Sadly, George Edward Kelly, 75, passed away on April 30, 2023, after a long illness.
George was born in Manhattan, NY on July 7, 1947, to Mary (Corcoran) and Edwin Kelly.
George (AKA prison guard Kelly) began his career as a New York State Correction Officer in 1971 at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Ossining, New York, where he met his future wife, secretary, Laura Matranga. He retired from Sullivan Correctional Facility, Fallsburg, NY in 1997.
After retirement, George and Laura relocated South, where they settled in beautiful Sebastian, Florida.
George had the gift of gab, which earned him many friends throughout his life. It has also been said that George was a mentor to many.
George will be greatly missed.
He was preceded in death by both of his parents; his sister, Irene MacNamara, and brother, Edwin Kelly.
He is survived by his wife, Laura Kelly; life long friend, Austin MacNamara; nieces, Kerry MacNamara, Laura MacNamara, Erin MacNamara, Tara (Kelvin) MacNamara; cousin-in-law, Barbara Jean Traina; sisters-in-law, Susan (John) Eremita, Debra (Tony) Robinson, Traci Matranga, Dayna Matranga; brothers-in-law, Tony Matranga, Marc Matranga, and many great nephews and great nieces.
