Diane Kelly Obituary

Diane L. Kelly, 70, of Mt. Pleasant (East Huntingdon Township), passed away Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, at her residence. Diane was born Sept. 30, 1954, in Mt. Pleasant, a daughter of the late Merritt and Mary Lou (Sturtz) Kelly. Diane was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. She was a graduate of Southmoreland High School, Class of 1972, and worked for many years at Amtrak in Philadelphia and retired as a certified nursing assistant, working for Westmoreland County. She was a longtime member of Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ in Scottdale. Diane had a heart of gold and was an avid Steeler fan, enjoyed traveling, and spent time at the beach. She cherished and doted over her two grandchildren. Diane will be sadly missed by her loving family, her two children, Stacey McErlane (Patrick) of Langhorne and Hunter McErlane (Catie) of NJ; grandchildren, Dominic and Gianna. Her two brothers, David Kelly (Patti) of Scottdale and Donald Kelly (Shari) of Hempfield Township; and her cousins, nieces, and nephews. Personalized arrangements are under the professional supervision of the ROBERT B. FERGUSON FUNERAL HOME, 105 Spring St., Scottdale (www.fergusonfunerals.com). At the request of the family, there will be no viewing. A memorial service will be held later in the spring at Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ Scottdale. Final resting place will be in Mt. Lebanon Cemetery at Tarrs. Memorials may be made to Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ, Scottdale, PA. Love Lasts Forever!
