Mr. Kelly was born on July 25, 1932, to the late Charles Clovis Kelly and Eva Mae Cofer Kelly.

His memory will forever be treasured by his adoring wife of 65 years, June Bray Kelly of Athens; daughter, Sheri Kelly Blair (Rusty) of Athens; grandchildren, Scott Blair (Amanda) of Athens; Kelly Etchells (Chris) of Chattanooga, Tennessee; and great-grandchildren, Cade, Abigail, and Luke.
