Jennifer Lee Heuck Kelly

Jennifer Lee Heuck Kelly was born February 23, 1957 in St. Petersburg, FL and moved to DeLand in 1967. The firstborn in a family of four girls, Jennifer was a natural giver. She attended Woodward Elementary School, Florida Military School, and DeLand High School, where she was active in band, Juniorettes and community service. Jennifer attended Daytona Beach Community college, where she began dating the love of her life, William "Bill" Kelly. They both attended Florida State University. Jennifer and Bill were married in August 4, 1979. Jennifer worked at Lane Insurance in DeLand for decades, until cancer forced her into an early retirement. She is survived by her mother Wanda Heuck, daughters Beverly Ware and Stephanie Kelly-Thompson, son-in-law Trent Thompson, grandchildren Cora Ware, Isaac Ware, and Levi Thompson, and sisters Susan Gilhooley, Karen Quilling, and Nancy Gould.

There will be a private graveside service for family and close friends and an open to the public memorial to celebrate both Bill and Jennifer Kelly on February 5, 2022 at 2pm, at Schley's Bonsai and Supplies. We encourage all who loved both Bill and Jennifer to attend.
