Kathleen Kelsey Obituary

Mrs. Kathleen Duncan Kelsey, 73, of North Augusta, SC, wife of fifty-six years to Dennis Michael "Mike" Kelsey, entered into rest on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.

A lifelong resident of Aiken County, SC, she is the daughter of Louis Virgil "L.V" and Juanita Blanche Duncan. She retired from Pfizer after twenty-five years of service.

Kathleen devoted her life to her family. She was an excellent wife to Mike, a loving and devoted mother to Michael Tood and Jason Lance Kelsey, and a wonderful grandmother to Justin (Caroline) and Andrew Kelsey. Her house was always immaculate, and the needs of her family would always be put before her own. She enjoyed fishing and camping. However, nothing made her any happier than time spent with her family.

Along with her parents, she was also preceded in death by her siblings, Daniel Duncan, Jerry Duncan, Robert Duncan, Janice Tager, Mary Byars, Betty Ann Phillips, and Margaret Mitchum.

In accordance with her wishes, Kathleen was cremated, and no service will be held.
