Annette Kelly Obituary

Dear Terry and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved mother, Nettie. I went to the U of I with you, Terry, and even though I haven't seen or talked to you in over 30 years I will never forget our special friendship. I shared Mother's Day celebrations with you and your mom and I remember what a lovely lady she was, so much fun and so warm. My deepest sympathy to you and all her loved ones. Very sincerely,
Carol "Ruben" Clark

Dear Kathy, Kevin and Terry,
Wes and I enjoyed many visits with Nettie, we really loved her and will miss her.Thanks for sharing her with us. Both of us have lost our moms and we send our love and prayers to help you during this difficult time. God Bless

Dear Kathy & Family,

I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a true legend in my book. Someone I could always brag about. My Dad, Tom Keady,is very saddened by her passing as well. He would alway tell us stories about his cousin "Nettie". Although he told us the story about her being an Olympian 3,675 times, we enjoyed it each and every time. I too pass the stories to my children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Beth Flodstrom and Family

To the Kelly family,
We never met, but I grew up knowing your Mom. My mother was her teammate on the 1932 Olympic relay (Mary Carew). Their lives were very similar - what role models for us all. My condolences on your great loss.

Dear Kellys,

Our condolences go out to you on the loss of your lovely mother. We always enjoyed the company of your dear mom and dad, and we were pleased that they could attend our wedding in June 1988.

Regards,

Dear Kevin, Terry, and Kathy,

I am sad to hear of the passing of your mother. She was one of the great neighborhood Moms who put up with us wild children with a smile.

Dear Kathy and Family,

My heart is broken, "Aunt Nettie" was one of the sweetest people I ever knew. I will miss her and the phone calls dearly. She was a very proud but very humble Champion, and a true role model. I will never forget her trip to Boston, and Bill Rogers rushing to his store to meet her.
She will always occupy a very special place in my heart.

Love, Joanne

Kevin,Jackie,Kathy,Kevin Jr.
We mourn the loss of your mom and grandmother along with you.
We have many happy memories of spending time with her at Thanksgiving and other special family celebrations.
We're sure that she and Pete are holding hands and strolling together right now.
Our love and sympathy are with you.
Bob, Maren & Hollis

Kevin and family,
The loss of one's mother is always a truly sad event. My condolences on your loss but remember that she will remain in your hearts forever.
I am sure the rest of the Itasca Lions feel the same.
