Mary Marlene Kelley, 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.
