When we were in Magnolia Park, Jay and Joyce Kelly were our RV neighbors for several winters. We enjoyed their company very much. I have received word of Jay's passing. Thank You, Deon, for the information. Barb B.
Here is a bit more about Jay.
Jay Kelly of Atkinson Nebraska passed on Thursday, October 8 after contracting the Corona Virus. He and his family thought he was out of the woods but as is so often the case, he ended up with pneumonia. Jay is survived by his wife Joyce, one son Jeffery Kelly and his wife Kathleen, and one sister Rose Kelly. Memorial services will be at a later date.
Jay was a wonderful musician who played a "mean fiddle" as well as being an outstanding guitar player. He was well known in the Rio Grande Valley and in the last few years, he had his own bluegrass band which one of the pictures below shows. He and his band raised money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Jay and his musical talents will be missed by all who knew him but not just for his music but because he was a good and decent man, always willing to share his knowledge and never too busy to answer questions.
These are some pictures that I have taken of Jay over the years while in Magnolia Park.
