We met Mrs. Kelley and her husband in 1975 at Central Baptist Church, where they were visiting son, Russ, and family. We were immediately drawn to her by her peaceful attitude and obvious love for her family. She was an encourager to everyone, especially young mothers. Even when it was obvious her husband was fading fast, she took time to encourage our children, Karen and Chip as she came and went to dialysis where they shared some shifts with Mr. Kelley. A devoted wife and mother, she quietly went about doing good things for those around her. She loved her sons, their wives and her grandchildren. How do we know? She shared positive things about them, she displayed their pictures and she spent time with them when she could. Because we so often put our own pressures above others, we did not spend as much time with this fine Christian lady as we should have in recent years. For this we are sad. For the many positive things in our memories, we are forever happy! God bless you Russ and Ron and your families.
