James Patrick “Jim” Kelly
1932-2017
James “Jim” Patrick Kelly, 84 of the R.K
Nursing home, formerly of Glencoe, Guysborough County passed away
Monday, February 13, 2017 at the R.K.Nursing Home in Antigonish
surrounded by family.
Raised as a devout Catholic Christian and son of late Clara
Kelly of Glencoe, Jim was a hardworking man who began farming as a
child to help provide for his family. As an adult he left Glencoe and
moved to Antigonish where he worked. He then married Sarah
(MacEachern) Kelly in June 1960 and moved back to his home in Glencoe
and with her had 15 children, but sadly lost one in
infancy.
Jim worked in forestry, with the Department of
Transportation, Christmas trees and at the Belmont Resort, as well as
working steady with farming at home to keep his family fed, planting
potatoes, milking cattle and raising livestock to provide for his ever
growing family; always putting in long days of back breaking labour
and keeping his worries mostly to himself and doing the best he could
to be the best he could with all the responsibilities of being a
father to so many.
Besides his mother, Jim was predeceased by his sons John,
Gregory and Eddie, granddaughter, and great granddaughter. Jim is
survived by his wife Sarah (MacEachern) Kelly, his children; Donalda,
Francis (Pearl), George (Kim), Mary (Lee), Irene (James), Clara
(Gordon), Billy (Karen), Michael, Douglas, Bridget, Sarah (Shawn) and
Clarence (Jennifer), his brother John “Bud” Kelly,
many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jim is well known for his infectious sense of humour and
contagious smile. He loved great conversation and always stopped to
speak with everyone he knew. He will forever leave a void in the
hearts he has touched.
