WOOSTER – Marvin J. Jim Kelley, 79, of Wooster, passed away Sunday, April 23, 2017 at LifeCare Hospice in Wooster following a short illness.
He was born October 3, 1937 in New Milton, West Virginia, the son of George and Goldie Blake Kelley.  He married Mary Haught on October 12, 1956.  She survives.
He had worked for Diebold, Crown Steel and retired from Volvo as a die setter in 1999 after 27 years.  Marvin was a member of the Faith Baptist Church in Wilmot.  He loved taking care of Mary, his wife, and spending time with the grandchildren and working in his yard.  He loved guns and was a member of the NRA, motorcycles, cars, tractors, boats and his dog, Rex.  There was not much he didn’t know about all of them.  He did his own work on just about everything.
