Kelly Ann Price

Kelly Ann Price, 58, of Columbia, SC, passed into eternal life on February 1, 2023, at her residence. Kelly was born September 11, 1964, in Gulfport, Mississippi. She was the daughter of the late Harry B. and LaVera Lee Price. Kelly graduated from Gulfport High School and received an Associate Degree from Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College. She was a loving sister, daughter, and friend and had a quick wit. She always remembered a birthday or special event and took great care in choosing just the right card and gift. She spent over half of her 40 years of work at Columbia Counseling Center, many as office manager. Kelly was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Columbia and served over 20 years in the Prayer Line Ministry. She was faithful in her attendance at work and church, rarely missing a day or a Sunday. In both her work and as a Prayer Line Encourager, she touched innumerable lives with her words and caring actions. Kelly is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Sharon P. and John D. Mackintosh of Lexington; brother, Joe P. Price of Columbia; nephew, Alex D. P. Mackintosh and his wife Rachel and grand-niece, Cordelia Rose Grier Mackintosh of Washington DC; and a number of cousins.
