Coquille Valley Sentinel - 12/1/2009
Dr. Thomas E. Kelly May 10, 1925 – November 22, 2009 

A memorial Mass will be celebrated for Dr. Thomas Edward Kelly, 84, of 
Coquille, at 9 a.m., Tuesday December 8th at the Baycrest Village chapel 
(formerly St. Catherine’s) 3959 Sheridan Ave., North Bend. Father Karl Schray 
will officiate. Burial has been held at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos 
Bay. Tom was born May 10, 1925 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Edward Ernest and 
Mary S. (McGovern) Kelly.
 He died November 22, 2009 in Coos Bay. He served honorably in World War II, 
receiving the Purple Heart. He married Ruth Otley July 19, 1958 
and maintained a chiropractic office in Coquille until his retirement. Ruth 
died in October 1998. He especially enjoyed time at the coast with Ruth, and 
they hosted many convivial gatherings in their home. Tom was an avid gardener, 
and his perfectly landscaped Coquille home attested to that. He 
enjoyed hunting pheasants in his younger years and was an accomplished wood 
carver.
 He was a parishioner of Holy Name Catholic Church in Coquille and an active 
member of the Coquille Lions Club and the Coquille Valley Elks 
Lodge # 1935. He was also involved with the scouting program in his earlier 
years. He is survived by his brother Edward (Gene) Kelly and family of 
Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota and long-time family friend Kent Brandon of 
Prineville. Arrangements are under the direction of AmIing/Schroeder 
Funeral Service – Coquille Chapel, 396-3846.
