FAYETTEVILLE - Our dear beautiful Celia passed from this world on Sunday night, March 29, 2009, at 24 years old. She is the beloved daughter of Colleen Kelly-McCarthy and John McCarthy of Fayetteville, and Dr. Timothy J. and Loree Kelly of Hendersonville; the sister of Timothy A. Kelly of Fayetteville; the granddaughter of David Connor and Terri Dixon and Daniel and Josephine Kelly. She came into this world early at 2 pounds 10 ounces, but was strong and willful and grew to be a lovely young woman. Her spirit and inner fire were barely contained by her small frame. She found joy in her studies in cosmetology, successfully completed her exams and was preparing for a career here in Fayetteville. She struggled with life but never gave up on her hope for a life of peace and love. Her family and friends find some comfort knowing she has finally found that peace in His arms. She will be missed and held in the hearts of all who had the grace to know her. Funeral services will be conducted at 3p.m. Friday, April 3, 2009, in Jernigan-Warren Funeral Home in Fayetteville. A viewing will be from 7 to 9 tonight, April 2, 2009, at the funeral home. Online condolences may be sent to ckellylaw@earthlink.net. Services entrusted to Jernigan-Warren Funeral Home of Fayetteville.
