Hasting's Reminder - Saturday May 30, 2026

DOROTHY JEAN KELLEY, born February 14, 1936 in Alvon, WV, was the beloved 
daughter of Jean & Jennie (Roberts) Kelley. She graduated from Woodland high 
school with the Class of 1953.

Dorothy began her working life at Hastings Manufacturing from 1953-54 before 
moving to Washington D.C., where she worked for the U.S. Navy from 1954-1956. 
Her career later took her to California, where she was employed by Man Factors, 
Inc. in San Diego from 1969-1980, McWhinnie Supply Company from 1980-1982, and 
the City Attorney's Office of San Diego from 1982 until her retirement in 1998.

Dorothy was gifted with a warm, creative spirit. She loved cooking and baking, 
and she found joy in knitting and crocheting baby afghans, many of which she 
lovingly donated to Pennock Hospital, where she was a member of Guild 15.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, June Durkee, and her 
brother-in-law, Charles Heise.

Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Barbara Mays; grandchildren. Ashley and 
Jonathan; sisters, Joyce Heise and Janice Cook; and several nieces and nephews, 
and great-nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Barry County 
Animal Shelter.

Private burial will take place at Woodland Memorial Park.
