It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Barbara Lynn Kelly, who left us peacefully on April 19, 2025, at the age of 72. Born in Havre de Grace, Maryland, to the late Clyde Jefferson and Mildred (McMillan) Kelly. and spent her life dedicated to her family and her work in civil service as a Citizenship Officer for the Immigration & Naturalization Services. She was a 1970 graduate of Havre de Grace High School.
Barbara dedicated her career to serving her community and nation as a Citizenship Officer with the Immigration & Naturalization Services. Her unwavering commitment to helping others will be remembered as a testament to her compassionate spirit and dedication to public service.

Barbara was also a loving grandmother to her three grandchildren, Kylee, Chloe, and Josiah Kushnerick, who will carry her memory in their hearts forever. Additionally, she is survived by her nephew, Sean Carroll.
Barbara had a zest for life that was truly infectious. A true Marylander at heart, she was an avid fan of the Baltimore Orioles and Aberdeen IronBirds, finding joy in cheering for her teams as they took to the field.
