Obituary of Jane Follett KELLY

January 14, 1935 – Massachusetts, Cambridge County, U.S.A
November 2, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta
 

Jane passed away peacefully on the morning of Monday, November 2, 2020 in Calgary.

Jane made Calgary her adoptive home by choice, as she loved it, but it was far away from her birthplace of Cambridge, Massachusetts. She grew up in Scarsdale, New York and followed in the footsteps of her physician father by attending the Cornell University School of Nursing. After graduating, she worked delivering in-home nursing care to people in Boston. It was during this time that she met her future husband, Gordon, who was also working in Boston after graduating from university. They were married in Scarsdale but soon moved to Toronto. Jane remained active in the medical community for most of the rest of her life from heading up the volunteer department at North York General Hospital to working in the Emergency Department of Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary. After Gordon’s death, she chose to remain in Calgary and opened a new chapter at Garrison Green Senior Community. Never shy to add her view on things she served on the Residence board until the last weeks of her life. She was loved.

Jane will be greatly missed by many but mostly by her son, Douglas, her daughter, Susan and her sister Susan Morris.
