Patricia Brogden Kelley

Patricia Ann Kelley, born in 1942 in Ozark, Alabama, passed away on December 15, 2025. She was the youngest of four children born to Brady and Comer Lou Brogden.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Raymond Kelley; her parents; and her sisters, Lillian Brogden, Mildred Hawkins and Rachel Carroll.

She is survived by her children, Belenda Gordon, Tammy Maes (Joey), Jeremy Kelley, and Justin Kelley; her grandchildren, Kelley Hutto (Kristie), Taft Gordon, Christopher Woodham, Taylor Gilpin (Daniel), Drew Kelley, Jackson Kelley, Madison Kelley, Cody Kelley, Hampton Kelley, and Emma Kelley; and her great-grandchildren, Seth Scheurer, Dean Hutto, and Nolan Gilpin.

For nearly 30 years, she faithfully served as secretary of Southside Baptist Church. In addition to her administrative work, she found great joy in serving in the nursery and teaching the two-year-old Sunday School Class.

She was a fiercely devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished friend. She was endlessly and equally concerned about the state of her flower beds and quality of her cooking, both reflected the care and pride she poured into everything she did. A true and treasured Southern lady, she possessed an effortless charm, a sharp wit, an enviable sense of humor, and an unwavering commitment to her family, her church, and her community.

Her legacy is one of faithfulness, love, and service, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her

A celebration of Patricia’s life will be held on Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at 2pm at Southside Baptist Church in Ozark, AL with Pastor Raymond Moncriefe officiating. The family will receive friends an hour prior to the service.
