Anny Kelly (nee Burgess) age 80 of Bloomingdale passed away peacefully on February 16, 2016 with her family around her.
Anny was born and raised in the town of Rimouski, in the Quebec Province of Canada. She lived there until she was about 18. After completing her nursing degree she moved to Toronto for her first job as an RN. After a stint in Toronto she and a friend took a job offer in Vancouver and then eventually made the decision to move to America, first in San Francisco and then Los Angeles California. In Los Angeles she met her future husband Robert Kelly. Robert Kelly CPA was living in the same apartment complex as Anny, so they started out as neighbors. They eventually fell in love and in November of 1963 they were married.
Shortly after they were married they moved to Las Vegas where their sons Michael and Stephen were born. They then moved to Scottsdale, Arizona for a short time before deciding to move back east to be near Robert’s family in Mount Kisco New York, it was here that their daughter Judy was born. After a number of years, Robert’s company, Western Union, relocated to New Jersey and so did the Kelly family, settling in Wayne in 1972 and staying there for the next 30 years. In Wayne, Anny was a busy mother of 3 children but once they had grown she decided to return to nursing and worked as an RN at the Lakeview Nursing home for 10+ years until she retired.
Anny was an avid tennis player. Both Robert and Anny loved playing cards and were members of a local Bridge Club. She also loved taking trips to Rimouski and Quebec City Canada to visit with her family every summer. Out of all her interests and passions, Anny’s greatest devotion was to her family. She was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. Anny touched the lives of many people and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Anny is survived by her daughter Judy Kelly of Bloomingdale; her son Michael and his wife Natalie of Lincoln Park, and Stephen and his wife Renee of Summit and five grandchildren Erin, Emily, Katherine, Stephen, and John. She was predeceased by her husband Robert in 1996, and more recently by her two sisters Dorothy Gagne and Judith Burgess.
In lieu of flowers, friends may consider donations to Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research Church Street Station, attn. Tribute Gifts PO Box 780 NY, NY 10008-0780.
