Kelly Joyce Caudle Lein

Mrs. Kelly Joyce Caudle Lein, age 51, went home to be with the Lord surrounded by family and
friends on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 after a long illness. A native Charlottean, Kelly was born
February 18, 1968, the daughter of the late James Wayne Caudle and Joyce Caudle Cordell of
Fort Mill, SC. Kelly graduated from South Mecklenburg High School in 1987and was a member
of Alpha Delta Pi sorority at Queens College, where she graduated with a B.A. in History in
1991. She married her husband Jamie Harris Lein on April 27th, 1996.
Kelly was a devoted homemaker who enjoyed playing tennis, reading, card games with her
friends, and planning partings for all those she loved. Spending time at the beach with her family
and watching her boys play golf, football, and rugby were her absolute favorite things to do. She
was fiercely protective of the people she loved, and she was devoted and dedicated to every kid
who crossed her path. She made her home the gathering place for every party, dinner, or
playdate. She welcomed every guest with warmth and made each feel like the most important
person in the world.
Kelly is survived by her sons Christian Brae and Luke Wayne, husband Jamie, mother Joyce and
her husband Lawrence Cordell, uncle Jesse and aunt Sibby Watson and their daughter Wendy,
step-brothers Rick and Larry Cordell and their wives Amy and Lindsey, and many nieces and
nephews. She also had numerous surrogate sons and daughters through friends and football that
she cherished dearly.
All of Kelly's family and friends are welcome to attend a celebration of her life at Firethorne
