Heaven Rae Kelley, forever 16, of Mt. Holly Springs, passed to eternal life on Friday, July 17, 2015. She was at home surrounded by her loving family. After a four year courageous journey, precious Heaven did not lose a battle with cancer but won her new life with her Heavenly Father. She was born on May 26, 1999 in Carlisle, a daughter of John R. Kelley, Jr. and Jamey L. (Shank) Kelley of Mt. Holly Springs.

Heaven was a member of the Boiling Springs High School Class of 2017. She attended Carlisle Brethren in Christ Church and most recently, the Carlisle Evangelical Free Church, Carlisle. Heaven enjoyed cheerleading, ballet, watching her brother's baseball games, singing, shopping, swimming, arts and crafts, making jewelry and having her own youth group, Heaven's Angels. Most of her days were filled with snuggling with her white westies, Squirt, Jovi, Patch and Sempi and her crazy cat Coover. Heaven appreciated and looked forward to all the visits from her friends.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by one brother, Tayven Kelley of Mt. Holly Springs, two sisters; Ashley Shank (companion, Tyler Shopp) of Carlisle and Olivia Kelley (companion, Zach Fiebke) of Columbia, SC, paternal grandparents; John Kelley, Sr. and Paulette (Slusser) Kelley of Carlisle, maternal grandparents; Gregory and Brenda (McCaslin) Shank and Larry Statler and Connie (Fulton) Shank, all of Carlisle, three uncles; Craig Kelley of Carlisle, Mike Hinchberger of Shermansdale and Chad Statler of Charlotte, NC, two aunts; Andrea Kelley of Carlisle and Kimberly Shank of Shermansdale and seven cousins; Dylan, Madison, Alexandra and Emma Kelley, Samantha and Tabitha Beckerleg and Macayla Mills.

A viewing will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 27, 2015 followed by funeral services at 12:00 noon in the Carlisle Evangelical Free Church, 290 Petersburg Rd., Carlisle, with Pastor Shad Baker officiating. The family would love to see a lot of pink at Heaven's services, which was her favorite and her team color. A time of fellowship will immediately follow the services at the church. Ewing Brothers Funeral Home, Carlisle, is in charge of arrangements. Memorial donations may be made to Hope for Heaven, C/O Member's 1st Federal Credit Union, 1166 Walnut Bottom Rd., Carlisle, PA 17015.
