Paul Kelley, 81, of Avon Park, Florida, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2026.
Paul was born in Darby, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Upper Darby High School. He went on to work as a dedicated plant manager for 42 years before retiring and moving to Avon Park with his beloved wife, Winifred.
Paul was a hardworking man who always had a constant smile on his face. He loved being with his family and spending time together. The greatest joy of his life was his children and grandchildren. He was a provider, a protector, and a good man who always put others before himself.
He enjoyed playing golf and making memories with his good buddies. He especially loved golf cart rides with his best friend, Cody. Paul also enjoyed traveling, with Hilton Head and Aruba among his favorite places.
He built a life rooted in love, and that love will carry on forever.
Paul is survived by his wife of 61 years, Winifred; his loving dog, Cody; his three children, Beth Ann Kelley, Kimberly (Todd) Kirk, and Paul (Jen) Kelley; and his five cherished grandchildren, Samantha Jo Kirk, Benjamin Kirk, Kierstyn Kirk, Evelyn Kelley, and Merida Kelley.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Elma Kelley, and his two older brothers, Tommy and David Kelley.
