Thomas Raymond Kelly, 85, a resident of Saint Peters, Missouri, formerly of Florissant MO, and a cherished member of Sacred Heart Parish, peacefully departed on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
Thomas was a dedicated Supervisor at MEMC, but his true joy in life came from his family. He was married to his beloved wife, Markalee Kelly, for 62 years. Thomas was a devoted father to his children, Peter Kelly, Brooks (Tanya) Kelly, Angelique (Jeffrey) Horton, and Shannon (Jonathan) Tihen. He took immense pride in his children, always present with unwavering support and encouragement.

Thomas is survived by his loving wife, Markalee Kelly; his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Dicie Eldena Kelly; his father, William Kelly; and daughter-in-law, Sherry Kelly.
