Ella P. Kelley

I was born April 24, 1947 to Elias Spencer Peterson and Hazel Hadley Peterson at Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah. I lived in Taylor most of my life. The hardest part of my childhood was when my father went on his first mission when I was 4 years old, and then again when I was 6 years old. I missed him so much. The saddest time was when Grandma and Grandpa Hadley died so unexpectedly in a car accident.
I was married May 1, 1970 in the Salt Lake Temple to Terry Andrew Kelley. We had 4 children, Melissa Kelley, Sean Kelley, Scott Kelley and Melanie Kelley. We were also blessed with 4 grandchildren, Hailey Kelley, David Kelley, Ashley Burton, Braxtyn Clark and 3 great-grandchildren, Emma Jensen, Aleksander Jensen and Elowyn Kelley. I was preceded in death by: my husband Terry, my daughter Melanie Kelley, and my parents.
I enjoyed working with Scouting programs and special needs scouting programs. Going to Wood Badge training was a spiritual experience even though it was very physically challenging. Going to the Temple was peaceful and spiritual to me. I enjoyed reading and crafts. I received my Practical Nurse Degree.
