Kelly Marie Roberts

Kelly Marie (Brown) Roberts, 53, of Hampton, Virginia, passed away peacefully in her home on November 3, 2023, after her fierce and feisty battle with breast cancer. Kelly was surrounded by her family and loved ones, she was also comforted by her faithful and loyal dog, Disco, who was always by her side.

Kelly was born in Hampton in 1970 to James Alan Brown and Carolyn “Cookie” Brown. Kelly attended Calvary Christian School (7th-11th) and graduated from Hampton Christian High School in 1988. Her love of people led her to work in various customer service roles throughout her career.

Kelly was preceded in death by her Grandparents: Albert & Marie Brown, Audrey Lee & Merle Parsons, and her beloved Aunt Marian Brown. She is survived by her parents Alan & Cookie Brown, three children Ashley Kriner, Nickolas Roberts, and Haley Patlan (Jonathan), as well as her granddaughter Samantha Kriner. Kelly is also survived by her brother, Brian Brown (Sherry), sister Deborah Brown and lifelong friends Ronda Moody (Bob) and DeAnna Kimrey (Jay). Kelly loved her nieces and nephews as if they were her own: Thomas & Jack Brown, Ryan Stone, Mariah Roederer, Morgan Walker (Predist) Mackenzie Brown, Micaela Brown, Megan Johnson, Halle & Daniel Snyder.

Kelly was always the life of the party, and her happiest place was at the beach making years of memories with friends & family. There was never a stranger in Kelly’s eyes, and she would go out of her way to stand up for anyone who needed her to, whether they realized or not. She will always be remembered for her dedication to animals, insects, and spiders, saving all that she could.

A memorial and visitation with the family will be at Parklawn-Wood located at 2551 N. Armistead Avenue, Hampton, Virginia, 23666 on November 25, 2023 from 10:00-12:00 and a private Celebration of Life will be held directly afterward.
