Colleen Kelley
A Celebration of Life
POLSON — Colleen Rhea Kelley was killed in a traffic accident on Sunny Slope north of Polson on October 20, 2022. She was born in Portland, Oregon, on June 12, 1960. Colleen is profoundly mourned by her mother, Mary Kelley, formerly of Polson, and sister, Mary Jean Martin, both of Helena, many nieces and nephews, and dear friends from all times of her life. Her father, Richard H. Kelley of Missoula died five days after her death, and her brother, Robert preceded her in death.
A “Celebration of Life” memorial potluck picnic will be held in Colleen’s honor on June 11, at Boechter Park in Polson from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. A visit to her memorial tree in the park is planned at that time and her ashes will be scattered on her home ground in a private ceremony following. It is hoped that all her friends and acquaintances will join with her family in remembering this “lady with the hat.”
