Kelly Andreia Cochran

Kelly Andreia Cochran, age 49 of Brimfield, ran into heaven on May 14 unencumbered by her physical disabilities. God sends people like Kelly, who never complained, to set an example for the rest of us. She lived this long despite her disabilities because of her great spirit.

Your homework for today is to rejoice that she is home with Jesus, rejoice in all God has given you and not to complain about anything today.

She was born December 31, 1966, in Ashland, Ohio. Kelly was a member of St. Peter of the Fields Parish and this past Christmas was on the altar with her parents when they were altar servers. She loved that. She graduated from North High School in 1987.

Kelly loved her family, she loved to talk with people and loved her cup of coffee while listening to country music.

Kelly is survived by her father and step-mother Tom and Mary Cochran of Rootstown. She is also survived by her sister Michelle (Rob) Calderwood, her brothers Michael (Stacie) Ruth and Matt (Evelyn) Ruth, as well as her nieces and nephews: Nick, Natalie, Trey, Maddie, Evan, and Chloe and a large extended family both here and in West Virginia.

Kelly was preceded in death by her mother Roberta Shamblin.

Friends will be received Tuesday, May 17, 2016, from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at the Wood-Kortright-Borkoski Funeral Home, 703 E. Main St., Ravenna. Friends will also be received on Wednesday from 10:00 – 11:00 AM at St. Peter of the Fields Catholic Church, 3487 Old Forge Rd., Rootstown, with Reverend David Misbrener celebrating the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM. Final resting place will be St. Peter of the Fields Cemetery.

Kelly’s family would like to thank her friends at Leeda Northeast for taking such good care of her and loving her the last several years. In Kelly’s memory, memorial contributions may be sent to Parent’s Council for Portage County Developmental Disability, 2500 Brady Lake Rd, Ravenna 44266.
