Dr. Kelly Powers, a renowned surgeon and familiar face on Fox News, passed away on Sunday after a courageous battle with brain cancer. She was only 45 years old.
Described as a brave and compassionate individual who touched the lives of many, Powers was known for her love of people and dedication to helping others. In addition to her successful medical career, she enjoyed a variety of hobbies such as gardening, surfing, ballet, biking, running, horseback riding, and traveling.
A statement in her obituary highlighted her accomplishments as a doctor and surgeon, noting her appearances on television and in magazines. However, her greatest joy came from her family, including her husband, Steven Doll, their young son, Bennett, as well as her parents and in-laws.
Throughout her battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, Powers remained steadfast in raising awareness about the disease. She candidly shared her journey on social media, urging others to join the fight against cancer.
Despite undergoing multiple surgeries, rounds of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, the cancer returned in 2021. To explore alternative treatment options, Powers’ family created a GoFundMe page seeking donations for a new therapy available only in Germany.
Born in Yonkers, New York, Powers pursued her medical education at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and completed residencies at Georgetown and Boston University. As a respected TV commentator, she made regular appearances on Fox News and Fox Business, as well as other networks.
In memory of Powers, her family requested donations to a brain cancer research nonprofit, Stache Strong, in lieu of traditional offerings. Her legacy as a compassionate healer and advocate for cancer awareness will continue to inspire others to fight against this devastating disease.
The world has lost a remarkable individual in Dr. Kelly Powers, but her impact and legacy will live on through the lives she touched and the lessons she imparted. May her courage and compassion serve as a beacon of hope for all those affected by cancer.
