Kelly Hillary-O’Brien of Marshfield died January 9, 2014 at the age of 42 after a very long battle with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, a rare but aggressive form of breast cancer. She leaves behind her loving husband Daniel O’Brien and her beautiful cousin Colleen Leddie.
Kelly loved the outdoors and all forms of fitness. Despite her diagnosis in 2008 she continued to run, teach spin classes and run boot camps until treatments finally took their toll on her health.
There will be no funeral services per Kelly’s wishes however she would ask those who knew her to educate themselves and others about Triple Negative Breast cancer and BRCA gene mutations and to honor her memory with a donation to Triple Negative Breast Cancer research by following this link https://tnbcfoundation.thankyou4caring.org/pages/donation-page---tribute-gifts or by mail to TNBC Foundation, P.O.
