ST. IGNATIUS — Mercedes Joy Kelly, a remarkable soul who faced immense pain with unwavering bravery, passed away peacefully on Nov. 1, 2023. Mercy was born Nov. 17, 1958. Her indomitable spirit and comforting words of “Oh, it will be ok,” were a source of strength to all who knew her. Mercy will be dearly missed for her courage, unapologetic sass, and quick wit, which lit up our lives.
