Pauline Kelley

Pam Kelley lived a full life starting on April 6, 1932 as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and artist extraordinaire! She placed her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior some years ago which brought increased peace and comfort in recent years. Her eternal life in Christ’s Presence began on Monday, June 17, 2013 as she took her last breath in her husband, David Kelley’s arms at their home for the last 44 years in Lake Clarke Shores, a residential suburb of West Palm Beach.

She was born in Akron, Ohio, to her Greek immigrant parents Nicholas and Katherine Emmanuel, and then moved to West Palm Beach with her husband, H. David Kelley and three daughters: Kitty (Willis), Kim (Kerr) and Dana (Rogers) in 1969. Pam inspired many through her professional career as teacher and artist, both in her public gallery: Panayiota Limited and private studio. She participated in numerous indoor-outdoor artist shows as well as having one-woman exhibit shows exclusively with her artwork including the following locations:

She is survived by her husband, H. David (Dave) Kelley, Jr., three daughters: Kitty Willis (Jay), Kim Kerr, Dana Rogers (Art), twelve grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren who look forward to seeing her again one day in glory!
