Kathy Biehl (née Kelly), aged 84, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on October 18, 2024. Born August 7, 1940 in Kingston Upon Thames, England, Kathy spent her early years in Kildare, Ireland.
Kathy is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, Charlie, with whom she shared a love and partnership that stood the test of time. Together, they built a family that was Kathy’s pride and joy: her three children, Margaret, Michael (Jane), and Claire; six beloved grandchildren, Danielle, Jemma, Terisa, Ryan, DJ, and Taryn; and five cherished great-grandchildren, who lit up her days. She is also survived by her brother John (Julie) Kelly of Bendigo, Australia, a brother and sisters-in law, and numerous nieces and nephews. Kathy was preceded in death by her parents John and Sarah (Shinkins) Kelly, her brother Gene Kelly, and her son-in-law, Marc Brown.
As an Air Force spouse for over two decades, Kathy embraced the challenges and joys of military life, moving frequently and starting over in new places. No matter where the Air Force took her family, Kathy approached every new chapter with grace, determination, and her signature work ethic. She took on a variety of jobs, excelling in each, and earning the respect of all who knew her. Kathy will be remembered for her cheeky laugh and vibrant spirit. She was the life of the party and made friends wherever she went. She touched countless lives with her warmth and generosity, and her presence will be deeply missed.
Her legacy of love, laughter, kindness, and resilience will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Kathy’s joyful spirit and lasting impact will be celebrated on November 23 at the Life Event Center at Florida Memorial Gardens in Rockledge, FL. Visitation will begin at 11, service at 12, and a small reception will follow.
