Claudette Kelly Obituary
1936 - 2025
Claudette Marie Kelly passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 5, 2025, at the age of 89. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Claudette dedicated her life to caring for others-both in her professional career as a Registered Nurse and in her lifelong role as the heart of her family.
She was a member of the Catholic Women's League in Victoria, BC, remaining active in the organization until her health declined. Her faith, compassion, and commitment to service touched many lives.
Claudette is survived by her beloved husband of 64 years, Ralph James Kelly, her four children, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Her kindness, strength, and deep love for her family will be cherished and remembered always.

She was a remarkable lady, full of grace and poise. She was my best friend's mother. I knew her for over fifty years. She made me feel welcome and loved. She was compassionate and kind. She was a treasure, a real lady.

I remember 1987 when my brother Bobby and myself (Donny) visited our cousins and their mother, Claudette was so amazing the way she welcomed us to her home like we were her own children!!!
A True ANGEL she was and will be missed terribly. The planet was way better with her here!!! God bless to all the family, I love you all!
Donald J Bronson,
Family forever!
