He went to be with the Lord peacefully, while he was sleeping at his place of residence for the past 5 years, the Havelock Manor in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was born June 17, 1926 in rural Nelson at the family farmstead. He was the third of four children born to Eric and Minnie (Schiermeyer) Schleif. On June 10, 1954 he married the love of his life, Betty Jo Peery. Kelly attended Abdal School through 8th grade. Although he liked school, he was needed to help out on the family farm, thus ending his formal education. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict. He received an honorable discharge and returned home to Nelson where he drove a truck for Kowger Industries as well as helped his brother, Francis, with Francis’ electrical business. Following that, he worked for the city of Nelson for 35 years as the Superintendent of Utilities. After retirement he worked part-time at the city compactor until his health forced him to retire for the second time. Throughout his life, Kelly was actively involved in youth activities. If you needed an umpire for a baseball game, needed the field dragged beforehand, or the lights fixed, he was your man! He never said no. He was never too busy. He was a 50-year member of the Volunteer Fire Department, 20-year member of the EMT’s, 22-gallon blood donor and always a willing volunteer, which in a small town kept him quite busy. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and all things involving his grandkids.
