Kelly Shayne Norrey, Fumina, VIC—Community in Mourning for a Beloved Twin

Kelly Shayne Norrey, Fumina, VIC—Kelly Shayne Norrey has tragically passed away, leaving her family and friends in deep sorrow. Kelly, who was known for her infectious smile and ability to light up any room, leaves behind her identical twin sister Teagan, her parents Gayle and Jeff, older sister Ashlee, older brothers Simon and David, and numerous friends and family members who loved her dearly.

Teagan Norrey, now a "Twinless Twin," has shared her heartbreak on social media, expressing the profound loss she feels after Kelly’s unexpected death. Teagan also organized a GoFundMe campaign titled “Kelly Shayne Norrey, Forever 31” to help cover the costs of Kelly’s funeral. Teagan noted how Kelly would have been surprised by the fundraiser but acknowledged that if roles were reversed, Kelly would have done the same for her.

Teagan spoke warmly of her sister, recalling how Kelly had a unique ability to bring joy to those around her. Despite her struggles, which she kept hidden from even those closest to her, Kelly remained a beacon of light, always ready to make someone smile, even if it meant making herself look silly.

Kathryn Grace Louise Coster-Waite, a high school friend, shared her grief on Facebook, writing, "Kelly was a great friend to me in high school, unfortunately, we lost touch over the years but that doesn’t change a thing. Kelly was always so much fun to be around and I’m so shocked and sad to hear of her passing. If anyone is able to help the Norrey family give Kelly the send-off she deserves, I know it will be appreciated by the whole family. Fly high Kelly, rest in peace beautiful."

Another friend, Kathryn Elizabeth Staggard, simply commented, “So sorry,” reflecting the shock and sadness felt by many who knew Kelly.

Teagan’s GoFundMe campaign seeks to raise $5,000 AUD to support her mother, Gayle, who is struggling to come to terms with the loss of her youngest daughter. The funds will go directly to Gayle’s account to help cover the funeral expenses and provide some peace of mind during this incredibly difficult time.

Kelly’s impact on those around her was immense. She leaves behind not just her family, but also Jake and his two children, Amber and Jhedd, whom she loved as her own, as well as her nieces Addison-Rae, Sophie, and Mia, her nephew Klae, and her beloved dog, Biggie. The family has announced that once a funeral date is set, everyone will be informed, and the service will be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Norrey family and all who knew and loved Kelly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this heart-wrenching time.
