February 2, 1937 - December 21, 2022

It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our loving mother Carmella Mary Kelly (nee Bruce) at the Placentia Lions Manor on Dec. 21st.

Pre-deceased by parents Edward and Bridget Bruce; husband Joseph Maurice; Sons, Adam and Ed Kelly; son-in-law Ken Leonard; sisters, Beth Bartlett, Florence (Leonard-Walsh); and brothers, Dan, Fred, Albert, Edward.

Leaving to mourn her devoted children: Marilyn, Randy (Marian), Gerianne (Boyd), Joan (Gerard), Joe (Betty), Brad (Tina), Wendy (Andy), and Danny (Shelly); her siblings, Raymond (Shirley), Tom (Jean), June (Dan Foley), Rita (Jim Garner), and Clarence; sisters-in-law, Theresa, Juanita, Carmelita, Jean Hurley and Doll Kelly; special friend Linda; and a large circle of nieces, nephews and family friends.

Her favorite title was being Nanny to 25 loving grandchildren and Nan-Nan to 24 great-grandchildren - all of whom will miss her dearly and will cherish memories with her.

A special thanks to the nurses and staff at the Placentia Hospital and Lions Manor. And especially to Dr. Power who went above and beyond in looking after our mother.
