William (Bill) Kelley (91) passed away peacefully on Jan 26th, 2026, relieved of pain and discomfort as a result of Mesothelioma.

Bill was a soft-spoken man of few words, yet his clever sense of humor and quick wit made him a great match to joke around and “mess” with. 

Bill served in the US Airforce 1954-1957 and held many jobs as a laborer over the course of his work career. He enjoyed spending time at the American Legion and AMVETS club, playing pool and especially golfing, earning himself some pretty impressive trophies. 

Bill is proceeded in death by his wife Patricia Kelley, daughters, Deborah Kelley and Toni (Kelley) Hornbaker and his canine companion and “grand dog” Kala Mae. He is survived by his son Tim (Robin) Kelley, son- in-law Tom Hornbaker as well as his grandchildren. 

Bill would like to thank the Hospice team who’s care he was under since August. He felt safe and special being surrounded by the compassionate and pretty (his words) nurses and staff. Per Bill’s wishes, there will be no service, and cremation has taken place.
