We celebrate the life of Liza Marie Gonzales Kelley, a daughter, sister, wife, cousin, friend, and most importantly, a devoted mother.

     Liza was born on January 30, 1982, to Rachel Vuittonet and Mark Dobbins. She was known by all who loved her for the depth of her heart. Liza loved fiercely and without reservation, carrying a strength and compassion that touched everyone she met. Her deep love for family and community was evident in all that she did.

     She was a devoted mother to her four children, Marcello, Nehemiah, Queen, and King, and a loving wife to James Kelley. In her work in customer service, Liza’s genuine care for people shone through in her daily interactions. She also pursued higher education with a focus on helping others, driven by her desire to support, uplift, and advocate for those on their own journeys toward healing and growth.

     Liza will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, resilience, and the boundless love she poured into her children and all those around her. Her legacy lives on through the many lives she touched and the compassion she shared so freely.

     Liza leaves to cherish her memory her parents, Rachel Vuittonet and Mark Dobbins, and her bonus mother, Michelle Dobbins; her four children; and her bonus children, James Jr. and Keira. She is also survived by her siblings: Carlos Gonzalez Jr., Justin Gonzales Curtis, Ronald Dale Williams, LaShonda Rochelle Ware, Freddie Buster Jr., Julius Karrow, Anthony Dobbins, and ShaMetria Smith. Her nieces and nephews, who cherished her deeply, include Reese, Sage Marie, Camrie Lou, Carlos Aidan, Curtis, Justin Jr., Jayden, Bryan, Lilana, Tatum, Brielle, Maliyah Allysa, Ashlee, Madi, Elizabeth, Hailey, Nastajia, Kaliyah, Lainey, Kelsey, Rico Jr., Marques, Mae’Sean, Khayden, Landon, Cullen Kenjo, Kole, Brandon, Destin, Shelton, and Christopher, as well as her great-nephew, Braxton Zane.
