Janice A. Kelly
Janice Kelly passed away peacefully at her home in Ft. Collins, CO, on Feb. 17, 2020.
Janice was born on March 28, 1950, to Harold and Mary Kelly in Chillicothe, Missouri. The family moved to Rawlins, WY, in the early 1950s, where she graduated from Rawlins High School in 1968. She graduated from Sheridan College in Wyoming with a Dental Hygienist degree in 1972.
Her career as a hygienist started in Cheyenne for Dr. Burns and Dr. Accardo directly after graduation. In 1975, a Cheyenne coworker’s husband was transferred to Elmendorf AF base in Anchorage. She went for a visit but eventually decided to look for a job. She settled on Wasilla, where she worked for Dr Robinson. He had a dental office but also traveled to remote native Alaskan villages to perform dental services. Janice was included in these visits. In 1988, she relocated to Ft. Collins and worked for Dr. Tim Anderson, where she retired from dental hygiene in October, 2007.
Janice is survived by her mother, Mary Kelly of Ft. Collins, CO; her sister, Lynda Klouda (Kenny) of Rawlins, WY; her nephew, Kelly Klouda (Ashley) of Laramie, WY; and grand nephews, Riley and Devon Kramer-Klouda of Rawlins, WY. She is also survived by an uncle, Donald Dean McBee of Braymer; an aunt, Lois Kely of Kansas City; and many McBee, Kelly, McKnight, and Clevenger cousins.
Her father, Harold Kelly, preceded her in death in 2015.
A celebration of life service will be held at the Adriel Hills Clubhouse, 1900 Kedron Circle, Ft. Collins, CO, on Saturday, April 4, 2020 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Her wish was to have her ashes spread in a pretty place with her three deceased dogs, Bandit, Katie, and Mickie. Her ashes will be spread in Snowy Range, WY, her grandparent’s farm at Braymer, and in Alaska. Any memorial contributions may be made to your local animal shelters.
