Annie Lee Kelly

Annie Lee Kelly was born on March 20, 1948, and departed this life surrounded by her loving family on July 1, 2024. A gentle spirit throughout her life, she was devoted to her faith, family, and community.

Annie dedicated her life to serving the Lord and was an active member of the Pentecostal faith community. She found great joy in her church activities and was known for her warm presence and kindness. Annie's commitment extended beyond the church, as she actively participated in PTA events at her grandchildren's schools. She was always eager to support their education.

Though her professional life centered on her role as a dedicated housewife, Annie will be fondly remembered for her selfless nature, loving spirit, and ability to bring laughter with her sense of humor. She found joy in simple pleasures such as walking, helping others, and watching her favorite shows. Her cooking was legendary among family and friends, a testament to her generous heart.

Annie was preceded in death by her mother, Birdie Lee Harris; her daughter, Danita Kelly; her sister, Linda Joyce White; her niece, Candy Harris; her nephews, Tony "Doobie" Harris and Cornell Harris; and her cousin, Lynn Kelly. 

Those left to cherish lasting memories include her husband, Edward Bennett; her children - Corey Kelly, Laquinda Tyner, Tammiko Ridge (Frederick Sr.) and Angela Hunter (Gregory Sr.); 12 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; her siblings - J.L. Epps, Bobby Daniels, Virginia Rogers, Wanda Wright, Andy Harris, Randy Harris, Darnice Hill, Tammy King, and Lorna Ellis (Lawrence); and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Poem of Life

Life is but a stopping place, 

A pause in what's to be,

A resting place along the road

To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,

Different paths along the way,

We all were meant to learn some things,

But never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,

Far greater than we know.

For some, the journey's quicker,

For some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,

We'll claim a great reward,

And find an everlasting peace,

Together with the Lord.
