Nancy Susan Kelly, 57, of West Chester, PA passed away Monday June 1, 2026, at Chester County Hospital in West Chester.

She is survived by her loving husband, Joseph E. Kelly.  Nancy was a beloved wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, friend and dog mom. 

Born March 24, 1969, in Philadelphia, PA she was the daughter of the late Raymond E. Jenners and Marilyn H. Hamilton Jenners.

Nancy grew up in Roxborough, PA and graduated from W.B. Saul High School in 1987 and continued her education at Community College of Philadelphia for Business.

She worked at Dress Barn for over 25 years and received numerous awards and recognition throughout her tenure there.  When Nancy moved from retail, she found a new calling as a Human Resource Specialist at Delta-T Inc. 

A lifelong learner and history enthusiast, Nancy was a member of the Berks County Historical Society.  She had a true passion for genealogy and spent countless hours researching family histories, often tracing ancestral roots back to the 1700s.

Nancy found joy in many simple pleasures.  She loved cooking, gardening, painting, antique shopping, and reading.  Some of her happiest memories were made while traveling with family and friends, especially on trips to Lancaster County, Williamsburg, and California.  Whether visiting historic sites, discovering unique treasures, or sharing laughter with loved ones, Nancy embraced every adventure with enthusiasm and appreciation.   She also treasured her beloved English Labrador, Louie, and enjoyed taking him on weekly walks through nearby preserves with Joseph, friends, and their dogs.  Nancy’s warmth, wisdom, and friendship touched many lives and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
