Kelly Ann Back

Kelly Ann Back, age 61, of Oxford, New Jersey, took the hand of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at St. Luke’s Hospital - Anderson Campus in Easton, PA with her devoted husband by her side.  

Born on September 22, 1964, in Flemington, New Jersey, Kelly was the beloved daughter of the late Albert Brown and Agnes Hoffman Brown. She spent her childhood in Lebanon Twp., NJ and was a graduate of Voorhees High School in 1982 where she practiced cosmetology.  She moved to Oxford in 1990 where she built a life for her and her family.

Kelly was currently working as an Operations Manager for R&L Data Centers in Bloomsbury, NJ where she was known for her dedication, loyalty and immense knowledge of the business.

Her faith was the cornerstone of her life and was reflected in her many years of devoted service at Oxford Colonial United Methodist Church in Oxford, NJ. An active and faithful member of the congregation, she dedicated more than 30 years bringing children to God by teaching Sunday School, sharing her love of Jesus with generations of children through her kindness, wisdom, and gentle guidance. She also found great joy in creating beautiful ceramic pieces, expressing her creativity through a hobby she cherished. Above all, her greatest happiness came from spending time with her family, especially her beloved triple G(Gammys good girl!) and her Boogie boy who brought immeasurable joy and pride to her life. Her unwavering faith, loving heart, and generous spirit will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Kenneth Back, whom she married in September of 1991 and has been with since they were teenagers. Two sons; Corey Andrew Back and his wife Desirae of Harmony Twp., NJ and Kyle Kenneth Back and his wife Amanda of Alpha, NJ.  Two beloved grandchildren who meant the world to her; Julia Back and Thomas Back.  She is also survived by her sister; Susan Merrill of Oxford, NJ.  Several nieces and nephews.  She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who have been blessed to have had her apart of their lives.

In addition to her parents she was predeceased by her sister Barbara Back as well as her brother-in-law; Norman Merrill.  

Calling hours will take place on Monday, July 13, 2026 from 9am – 11am with funeral service at 11am, all at Scarponi-Bright Funeral Home, 26 Main Street, Lebanon, NJ. Interment will follow at Lower Valley Cemetery in Califon, New Jersey.
