Bank in Michigan, at Bank One in Ohio, and General Electric in Pennsylvania.
In 2003, she joined SEI Investment at its Philadelphia headquarters, and finished her career as global marketing director, retiring in 2016.
The Philadelphia Business Journal named her to their“ Women of Distinction” list in 2013.
Tim graduated from Frankfort High School in 1977, but says he never enjoyed school until he found the building trades program in his junior year.
He began his own construction company after high school, and worked there for eight years until he had an opportunity to join the Frankfort Water Company. Working in the water company’ s service department“ taught me understanding,” he said.
“ You had to deal with all types of people. I was there for 18 years and ended up a part of some people’ s lives,” he said.
He left the water department in 2004 then tested in as a journeyman for the Carpenter’ s Union and worked on hospitals, schools, libraries, churches, and other projects.
Voris said Tim has been proactive in maintaining the YMCA building, and is constructive in his thought process with a positive attitude.
“ I’ ve always tried to be charitable,” Tim said,“ but I’ ve always felt like I’ ve been blessed and I’ ve always felt like I had more than I need, so I’ ve always been happy to share my time and talents and money.”
Tim says he joined the local Rotary Club to“ pay back for the help they gave me with a water project in Kenya.” He went to a meeting with Debbie in Philadelphia where the topic was the need for water for kids in Kenya.
“ I went home and couldn’ t sleep,” Tim said.“ To think that a child couldn’ t get a clean drink of water really resonated with me.”
A friend in Rotary hooked Tim up with a Chicago group in charge of water and sanitation projects, and the Kelleys later went to Kenya to help build a catchment system for a children’ s home in Kisimu.
Tim married Dawn Elliott, a close friend of Debbie’ s sister Mickie, so they became part of a big extended family. After 25 years of marriage, Dawn died of brain cancer in 2012.
Debbie was newly divorced at the time, and after Dawn’ s death, Debbie and Tim became“ best friends” and two years later married.
The Kelleys wanted to move back to Indiana to be closer to family, and found a Brown County home with space for a large workshop for Tim and lots of gardening area for Debbie and room for their dog Toby to romp. Here, they continue to find ways to help, whether it’ s protecting and releasing Monarch butterflies, feeding the local deer population, helping kids stay safe, or just being good neighbors. •
