Diane Kelly went to be with Jesus on January 31, 2025, at the age of 78. Preceded in death by her loving husband of 27 years, Wayne T. Kelly and her son Rodney T. Kelly. Cherished daughter of the late Thomas S. Dentice and the late Sandra Dentice (nee Balistreri). Proud Mom to Dawn (Peter Eversum) Kelly. Fun-loving Grandmother to Shane T. Kelly-Eversum and Savannah (Josh) Perez. Diane was thrilled to be a Great-Grandmother to Contessa Perez. She was delighted with her great-granddaughter and greatly enjoyed watching videos of Contessa.
She lived in Wisconsin her entire life and devoted herself to her friends. She enjoyed great food, long conversations and a good laugh. Diane was fun loving, gentle and always curious about the world around her. Diane had quick wit and had a unique way of engaging those around her with her humor and joy. Diane formed special individualized bonds with friends which lasted for decades.
Diane loved animals, especially cats. Her heart was touched by every feline she met and admired them all regardless of shape or size. She had many feline friends over the years who held special places in her heart.
Special thanks to friends and caregivers who helped and supported her during her illness.
A private service will be held to honor her.
