Funeral services for Elizabeth Merllean Kelly were held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 14, 2019, at Good Hope Baptist Church with Revs. Gerald Wayne Hood and Huey Haymon officiating. Burial followed in the Pisgah Cemetery under the direction of Jeane's Funeral Service.
Mrs. Kelly was born on April 19, 1943, in Winnsboro, LA and passed away on August 11, 2019, in Anacoco, LA at the age of 76. She graduated from Vidalia High School and lived in Shreveport, LA for many years before making Anacoco her home for more than fifty years. Working at Tidbits and Tackle for almost half of those five decades, Mrs. Kelly was a constant in the community. Ever the competitive spirit, she enjoyed card and board games with family and friends, and in later years stayed connected with them playing online games. She enjoyed many outdoor activities such as deer hunting, water skiing, and riding motorcycles. Rumor has it she wasn’t a bad roller skater back in the day.

Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 57 years, George Elonzo Kelly of Anacoco, LA; daughter, Donna Kelly of Silver Spring, Maryland; brothers, Winston Townsend Jr. of Jigger, LA, Melvin Townsend and wife Mary of Dangerfield, TX, and Harold Townsend and wife Ann of Terry MS; sisters-in-law, Nance McKee-Allen of Slagle, LA, and Cookie Kelly of Anacoco, LA; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
