Mary KELLEY Obituary

KELLEY, Mary Marlene Age 84, of West Carrollton, went home to celebrate with Jesus on Wednesday, August 12, 2020, at 3:33 am. Mary was born in Radnor, Ohio, on March 22, 1936, to the late Paul & Florence (Penhorwood) Taylor. In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Edwin Kelley. She is survived by her brother, Paul (Becky) Taylor; daughters, Florence (Mike) Kelley and Renee (James) Maye; grandchildren, Roberta (Tony) Cashman, Charlene Jenkins, Mike (Tiffany) Maye, Ronnie (Stacy) Maye, Christopher (Cassie) Maye and Jonathan (Misty) Maye; 14 great-grandchildren; nephew, Kevin (Peggy) Taylor; niece, Aimee (David) Deets; and numerous cousins, church family and friends. Mary was devoted to her Lord and Savior for her entire life. Aside from her faith, her family was the center of her world. Mary touched the lives of so many people with her service to her church and her community. One of her main passions in life, was that all kids knew that they were loved by her and God. She was the testimony of true love. The family will receive friends on Sunday, August 16, 2020, from 2-4 pm at the West Carrollton Church of the Nazarene, 550 S Elm St, West Carrollton, OH 45449. We will meet at the church on Monday, August 17, 2020, at 12 pm to go in procession to Miami Valley Memory Gardens for a graveside service at 1 pm.

Mary was a loving, caring lady. We worked together at the Reynolds Education Center in Dayton. She loved her job and her students loved her. She was the epitome of grace. Her upbeat personality was uplifting to all regardless of the circumstances of the day. We all loved Mary. Rest In Peace, Mary

I met Mary in 4th grade as a student at the elementary school she worked at. She was always so kind and sweet to everyone. I never saw this amazing woman have a bad day and never did she show it if so, she wore a smile through and through. I’d catch up with her whenever I ran into her at a store or just around town. Heaven gained a phenomenal angel

I had The honor and pleasure of knowing Mary when we worked at Reynolds together. She was such a beautiful lady and had such a wonderful smile. I haven’t seen her in 30+ years but I remember spending time with her like it was yesterday. She left such a great impression on everyone!!!

I am so sad to see this. I worked with Mary at Reynolds and Reynolds very early in my working career. I have never worked with anyone who was as kind and positive as she was. She truly was a joy to work with. My prayers and wishes of peace for her family.

Mary was so friendly. She was always at Canterbury Court to visit & help her parents when they lived there. Will miss her smiling face when we go to vote. Sleep well Mary now that you are Home with our Father.
