Ann Marie Kelly passed away on June 26th 2026 after a short battle. She was born on September 18th, 1933 in Somerville, Massachusetts. Ann was the only daughter of Patrick and Delia (Hession) Kelly. As a child she attended school in the Somerville and Catholic School System. She lived most of her life in Somerville.

Ann enjoyed traveling in her 20's and was especially proud of missionary work with the Catholic Church in New Mexico. She also traveled to the Soviet Union . 

At a very young age, Christianity was introduced to Ann. The Catholic religion always had a strong presence in her life. She was very involved with St. Benedicts Church and it was a mainstay of her entire life. 

Ann worked for 25 years with the Atlantic Bell Corporation and was very proud of the fact that she was able to retire at 47.
