James T. Kelly, known as “Mr. Kelly”, 82, of St. Marys, PA
James T. Kelly, known as “Mr. Kelly”, 82, of St. Marys, PA left the constriction of blindness after a short illness on Monday, January 9,2023.
He was born on September 29,1940, in Bellaire, OH, a son of the late Albert and Ruth Thompson Kelly.
Mr. Kelly was the last of his surviving family. He spent his youth in Ridgway and later in life spent his time in St. Marys. Local residence may remember him stopping their vehicle in the area of the St. Marys diamond as Mr. Kelly would fearlessly walk to his destinations before completely losing his sight. He was able to maintain an independent living situation with the assistance of numerous service providers, all of whom will miss his dry wit and intelligence.
Mr. Kelly was well-traveled as a young man, having accompanied his mother to Europe on 15 occasions. This instilled in him a lifelong love of geographic trivia. He was also fond of using simple math equations to engage his listeners in conversation. He will be sorely missed as he transitions to a place where loud noises, animals, and children will no longer be offensive to his heightened sensitivities.
Funeral Services for James T. Kelly will be celebrated on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at 11:00 AM at Krise Funeral Home, 130 Center Street, Ridgway, PA 15853.
Visitation will be held at Krise Funeral Home on Saturday from 10:00 AM until the time of services.
Burial will follow at Thayer Cemetery.

Wolf Administration Outlines Efforts to Combat Human Trafficking, Offers Survivor Resources, Encourages Public to Learn and Act
Harrisburg, PA – Executives from the Pennsylvania departments of Transportation (PennDOT) Health (DOH), Labor and Industry (L&I), and Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), and the Office of Victim Advocate were joined by other advocates today to discuss human trafficking, outline efforts to combat it, explain how to report potential cases, and offer resources for survivors.
Human trafficking is the exploitation of people using force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of commercial sex, forced labor, or domestic servitude. According to the International Labor OrganizationOpens In A New Window, there are approximately 28 million victims of human trafficking globally with 17.3 million people experiencing forced labor in private sector industries and 6.3 million experiencing forced commercial sexual exploitation. January is recognized as Human Trafficking Awareness Month, with January 11 marking #WearBlueDayPA to raise awareness of trafficking.
“Human trafficking is happening across the world, and unfortunately, right here in Pennsylvania,” PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian said. “We’re collaborating at state, national, and local levels to combat this problem and urge the public to join us in the fight.”
