Obituary
Kelly Austin D’Angelo, 28, passed away August 5, 2022, in Daytona Beach, Florida. Kelly was born March 18th, 1994, in Pinellas County to loving parents, Michele Roman and Vincent D’Angelo. She was a very dynamic and engaging person who aspired to be successful. She continued to explore many different occupations and excelled in each one. Even up to her untimely passing, she was constantly searching and learning. She settled into a 6-year relationship with Sandy V., whom she loved and shared with him an adventurous life. They enjoyed traveling on occasions to new places and cities. They found the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina to be a draw for them and they would go on short trips to remote towns in the mountains. There they would experience the local nuances and enjoyed hiking.
Kelly was multifaceted, but her bright personality was captivating. Everyone would comment how she would light up a room with her smile and captivate you with her sparking eyes. She was an individual who loved, worked, and played hard. Her passion was YOGA, which she was very skilled at. Some of the poses took hours of practice, strength, and discipline. I would watch her contortions sometimes and they would make me wince.
Kelly is sweet loving and compassionate. In recent years, she became a Mama to a few fur babies, and she loved them as passionately as she loved her family. She left this earth way to soon, but she is now in Heaven with Jesus and her Poppy, whom she loved from her core. She missed him terribly when he passed and would often cry and wish he was still here to advise her. Now they are both there in Heaven, united with Jesus, awaiting to be reunited with their loved ones.
Kelly was predeceased by her grandfathers, Frederick Roman, Poppy Truitt, and Wilbert D’Angelo.
Kelly is survived by her parents, Michele Roman and Vincent D’Angelo, her maternal grandmother, Sharon Truitt, her paternal grandmother and her husband, Carol Kuiper and Bryan Kuiper, her cousins, Erica Seaverns and Justin Seaverns, and many Aunts and Uncles. Kelly is dearly loved and her love and memory will always be in our hearts.
