ELAINE KELLEY
BOARDMAN - Elaine Kelley, 90, passed away peacefully at Assumption Village on Wednesday.
She was born in Youngstown and spent her entire life here.
Elaine spent her finals hours surrounded by family, with her daughter, Virginia "Ginny" Pichette Dr. David and her sons, Tom Carol from Youngstown and Terry of Virginia Beach, Va.
Elaine was a graduate of The Rayen School and was married to George E. Kelley, who passed away in 1984.
She was a member of St. Charles Church and was active with the Angels of the Easter Seals.
She is survived by her brother, Tom Mary Scanlon of Poland; and a sister, Judy Leonard Penzo of Banning, Calif.
She was preceded in death by her brothers, James and Jack Scanlon; and her sisters, Laverne Schneider, Phyliis Stenger, Marie Andrews, Joretta Lindsay and Betty Jo Anderson.
Her grandchildren, John of Las Vegas, Michael of Columbus, Patrick and Tim Pichette Erin, Jamie, Dr. Michael Amanda and their son, Nathan of Tallmadge, Patrick and Kaitlin Kelley, as well as Colin Kelley of Virginia Beach, will miss their grandmother.
She was a homemaker for many years and later in her life, she loved seeing and talking to people on the jobs. She worked at Ino's Women's Wear, Edie's Bridal Boutique and Signature Collection.
She will long be remembered as being very active in her children's and grandchildren's lives. Her yard and gardens were labors of love that she meticulously kept as well as her outdoor porch, where she enjoyed summer breezes and the company of family and neighbors.
Elaine's final days were spent at Assumption Village, where she loved the staff that took care of her and made her feel as if she was home and always among friends and family.
The family would like to thank the staff of Assumption Village Special Care Unit, Dr. Robert Spratt and Grace Hospice for the amazing care and consideration they showed their mother in her final years.
Elaine will be remembered during calling hours Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at St. Charles Church on Boardman-Canfield Road, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at noon at the church.
Friends are asked to consider a donation to The Easter Seal Angels, 299 Edwards St., Youngstown, OH 44502 or to the Ron Stoops and Anthony Pelini Foundation, c/o Cardinal Mooney High School, 2545 Erie St., Youngstown, OH 44507, in lieu of flowers.
Interment will bring Elaine and George together again at Calvary Cemetery.
