Kelly Elizabeth Ayers born December 7, 1986 in Monterey, California age 36 passed away April 20, 2023 at her home in Woodstock, Georgia. During her early years she lived in Northern and Southern California, Texas, Japan, Florida and Puerto Rico before moving to Acworth, Georgia in July, 2000. A member of North Cobb High School Class of 2005, Kelly received her nursing credentials in Florida and worked as a nurse in Jacksonville before returning to Cobb County in 2015 where she continued her nursing career.
As a youngster Kelly enjoyed playing T Ball for the Texas Power Rangers and cheerleading for the San Diego Mighty Mites Pee Wee football team. She also enjoyed playing Uno immensely and did so with family members almost daily. She loved animals and cared for many throughout the years.
Kelly was well traveled and truly relished retail therapy opportunities by power shopping as she and her family visited several destinations throughout Asia and the Caribbean. She developed a love for the ocean as a teenager living in Puerto Rico, often snorkeling or simply swimming in the Caribbean Sea. She enjoyed searching for seashells while strolling local beaches and the shores of Vieques, Culebra and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. Kelly’s life was much too short, she will be eternally missed by her loving family and all who knew her.
Kelly is survived by her daughter Hallie Ayers, parents Larry and Rhonda Ayers, sister Susan (Eric) Barrier, nieces Lily, Alora, Amelia, uncle John (Jennifer) Ayers and grandmother Jean Selvage. Kelly was preceded in death by her partner Brandon Allison, her paternal grandparents and maternal grandfather.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that a donation be made in Kelly’s name to Road Trip Home at Roadtriphome.org. Kelly’s celebration of life will be held on April 27, 2023 at Georgia Funeral Care in Acworth, Georgia.
