Kellene Lilly

Born July 18th, 1946, in Beckley, WV, she was the daughter of the late Virginia Elizabeth Pack-Richmond and Forrest Kelly Richmond and wife of the late Ora Lafon Lilly—with whom she shared 49 years of marriage.

Kellene enjoyed being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. In addition to being a homemaker, she worked at the Raleigh County National Bank, and spent time working in Embee’s dress shop. She attended Grandview Christian Church and spent her free time traveling, shopping, and playing cards. Above all of her hobbies, she enjoyed time spent with friends and family most of all.

In addition to her parents and her late husband, she was preceded in death by a brother, Barry Richmond.

Those left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Krista Lilly, and Kara Marsh (Alan); grandchildren Darienne Lilly, Ethan Marsh, and Jocelyn Marsh; a great-grandson Sutton Lowe; a brother Ronald Richmond; as well as many extended family members and friends.
