To a beloved niece and Goddaughter from a beautiful child to a wonderful woman. You didn't deserve what life threw at you but you bore it with a bravery and stoicism that few of us could find. God Bless.

In loving memory of Kellie Gray who sadly passed away on 4th July 2017:
Born in Downham Market, Norfolk.
At rest in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Kellie was a vibrant person; intelligent, lively, & caring. She had lots to live for: sadly diabetes Type 1 @ puberty rendered her a limited career & life span. A happy childhood in Norfolk; onto Doncaster, S.Yorks for mid-term schooling, & to Droitwich Spa, Worcs. for medical college training.
At age 18 she was awarded a nursing grant & began a 3 year nursing diploma @ Queens Medical, Nottingham.....
decided nursing wasn't for her & became a hotel management trainee travelling throughout the U.K. & parts of Europe . Key hotels were in Cheltenham, Cardiff, Galway(Ireland), St. Brelades/St. Helier(Jersey), & Lyon(France). She stayed in Italy as a nanny for a brief period too.
At age 26-29 ill health forced her back to live in London where she stayed with her father & took on pub duties: latterly reception duties @ a private medical practice on Harley St.!
Declared terminally ill she spent her last 10 years in Derbyshire with her loving mother Patricia Heffron-Marsden: & her final 2 years in a nursing home in Lincoln.
Throughout her life she maintained a positive outlook: saw lots, & participated whenever possible. A very brave girl
