Julia Anne (Ercole) Kelly

We are deeply saddened to announce that Julia Anne Kelly was called to heaven on December 19, 2021. She passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. We know without a doubt she's now dancing with angels.

Julia was born in Albuquerque, NM in 1962. She graduated with a BBA from UNM in 1984 and became a CPA soon after. Julia was mostly known for her generosity, kindness, and ministry to the sick, lonely, and elderly. She was uniquely gifted to provide comfort and support to people who were living in long-term, difficult circumstances. For many years, Julia freely shared her gift of music and love of young children by teaching and coaching so many for NM All State Choir. She was a disciplined and savvy financial planner, and her sound advice was often requested by family and friends. Julia was a devoted wife and dedicated mother. She was a devout Christian and known to many as a consistent and dependable intercessor.

Julia is survived by her husband of 38 years, Brian Kelly, daughter Camille Kelly, and son-in-law Brian Griffith. She is also survived by her sister Jennifer Gray.

Julia will be dearly missed by family and friends. However, we rejoice with her, knowing she is at peace and no longer knows pain, tears, or sadness.

Due to the pandemic, a small, private memorial will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to one of Julia's favorite charities: Nicaragua Advances in Christian Education (NACE), Joy Junction, or Feed NM Children.
