Ms Ann dedicated her life to serving others. She worked at Okaloosa Memorial Hospital, Crestview Convalescence Center before it changed to Crestview Rehabilitation Center, as an attendant at the Okaloosa County Rest Area, and finally North Okaloosa Medical Center retiring after 37 years of faithful service. She enjoyed listening to gospel music, watching game shows or Hallmark Channel, and attending church.  Above all her favorite pastimes, family gatherings were Ms. Ann’s favorite, especially spending time with her grandchildren and great-grands.   While the family takes comfort in knowing that the earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal.

Whitehurst-Powell Funeral Home is honored to serve the Kelly family during this most difficult time and asks that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
