(1961-2009) – Beloved wife of Brad, daughter of Lillian "Betty" Williams and the late Norman Williams, sister of: Betty (Dave) Leibold, Vicki (Paul) Cook, Paul Williams, Donna (Tom) Bolig, Tom (Robin) Williams, Rich (Shannon) Williams, Dave (Tracey) Williams, Joe Williams, Chris Williams, Dan (Christine) Williams, Laura (Kyle) Kennett, Theresa (Tom) O'Dea. Mary also leaves behind 16 nieces and nephews, four godchildren and her rescued greyhound, Scout.
Mary had an incredible ability to laugh at herself. A day in the life of Mary was always an adventure. An accomplished athlete and world traveler, she brought light and laughter to everyone around her.
Mary earned honors for volleyball at Marian High School and a full athletic scholarship to Florida State University. After graduation, she became a skilled cyclist and tri-athlete. In 1989 she met her best friend, Brad Kelley, and the two were married in 1990. They shared a love of the outdoors and all sports, especially baseball. Steadfast in her Catholic faith, Mary faced life's challenges head-on. She extended herself to others, particularly the needy. Her generosity, compassion and thoughtful nature were a shining example to all.
A deep void will be left with Mary's passing. She is loved and will be missed, but she will live on in our hearts and memories.
