Tess Kelly Obituary

Tess N. Kelly, 25

Grafton - Tess N. Kelly, 25, of King Street, died unexpectedly on Monday, July 30, 2018. She is survived by her husband, Kevin A. Daniel; her mother, Lisa K. (McCully) Kelly and her partner Lee Pelletier of South Grafton; her father, William M. Kelly and his partner Christine McGrain of Grafton; her sister, Tara M. Kelly and her fiancé Josh Geick of Boston; her grandmother, Lois Miller and her husband Walt Miller of Minerva, OH; many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces; and her cats, Kitty and Boogie. She was predeceased by her grandparents, William and Elizabeth Kelly, and William McCully. She was born in Buffalo, NY, on January 14, 1993.

Tess graduated from Grafton High School in 2011 and attended the University of Texas. After college she worked for the Department of Defense for several years.

Tess is a sweet soul who would give you the shirt off her back. She is a firecracker spirit who loved dancing and having a good time with the ones she loved. You could always find Tess walking or jogging down the road or through woods enjoying nature. She absolutely adored cats and always needed at least 2! Her spirit lives on and will always be with us!

A prayer service will be held at 12 noon at the conclusion of the calling hours. Burial will be private at a later date at Fairview Cemetery in South Grafton.
