Ronald Marcel Kelley

Ronald Marcel Kelley, 65, of Manchester passed away at home on May 3, 2021 with his loving wife of 45 years by his side.

Ronald was born on November 1, 1955 to Jeannine (Chapdelaine) Kelley and the late Robert E. Kelley. He was raised in Litchfield, NH and graduated Manchester Memorial High School in 1973 as a member of the National Honor Society.

In 1976, Ronald married the love of his life, Sheila Lee (Lavigne) Kelley after a brief courtship. They were blessed with a daughter, Sharon (Seth) Zeigler and a son, Patrick (Sandra) Kelley and two amazing grandkids, Ethan and Sadie.

Ronald was a hardworking family man whose heart was bigger than he let on. Throughout the years he opened his home to a few people that needed a safe place, and cared for each of them as if they were his own.

Ronald was employed as a route driver for Canteen and Occasions before starting his own vending company. He owned Kelley Refreshment Services for 27 years, retiring in 2019.

In his free time Ronald enjoyed picnicking with his wife at their favorite spot along the Kanc, standing on the sidelines cheering on his grandkids at their sporting events, and showering his grand dogs with love and an excessive amount of treats.

His loving family and friends will miss his grumbling nature, devotion, and dry sense of humor.

Services: A private celebration of life picnic will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution can be made to the Goffstown Junior Grizzlies football program https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5WW43DYXUHXHC&source=url
