WAKEFIELD — Kelly Ledoux-Walsh died unexpectedly on Monday, July 24, at her home. She was just 21 years old.
Born in Melrose on June 19, 1996, she was the beloved daughter of Sean M. Walsh and Kathy H. Ledoux-Walsh.
Kelly was raised in Wakefield and was a graduate of Wakefield Memorial High School, Class of 2014, where she was a member of the cross country and indoor and outdoor track teams. Kelly was a four-year letter winner and was captain of the three Warrior teams as a senior.

Kelly was a student at Merrimack College and was a member of their cross country and track and field teams.
She was pursuing a degree in Business Administration and would have graduated this spring.
Kelly was sweetness and light; she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She loved having her friends at her home; hosting parties after most of the high school dances and holidays. Above all, she loved her family and spent as much time with them as she could.
