Kelly Marie Shirley

Born in Charleston, West Virginia, Kelly was the beloved daughter of Tom and Joan Wojciechowski. She dedicated her life to caring for others as a Nurse Practitioner (NP), a profession in which she was deeply respected for her compassion, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to her patients. Kelly’s professional career went from years in the Emergency Department at Northside Hospital Atlanta, to Interventional Radiology at Northside Cherokee. Recently she had practice as a NP at 4 Ever Young, a Wellness Center in Woodstock, GA.

Kelly is survived by her loving husband, Chad Shirley, and their two beautiful daughters, Allie (6) and Brooke (4). In addition, she is also survived by her parents Tom and Joan Wojciechowski, her siblings, Beth Reed (Rick), Michael Wojciechowski (Alysha) and her nieces and nephews, Ashley Schmeltz (Justin), Austin Reed, Dylan Reed, Abby Reed, Evelyn and Clara Wojciechowski as well as extended family.

Kelly enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her girls, who were the center of her world. Her family was her greatest joy, and her love for them was boundless and deeply felt. She found joy in staying active, working out, and spending sunny days at the lake. Always full of life and energy, Kelly cherished moments with her close circle of friends and was rarely still—always on the move, always making memories. She will be remembered for her bright spirit, her deep love for those around her, and the warmth and strength she shared so generously.

Kelly was a Christian and lived her faith quietly and steadfastly through the love and care she showed others.
