Our beloved mother, Betty Jean Kelly, passed away on Friday, September 3, 2010, after a long battle with Wegener's Disease. She was born in West Union, IA on February 1, 1950, to George Elmer Kelly and Wilhemenia "Minnie" Ella Ohmann. She was a devoted housewife for many years, and helped take care of family and friend's children as well. She eventually decided to go back to college to get her AA degree and graduated in June of 2003, from Wenatchee Valley College. She then worked as a legal secretary for many years and devoted her life to family, friends and her animals. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend to all, and she will be greatly missed.

She is survived by four children and one daughter-in-law, Virginia Johnson of East Wenatchee, Jerry Scott Jr., David Scott and Alan and Michelle Scott, all of Wenatchee. She is also survived by three sisters, one brother-in-law, three brothers and two sisters-in-law, Ruth Bartlett of Freemont, NE, Karen Homewood of Sumner, IA, Larry and Linda Sigbornson of Omaha, NE, Robert and Vicky Kelly of Decorah, IA and Donald and Becky Kelly and George Kelly Jr., all of Hawkeye, IA.
