She loved spending time in Ocean City and Siesta Key, Fla. Kelly is survived by her husband, Robert A. Allen, MD; her four children, Rachel, Sarah, Rebecca and Matthew; her mother, Mary Joan Wyatt (Stephen Gruszkowski); her sister, Sherry Scott and her husband, Kevin; her niece, Cassidy Scott, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Dr. Herbert B.
