Thomas Francis Kelly

Mary Beth and Family, I for one will never forget Thomas Kelly. He was always there when I needed a friend, through some very difficult times in my life. The gift of Theater is something I will always treasure. He will truely be missed. You and your family will be in our prayers. Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. Psalm 61:5 Look to the lord for strength and he will carry you through.

To the Kelly family--Tom was an inspiration to me & gave me the confidence I needed to speak up. I'll never forget him. Please accept my sympathy & prayers.

In Florida right now, so just saw your loss. Mary Beth, Tom was one of the finest people I know. He will be missed by more than you can imagine. He had two of my children as students. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children.

Dear Kelly family~

My condolences go out to you. You know what a great man he was, but he was a great teacher. I had him for quite a few classes.

God bless you.

Mary Beth and Family,



My mother informed of Tom's death and I wanted to express my sympathy to all of you. I will miss his smiling face in the community. May God continue to bless each one of you.

The people involved in theatre and speech education in our state share in your grief. Tom was always so upbeat and positive in dealing with young people. My thoughts and prayers are with those who shared his life daily, weekly, or periodically. We will miss Tom.

I was in an Aberdeen Community Theater production that Tom directed and Mary Beth was the music director. What energy and character that Mr. Kelly posessed!!! It was my pleasure to be under his direction. I was very saddened to read about your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a warm, talented man. I have wonderful memories of being in productions he directed and learning in his Drama class. His guidance and encouragement made a great impact on me.

Tom Kelly started out as a teacher and mentor for me. He ended up being a good friend and will always hold a special place in my heart. May god bless his family. I'll miss you Tom.

Mary Beth and family,

Our hearts are hurting for you all. Please remember the good Lord only gives us what we can handle. You are a terrific lady and you will handle this horrific loss well, I have no doubt. Wish we could do more than just send words of encouragement. Always, Wanda & Gordon

Mary Beth, Rose & Kevin,



I am so saddened by your loss. Tom played such an important role in my daughter's love of theater and in her education. I so enjoyed working with all of your family in ACT productions. Please find strength knowing all the positive things Tom did in his life because of his genuine caring for kids and their education. Blessings to you!

I am so very sorry about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr. Kelly displayed a passion for both education, arts and students. I still remember his drama class 26 years ago. The man had energy and a true love of teaching. I will never forget his endless pleas to his "low talking" actors to PROJECT. Aberdeen Central will never be able to replace this man.
