She was preceded in death by her father Russell Terry, stepfather David Pate, brother Shawn Terry, and sister Sherry Brown. She was an aunt to 15 nieces and nephews as well as a great-aunt and had many cousins.
Kelly was her mother’s wild child always keeping her on her toes. She graduated from Gresham High School in 1985 and moved to Bend, Oregon to live until 2009. Zachary was born on December 19, 1994.
She found out she had a kidney disease after 2009 and would require a kidney transplant which she received in 2019. Managing the kidney disease required chemotherapy to put it in remission. In April 2022 she was diagnosed with leukemia which required chemotherapy again. In August 2022 she had a blood infection which she did not recover from and past on September 1, 2022.
Kelly lived life to the fullest and enjoyed raising her son, playing softball, hunting, riding her wave runner, and reading. She was loved and will be dearly missed.
