Garnett V. Kelley, 85, of Bridgeport, passed away Monday afternoon, June 1, 2009.  She was born in Sissonville on June 27, 1923, a daughter of the late Robert A. and Marcenia Davis Jones. 

She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, David E. Kelley, on April 1, 2000. 

She is survived by two daughters, Diania D. Kelley, Bridgeport; and Dreama  R. Kelley-Linsbeck, Bridgeport; four grandchildren, Michael Linsbeck; Michele Linsbeck-Lalanas, David Linsbeck, and Diania Linsbeck Sutton; 3 great-grandchildren, Blade, Gregory and Makayla; a sister, Maggie Whittaker; a sister-in-law, Ernestine Jones; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by 5 brothers and a sister.

Garnett retired from Stone & Thomas in Charleston and moved to Bridgeport in 1996.  She felt her greatest accomplishments in her life were those that came from being a wife and mother, and all the love shared at family gatherings.  She enjoyed music, sewing, crafts, gardening, and cooking. 

Friends will be received at Burnside Funeral Home, 607 S. Virginia Avenue, Bridgeport, on Saturday, June 6, 2009, from 12 Noon – 1pm, where services will be held at 1 pm with Pastor Bill Stutler presiding.  Interment will follow in Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.

Dreama & Diane--I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing.  I have now lost both of my parents and it leaves a void in your heart that can never be filled again.   I often find myself thinking about the good ole days when we lived at South Ruffner.  I miss the innocent time and would give up all this crazy tech. to go back to those days. Nancy Stephens and I was just talking about you not long ago. We wondered what ever happened to you.  If we didn't have these wonderful memories to look back on it would be so sad.  I remember your mother so well-she was a beautiful lady inside and out. If you ever get the chance call me at                                        Love and Prayers       Linda (Cecil) Young
