Helen Patricia Kelly had a beautiful experience on Thursday, April 1st, 2010, which in the Christian world is Holy Thursday. The Heavenly Gates opened just for her. Her passing was anticipated for about two weeks due to complications from a stroke. Her wonderful loving family gathered around her in her autumn days to love and care for her. She is now free in heaven and in full health with her family and heavenly father.
Helen was born in Jersey City in September 1941, the fifth child of Helen and John Kelly. She spent her formative years in Jersey City. She later lived in Vineland, Totowa, Plainfield, and New Providence. For the last several years she has resided in Runnells Specialized Hospital in Berkeley Heights.
Helen never complained about her life path but rather made the most of every day taking what life had to offer in stride. Her positive attitude was not only for herself but for those around her. She had a happy smile, great sense of humor, and would greet her fellow residents and visitors with a strong measure of happiness enhancing their own day to day lives. Her friends would kid her that she was the “Mayor of Runnells.”
Surviving with wonderful memories of a very special sister and aunt are her brother Jack Kelly and his loving partner Barbara of Sleepy Hollow, New York; her sister-in-law Susan Kelly, wife of Helen’s late brother Eugene Kelly; and many loving nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her sister Dorothy Belenski in January 2001 and her brother Eugene Kelly in April 2002.
