Robert P. Kelly. The Kelly family is saddened to announce the death
of Robert P. Kelly, beloved husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and friend.
Bob's gifts to us have been many. His virtue and generosity, his consistency
and skill, his profound love of God, wife, family, and friends--through these
Bob has inspired us all. Those of us who looked to Bob as a source of strength
know how his presence will be missed and how his spirit will continue to thrive
in everything we do. Robert Parker Kelly was born on July 17, 1929 in Highland
Park, IL to Tom and Ita Kelly. A resident of
Albuquerque since 1943, Bob graduated from St. Mary's High School and attended
The University of New Mexico. For over 40 years, he worked at Sandia National
Laboratories, where his duties included department manager of both labor
relations and security; he retired in January 1992. Bob was an avid Notre Dame football fan and an avid golfer who once won the Kelly Golf
Invitational, an annual event he relished. He was a respected member of
Annunciation Parish for over 40 years, where he acted as a lector, a
Eucharistic Minister, and a member of both the Social Concerns Ministry and of
the Companions on the Journey.
The great joy of Bob's life was his large and devoted family, which
includes his wife Dolly, his seven children and their spouses (Bob and Barbara
Kelly; Jane and Jim Blankenship; Mike and Marianne Kelly; Pat Kelly and
Lori Hunt; Brian and Julie Kelly; Dan and Suzanne Kelly; Matt and Marianthe Kelly), his fifteen grandchildren (Jennifer and
husband Phil Lewis; Crystal, David, and Jonathan Kelly; Sarah, Sam, Mary, and
Leah Blankenship; Meghan Kelly; Sophie, Aidan, and Catherine Kelly; Camille
Kelly; Jane and Claire Kelly), and his two great-grandchildren (Arwyn and Alhana Lewis). To his
wife Dolly, Bob was a loving husband and friend for over 52 years; to his
children and grandchildren, he was a model of warmth and integrity; and to all
who knew him, Bob Kelly was a man of intelligence, sensitivity, and fine
company. Bob is also survived by his brother Jim and his wife Theresa, as well
as many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother Tom.

HALL -- Laura Hall passed into her eternal rest on Sunday, April
20, 2008. Known affectionately as "Laura Lee," she was born December
17, 1925, in Altus, OK to Henry and Fannie Starkey. She attended Oklahoma
Baptist University at Shawnee, OK prior to her first marriage to Harold Miller,
a Navy pilot, during WWII. After being released from the service, they moved to
his home in Missouri. Soon after, he became ill and she took a teaching
position in a one room school known as "Pinhook."
This was the beginning of a long teaching career. After five years of marriage,
Harold passed away from leukemia. She then married Russell Lindley and became
mother to his two daughters, Carol and Sue. In 1956, the family moved to
Albuquerque and settled in the Alameda community. Upon the death of her second
husband in 1960, she returned to college finishing her BA degree at St.
Joseph's College and her MA degree at UNM. She taught in the APS system for
twenty-five years, where she was a dedicated teacher and a hard taskmaster. Laura
is well remembered by many of her former students and by many of their children
who she also taught. She retired from her position after a number of years at
Alameda Elementary School but remained active in the NBA. Laura subsequently
married two more times, first to Vernon Hall who passed away in 1990 and then
to Fred Peckinpaugh who passed away in 2002. She was
an active member of the Hoffmantown Baptist Church.
Laura became involved with The Young at Heart Senior Gospel Choir eighteen
years ago and served as vice president and a member of the official board for
several years. She traveled with the choir extensively sharing her lovely alto
solos and poignant (sometimes humorous) testimony. With an extended family of
over one hundred twenty choir members, she has been a most beloved and revered
presence and will be missed.
Laura is survived by two
daughters, Carol Beale of Littleton, NC and Sue Burow
of Denten, TX; two stepsons, Dennis Peckinpaugh of Albuquerque and Tom Peckinpaugh
of Benson, AZ; two grandchildren, Patrick Blankenship
of Atlanta, GA and Jennifer McCall of Denton, TX; three great-grandchildren;
and a host of friends.
