It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother, daughter and sister, Angela Marie Kelly on, July 16, 2017 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by her loving family, after a long courageous battle with cancer. Angela was born in Glace Bay on September 17, 1976. She was the daughter of Cotter and Barbara (DeCoste) Kelly.

She will be sadly missed by special nephews, William and Mason; her paternal grandmother, Cecilia Kelly; her Godson, Roman; Godmother, Ann Marie Kelly, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. A special mention to two of Angela’s closest friends, Tanya MacLeod and Vanessa Gaudet. She was predeceased by a sister, Sherrie Lee in infancy.
