In Loving Memory of Our Mother

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Michaele Kelly who passed away on July 12, 2026. She was a source of comfort, strength, wisdom, and unconditional love to all who knew her.

Our mother lived her life with kindness, grace, and a generous heart. She had a way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and loved, whether through a warm smile, a thoughtful word, or the simple comfort of her presence. Her love for her family was the center of her life, and the lessons she taught through her patience, compassion, and quiet strength will continue to guide us.

She found joy in the moments that mattered most: time spent with family, she was a voracious reader and enjoyed sharing stories, offering encouragement, and creating memories that will be treasured forever. Her legacy is one of love, resilience, and devotion, and it lives on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, family, and friends.

Though our hearts ache in her absence, we are grateful for the gift of her life and for every moment we were blessed to share with her. She will be remembered for the love she gave so freely, the strength she carried so beautifully, and the countless ways she made our lives better.

Michaele Kelly is survived by her husband, Wayne Kelly, Sons, Burt and Jennifer Green and granddaughters, Alexandra and Samantha, and Scott and Jacqee Green, and grandchildren Robert and Shadaira. She was preceded in death by her mother, Violet Austin.

Her graveside ceremony will be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at Memory Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Roswell, NM. Family and friends are invited to gather, remember, and honor the beautiful life she lived.

She will be forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.
