Arlene Gail Kelley

Arlene Gail Kelley, 94, formerly of Dilliner, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2026, at Uniontown Hospital in Uniontown, PA. She was born on March 8, 1931, in Fairchance, PA, the eldest daughter of the late Edward G. Moser and Ethel (Cunningham) Moser. Arlene was a 1948 graduate of Fairchance High School. During her senior year, she worked Saturdays at the White Front Market in Fairchance, her only employment outside the home before dedicating her life to being a devoted wife and mother. On June 27, 1948, she married Patrick F. Kelley Sr. Arlene was a loving and dedicated mother to her four children: Kathy (Brian) Kittel of Jacksonville, Florida; Patrick F. Kelley Jr. of St. Clairsville, Ohio; the late Mark A. Kelley; and Paulette D. Lucyk of Bridgeport, West Virginia. She was a proud grandmother to six grandchildren: Kelly (Ronnie) Gaskins, the late Erica Wilkes, Patrick (Heather) Kelley III, Michael (Rebecca) Kelley, Victoria Sarff, and Jennifer Kittel. She was also a cherished great-grandmother to seven great-grandchildren: Kyndra, Ian, Dylan, Daisy, Kai, Jon, and Donovan. In addition to her parents, Arlene was preceded in death by her sister, Evelyn Suder; her brother, Donald Moser; her husband, Patrick F. Kelley Sr.; her son, Mark Kelley; her granddaughter, Erica Wilkes; and her son-in-law, Michael Lucyk. Arlene was a quiet and gentle soul who always tried to get along with everyone she met. A devout Christian, she shared many happy times with her fellow church members at the Greensboro Presbyterian Church, where she deeply valued friendship and fellowship. Arlene had a zest for life and many interests. She loved to travel and especially enjoyed taking bus trips with friends. In her quieter moments, she could often be found working crossword puzzles or reading detective stories, with "Murder, She Wrote" being her favorite television show. She also loved to bake and was well known at church for her delicious apple pies and chocolate chip cookies — and her fantasy fudge was simply the best. Arlene will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her. Friends will be received in the Richard R. Herod Funeral Home, Point Marion, on Tuesday, February 10th, from 11 AM to 1 PM. Funeral services will begin at 1:00 PM, with Rev. Larry Douglas officiating. Private interment in Maple Grove Cemetery, Fairchance.
