Donald Lynn Kelly

Join us as we celebrate the life of Donald L. Kelly, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Born in Seattle on February 11, 1932 to Edgar and Irma Nell (Ferguson) Kelly, Don rowed on the Green Lake Crew team while attending Roosevelt High School, graduating in 1950. He entered the University of Washington Pharmacy program and was a member of the Husky Crew team under Coach Al Ulbrickson. He enlisted in the US Army and served in Korea near the end of the Korean War. Upon discharge from the Army, Don returned and graduated from UW Pharmacy School in 1958. During that time, he met and married Patricia Barrigan in 1956. After working in the Seattle area, he purchased the Owl Drug Store in Wenatchee with Lloyd Rudy, which he owned for over 20 years. The store's legacy lives on at the Owl Soda Fountain in downtown Wenatchee. After selling the store he worked at the Village Pharmacy in Leavenworth until retiring in 2011. In all, his pharmacy career spanned over 60 years, greeting, serving and laughing with thousands in the Wenatchee and Leavenworth communities. He is survived by his wife, Pat of Wenatchee; three children and their spouses, Karen and her husband Tracy Goetz of Kenmore, Washington, Kim and her husband Larry Hasenoehrl of Bend, Oregon and Jim and his wife Wendy (Ibach) Kelly of Fox Island, Washington; five grandchildren, Gordy and Spencer Goetz, Amy and her husband Chris Watson, Katie Hasenoehrl, and Nicole Kelly; and his brother Doug and his wife Kristi Kelly of Des Moines, Washington. He was preceded in death by his brother Roger Kelly. The family is grateful to the Hospice team for their help and support. Don's easy smile, quick wit and quiet confidence endeared him to all that knew him. His legacy will live on in the lives of his family and everyone else who were blessed to know him. He will be missed. A funeral service will be held at the First United Methodist Church in Wenatchee on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. Memorials may be made to the charity of your choice in loving memory of Don. You are invited to view his online guestbook at www.HeritageMemorialChapel.com . Arrangements are in the care of Heritage Memorial Chapel, East Wenatchee.
