Kelly was a Devout Catholic, who lived her life with a very strong Faith and purpose. She now joins her husband, Ray; her parents, Russell Arnold and Lydia Ellen Hagley Light; her siblings - Barbara Lou Light Agee, Thomas Glen and James David Light; and her son-in-law, Gary L. Ellis.
Kelly was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend. She loved nothing more than her family. Left to share Kelly's legacy of love are her 5 V's and their families: Vincent Raymond (Martha), Victor Light (Stephanie), Valerie George Ellis, Von Thomas (Jane), and Vanessa Kelly George; 12 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren: Rachel Meyer (Ashtynn and Emersyn), Nicholas Murray (Dylan), Madeleine, Sophia, Esabella, Victoria, Andre', Raymond Reid (Brandi, Logan), Ellen, Anthony(Katie), Bobby, and her namesake - Kelly Christian Stafford; Godchildren: niece Cynthia Napier and sons, Alex, Clark and Grant of Australia; Kathy Williams Madenjian, Tracy Edmonds Herz, Katie Schulz, Terri Duffy Puma and Scott Duffy; and very dear friend, Ruth Bernstein and family. Kelly is also survived by her brother-in-law Louis George (Betty), sister-in laws Mary Lue Light and Barbara George, and many loving cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
Kelly has been described as someone who truly lived a selfless life of service. A life of integrity, style, class, grace, and empathy. She has been an advocate and inspiration to countless people; a champion of women and children, working to promote access to equality, and righting the injustice she saw. She earned the respect and confidence of others, as a mentor, trusted advisor, confidant, and friend. She was strong and independent, in a soft and diplomatic way.
Kelly was born and raised in Huntington, and never lost her Huntington Pride. She moved to New York City, working for NBC and enjoying all the City had to offer. She returned to Huntington to marry her High School Sweetheart. Ray and Kelly moved to Charleston to raise their family, where Kelly enjoyed being the perfect hostess, gourmet cook and entertainer. Her door was always open, and she always set an extra seat at her table, because "you never knew who might stop by, or need a meal".
Last year we could not imagine our world without Kelly in it, and this year we know we need more people like her. More people with room in their heart for people of all backgrounds, political views, religions, and race. Kelly's goal in life was simply to help make a better world for others. She did that. Her bright, infectious smile; her enthusiasm for life, and the encouragement in her voice is missed every day; but will continue to shine and be felt by those she loved and touched.
