Minnie Dollie Kelley, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and mentor to many, departed this life on May 30, 2007, at the age of 83 years. She was born February 11, 1924, in McAlester, OK, to Walter and Finnetta Tyler. Minnie married John Kelley on February 3, 1943 in McAlester, OK. She was always happy, smiling, and had a listening ear for anyone that needed help. She had many hobbies: an avid basketball player, homeroom mother, band parent, and a fantastic seamstress. She loved flowers and her garden and was active in Home Demonstration Club, OCWA, camping, and various other activities. Most of all, she loved working with children in Bible classes, Friday school, and at any other thing she was asked to do at the Del City Church of Christ where she was a member for over fifty years. She was employed for many years as a bookkeeper and payroll clerk with General Tool and Supply in Oklahoma City.
