Kelly Lee Marie Parry (nee Mathieu)
Artist, humourist, horsewoman Kelly Parry passed away
peacefully on a warm summer day sitting under an ancient Oak tree where she shared
time with her hubby, horse, dog and cat. She was found with a gentle smile on her lips and hands facing upward to embrace the sun and sky. This is a fitting end to a
life well-lived and a humble representation of the love of and for the animals and humans in her
life.
She believed in God simply because she wanted to not because she had to. The thought of God gave purpose and beauty to her life. She believed in the bond between four-legged critters and
their ability to transform two-legged people. She loved deeply towards a few and
warmly to all who came in contact with her. Her lesson to others is to meet each other halfway and if you want to be heard you have to first be willing to listen.
With a strong belief in the human
spirit to lean towards the good she shared her thoughts and ideas in several
books that made the best sellers list. She was known for her ability to put a
unique and often humourous spin on the world of human foibles and public
affairs. In her final years she enjoyed a satisfying level of success and
acceptance by a small but loyal cult following interested in her insights on
spirituality, morality, and community spirit.
Here are the words she would want you to remember. "There is something wonderful waiting in the world for you. Something glorious to opened up and explored. It won't come in the excitement of the world but only in the quiet of your heart. So stop and listen. Trust. Love."
