Kelly A. Perrone

Kelly A. Perrone, age 59, passed away on November 5, 2026. She was born on August 1, 1967, to Richard and the late Barbara Ann Lorius. Kelly is survived by her husband Christopher, children Allison and Joey Perrone, and father, Richard Lorius.

Making strong, lasting relationships with others came easy to Kelly, as she constantly made friends wherever she went. She devoted her life to caring for those she loved, not only within her own home with her husband and children, but also within her parents’ home when they no longer could. She took on the responsibilities of both households, preparing meals, maintaining the homes, providing transportation to appointments, coordinating family gatherings, and making sure everyone’s needs were taken care of.

Her generosity, dependability, and selflessness were evident in the countless ways she cared for those around her. Whether caring for others’ children, looking after pets, house-sitting, or running errands, she never hesitated to show up for the people she loved. She was always just a phone call away, ready to drop everything to help.

She was always “team mom” of her children’s sports, “class mom” of their classrooms, and never once forgot to put a note in with the lunches she made for her family. She never forgot a birthday or significant milestone in a loved one’s life. Along with traveling and playing tennis, her favorite things were cooking and hosting friends and family for dinners, game nights, parties, and Sunday Browns games. She led by example, teaching those around her honesty, integrity, kindness, and how to make others feel loved and important.
