October 11, 2024 Marjorie Mary Kelly, 92, of Hilo HI, a retired teacher from Guam, died peacefully at Hospice of Kona.
She was born in Massachusetts, raised by teachers in Florida, Michigan, and then returned to Massachusetts. After attending Simmons College and obtaining her Masters from Boston University, she fled New England snows for warmer climates, never to return. Always outgoing, remembered by all who met her, and never lacking a sense of humor even in the darkest of hours, she will be sorely missed.
She is survived by sons, David and Kent S.; sister Elizabeth "Betty" Byers; two grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, Oct 22nd in Homelani Memorial Park, 388 Ponahawai St., Hilo. Casual attire. In lieu of flowers or monetary offerings, donations suggested to Hilo United Community Church, Hospice of Kona, or simply vote blue at the ballot box.
