She was predeceased by her former husband, James M. Kelly in 2005, her two brothers, Paul Laflamme and Dr. Charles Laflamme, and her sister, Marie Laflamme.

Our deepest sympathies to the Kelly family, and to Roger. We have many fond memories of "Little Ann" as she was known to many in Tropicana Mobile Home Park, Fort Myers, FL. She and Roger loved to have their friends to their home to play cards and tell stories. We will miss her dearly.

My condolences to the Kelly family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Anne meant a lot to me and I am glad to have known her. I have many fond memories, from the times at work, at the beach or just listening to her funny stories as well as her many travels and how proud she was of her family. She will be truly missed by those who knew her. One thing for sure, she will be making the angels laugh with her stories!

When ever we go to "the beach" (Hampton Beach) we always think of Ann. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Brigitte, Larry, Maggie and Abby Cook

Aunt Anne will surely be missed. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was always a joy to be with. Fond memories have been made since the days of Buzzell St and all the great holiday parties. Steve and I offer our deepest condolences to the whole Kelly Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
