Bobbye O'Kelley

Bobbye Ceil O'Kelley of Covington passed away Thursday, October 15, 2015, at the age of 85. She was married to the love of her life Ruben for 64 years. Mrs. O'Kelley retired from Oxford Manufacturing Company, where she was a supervisor for 22 years. She was a long-time member of the Hospital Auxiliary, and in her early years, she enjoyed clogging with a local group. She always had a smile on her face and delighted in making others laugh. She liked reading and doing word search puzzles. Mrs. O'Kelley cherished the time spent with her family, especially her much-doted-on grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ruben O'Kelley, and parents, J.W. and Lucy Rogers.

 

Survivors include her daughters, Theresa O'Kelley of Covington, Karen O'Kelley of Conyers and Jill Knight of Covington; grandchildren, Jacob Knight, Kelli Knight both of Conyers; sister, Betty Philippus of Covington; as well as several nieces and nephews.

 

A Graveside Service for Mrs. O'Kelley will be held Saturday, October 17, 2015, at 1:00 PM, at Lawnwood Memorial Park, 1111 Access Road, in Covington.
