Carolyn A. Kelley, of Flood Avenue, Wiscasset, passed away on October 12, 2025. She had resided at Round Pond Green Assisted Living Facility since August 2024.

She was born in Machias on April 28, 1940 to Clarence and Shirley (Wilcox) Randall. She grew up in Cutler and attended Washington Academy, graduating in 1958. In April of 1962, she married Richard “Dick” Kelley. They were married for 28 years until his untimely death in 1990.

She worked as a homemaker during the time her children were growing up and was a wonderful cook providing many great meals for her family. After moving to the mid-coast area in 1983, she ran a home daycare for 12 years. She was proud to say she had over 100 different kids during that time. She enjoyed caring for the kids, which included her grandchildren. She was also a member of the Woolwich-Wiscasset Baptist Church for numerous years.

She was predeceased by her husband, her parents, her sister Sarah Dill, and a special grandson Michael Richard McKay.

She is survived by her two daughters, Rhonda (Roger) of Duncan, SC and Jennifer (Michael) of Edgecomb, three grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. She’s also survived by three sisters, Charlotte Wright and Bonnie Dorr of Delray Beach, FL, and Lois Holmes of Cutler.

The family wishes to thank Round Pond Green for the wonderful care provided to her during her time there. We greatly appreciate all you did to make her stay comfortable.

A family graveside will be held at a later date in Jacksonville, Maine.
