Kelly Wells Lucas

Kelly Lucas, 53 of Charleston gained her wings Monday August 3, 2015 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She has joined hands with her mother in the sky. Kelly graduated from East Bank High School in 1979 where she was an avid softball player. She spent many years traveling the country in an 18 wheeler taking every opportunity to stop and enjoy the scenery and especially the wildlife. She later shifted gears into pet grooming where she dedicated 13 years of service to PetSmart and touched the lives of many animals from simply styling their hair to finding new forever homes. Her illness forced her to stop work but she loved her own animals, past and present very much. She was preceded in death by her mother, Barbara and ex-husband, Les. Kelly is survived by her daughter, Courtney, 24 of Charleston; father, Bill of Hernshaw; brother, Jeff of Winifrede; along with an endless list of family and friends. Funeral services will be held Thursday August 6, 2015 at 1:00 PM at Stevens & Grass Funeral Home, Malden with Rev. David Peters officiating. Burial will follow at the Lucas Cemetery, Mill Creek. A visitation with family and friends will be held Wednesday August 5 from 6 to 8 PM at the funeral home. The family would like to thank all involved with her care at CAMC especially, Dr. Cotes. Don’t cry for the loss of her weak body but rejoice for the entering of her soul into Heavens gates. Just remember she’s watching us from above.
