Kelly Janeen Gesullo

Kelly was a longtime resident of Montgomery & Chester County PA and spent the last 8 years of her life in Loudon County Tennessee. Kelly was born on December 8th,1974 in Norristown, PA to Joseph Gesullo and Donna Gesullo Vandyke. She graduated from Great Valley High school in 1992.

Special Olympics was a big part of Kelly’s life. She participated in several sports but excelled at figure skating, traveling all over for competitions and bringing home the gold at many.

Kelly loved to perform and was so excited to be a cast member in several productions with the Fillmore Community Theater company.

In her free time she loved to scrapbook, knit hats, draw, line dance hook rugs and make jewelry.

Kelly was preceded in death by her father Joseph Gesullo and many grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Kelly is survived by mother Donna Vandyke, stepfather Laroy Vandyke, siblings Joseph Gesullo, Kim Schlag, and Jason (Cheryl) Gesullo, Nieces & Nephews Anna, Memphis, Emi, Addison and Logan Gesullo and Carsten (Maddison), Mattias and Ilsa Schlag as well as many beloved step siblings and step nieces and nephews.
