Dororthy "Sue" Kelley

Dorothy "Sue" Kelley was born at home in Lakeside, Mo. on July 7, 1939 and left for her heavenly home on Dec. 23, 2015. She was born to Eltinge Luke and Leona Sybeal Tarrant Burris. Her parents named her well. Dorothy means Gift of God and Sue means graceful lily. Her devotion to God and the grace in which she lived her life are unquestionable. We are not talking about some passive, sideline person of faith. She lived her life with passion, full of charm and beauty. Her idealism was forceful, but always tempered with gentle kindness and tender support of others. She taught us how to always do our best, stand up for ourselves, to have one another's backs, and somehow still hold all those around us in love. She was devoted to her children, and her children included those she worked with and those lucky enough to come within the circle of those she helped. She filled our lives with light, love and laughter that we will share for years to come. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Kelley; granddaughter, Caitlin Kelley Fuchs; her brother, Charles Burris and sister, Patricia Briebiesca. She is survived by her sons: Martin, Jeff (Tracie), and Kyle Kelley; daughters, Kim and Kristina Kelley (Eddy Rodriguez); grandchildren: Ryan (Katie), Jena´, Carter, Alec, Alex, Jacob, Keaton, Kelsey, Amelia, A'livia, and Jared Kelley, Courtney Adams, Casi Fuchs, and Janssen (Megan) and Madison Wiedower; great-grandchildren: Benjamin Fuchs, Ethan Riggs, Brayden and Aubree Adams, and Kason Holmes; siblings: Louise Stapleton (Gene), Robert Burris (Betty), Richard Burris (Annie), Buddy Burris (Joyce), Sandi Zimmerman (Don), and Timothy Burris; and many wonderful nieces, nephews, and friends. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 28 at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway with entombment following at Crestlawn Memorial Park Mausoleum.
