Edmond Lee Kelley

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Edmond Lee Kelley. He peacefully left this world at the Clement J Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, WI on December 10th, 2025, gaining an eternal life of true peace and joy with Jesus. Born on February 24, 1943, in Kenosha, WI, Edmond, affectionately known as Ed, or Eddie to his mom, was a vibrant individual who loved his wife and family with all his heart. He was the cherished son of Normalee Grace Kelley.

Edmond served in the United States Army, achieving an E5 status. During his military career, Ed served as a chaplain's assistant in France. Following his military service, Ed built an enduring legacy during his career at Quad/Graphics, where he spent over 35 years as a mentor, teacher, and friend to many. Throughout his life, Ed worked diligently and supported those
around him.
Edmond made a decision that, by God’s grace, bestowed upon him eternal life: he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Ed took the Lord’s teachings and blessings to heart; despite incredible physical difficulty, Ed had a heart for prayer. Never did he cease asking for and giving prayer for those around him. Even so, when he had time and the strength, he studied the words and
teachings of the Bible with his family members. While the Scriptures offer a myriad of principles, one stands above all others: Love. Ed, like a beacon, radiated an unmistakable, genuine love. Love for His Lord, his family, his friends and all who had the distinct pleasure of meeting him during his time on Earth.

Edmond was the devoted husband of Donna Kelley, and beloved father of Brian (Tricia) Kelley, Tim Kelley, and Jeannette Kelley. He also leaves behind two grandchildren and their spouses: Marissa (Brett) Falck and Mason (Lindsey) Kelley. As the only child of Normalee Grace, Ed was also one of the last surviving cousins he grew up with. He leaves behind several other relatives and close friends.

As we reflect on his life, we remember Ed for his protection, guidance, love, and laughter, as well as his captivating stories that never failed to make us laugh. The funeral services to honor and celebrate his life will be held on Saturday, January 17th at Integrity Celebration Center:  The visitation will be from 10:00am - 12:00pm, followed by a service from 12:00 - 1:00 pm.
