Kelley (Donovan) Irvine
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Kelley (Donovan) Irvine on June 2nd, 2026, at the age of 64. Kelley was a devoted wife, caring mother, proud grandmother, cherished sister, aunt, and dear friend.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 44 years, David Irvine; her daughters and best friends, Julie Silieff (Nick) and Jessica Irvine (James); and her treasured grandchildren, Owen and Emily. Predeceased by her parents, Patricia and Jack Donovan, and her brother, Daniel Donovan (Gail). She leaves behind her beloved sister, Colleen Askew (Grahame), along with many nieces, nephews, and members of the extended Donovan and Irvine families.
Kelley lived life with warmth, laughter, and fun. She loved spending time on the golf course and could happily watch golf on TV for hours and hours. She treasured lunches with her girlfriends, where the reservation was made for noon and lasted until dark. She always looked forward to travelling with her sister-in-crime, Colleen, creating endless memories and stories, some that are best left untold. But nothing outshone her love for her family. She cherished their Sunday night dinners and her absolute greatest joy was taking care of her grandchildren, Owen and Emily, who affectionately called her "Granola" and brought her immeasurable happiness.
Kelley's love, kindness, and unforgettable smile will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.
A private celebration of Kelley's life will be held at a later date. For those who wish to honour her life, donations can be made to the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation.
