Kelly Marelich, age 22, entered heaven on March 15, 2014 in Manteca.  The world was blessed when Kelly was born on April 5, 1991 in Santa Clara, CA.  In heaven, she is reunited with her grandfather, the late Stephen P. Marelich Jr.
   Kelly leaves behind her loving parents, Stephen P. Marelich III of Fremont and Gloria Henderson of Manteca and her grandparents, Joe Henderson, Ruth Rossi, and Janet Holdren.  She was blessed with her sister, Candace Henderson of Fresno and her lifelong best friend, Amy Fennely. Kelly also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended family.
   Kelly was a graduate of Sierra High School and involved in the theatre.  After graduating, she attended Stanislaus State in Turlock. 
   Kelly blessed the world with her beautiful spirit, filled with love, compassion and generosity. She was intelligent and unique. Her presence would light up the room.  She had a gift for conversation, always knowing what to say to comfort and support her family and friends and lend a helping hand. Kelly had a wonderful sense of humor filled with laughter and witty sarcasm.  She appreciated the beauty of flowers and she loved animals, especially cats.  She enjoyed various kinds of music.  Kelly will be in our hearts forever.
