Kellie Pellerin

“May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May it shine on those you love and warm your heart until the return of the sun.” -Irish Blessing

Kellie Pellerin, lovingly known as “Kell,” age 66, of Seminole, Florida, passed away surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in Troy, New York, Kellie was the daughter of the late Alfred O’Rourke and Marjorie (Marge) O’Donnell O’Rourke. She was also predeceased by her mother-in-law, Genevieve “Jane” Pellerin.

Kellie was born and raised in Troy, NY, where she spent her early years before relocating to Florida.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Paul Pellerin, and their children — Aaron Pellerin, Blaire Pellerin, and Tracey Pellerin Francis (Shawn). She also leaves behind her brothers Dave O’Rourke, Daniel O’Rourke (Ellan), Mark O’Rourke, and her twin sister Kimberly O’Rourke (Sam). Kellie is also fondly remembered by several cousins, nieces, and nephews, all of whom she cherished deeply.

Kellie was a proud graduate of Lansingburgh High School. Her greatest pride and joy was her family — she devoted her life to being a loving wife, mother, and sister.

Outside the home, Kellie found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved gardening, fishing, and soaking up the Florida sunshine. The beach was her sanctuary, where she found peace by the water and could spend hours watching the birds.

Kellie will be remembered for her fiery spirit, her honesty, and her remarkable knowledge — she was the one you could always count on to have the answer to just about everything. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on through all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date, with details to be shared with family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Kellie’s honor to a charity of your choice or to an organization that reflects her love of nature and the outdoors.
