Mr. Ted Carrol Kelly was born on December 30, 1962, to Sallie M. Kelly and the late Laddie Kelly in Spartanburg, SC. Ted was educated in the Spartanburg County school system and graduated from Spartanburg High School.  Ted was extremely gifted in contracting trades, especially painting. He also enjoyed riding bicycles, watching westerns, and playing football in his younger years.

Left to cherish his fond and loving memories are his mother, Sallie M. Kelly of the home; sons, Ted C. Kelly, Jr. of St. Louis, MO and Tyrone Kelly of Spartanburg, SC; daughters, Lashand Nicole Foster, Shaunta Luwane Foster both of Spartanburg, SC, and Jackie Coleman of Chicago, IL; sisters, Joanne Lawrence and Gerrie Geter both of Spartanburg, SC; two grandchildren and a host of other cousins, family, and friends.

Along with his grandparents and father, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Lanny Rogers Kelly and Anthony Tony Kelly.

On Tuesday, November 2, 2021, Ted Kelly, like in a good western movie, rode off into the sunset to live at peace forevermore.
