Kelly A Neeley

Kelly Beairsto Neeley, born on September 27, 1968, in Saranac Lake, New York, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2025, in Dalton, Georgia. She was a cherished individual whose life resonated with love, dedication, and a profound connection to nature and animals.

With an associate degree, Kelly made her mark in the community as the previous owner of Aquatic Pets and More, where she shared her passion for animals with countless customers. Her thriving business reflected not only her entrepreneurial spirit but also her deep affection for all creatures great and small.

Kelly was an avid outdoor gardener, finding joy and solace in nurturing plants, which mirrored her nurturing spirit towards her family and friends. Her enthusiasm for nature was evident in every bloom and leaf she tended to, as well as in the lives she touched with her kind and generous heart.

She leaves behind a loving family that includes her daughters, Penny Neeley and Kristin Triplett (Marcus), and her beloved granddaughter, Emily. She also is survived by her grandsons, Mason and Tyler, who brought her immense joy. Her legacy continues with her brother, Clifford Beairsto (Debbie), and her adoring nieces and nephews, Adam Beairsto, Caleb Sommers, Rachel Beairsto, and Nicole Beairsto.

Kelly was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Beairsto; her mother, Eileen Rogers; her stepfather, Gery Rogers; and her brothers, Tim Beairsto and Kevin Beairsto, as well as her sister, Debbie Beairsto. They will forever hold a special place in her heart and memory.

Kelly Beairsto Neeley's bright spirit will be deeply missed by those who had the privilege of knowing her. Her warmth, passion for life, and love for family and animals will resonate through the hearts of her loved ones for years to come.
