Patricia Ann Kelley (Server) passed away peacefully after many days with family by her side on October 1, 2025.

Pat was born on March 23, 1938 to Helen (Kopp) and Albert Swanson in Cloquet,  Minnesota, and graduated from Jefferson Cloquet High School in 1956. She married Robert Kelley on May 17, 1958, they started their life together, settling West of Cloquet raising 6 children. Bob & Pat purchased Pine Hill Golf Course in 1975 which they ran until they began pursuing their love for traveling in 1989, spending winter seasons in Eufaula, Alabama. They traveled South each winter making memories until Bob's passing in 1999. Pat then made her home in Nickerson, MN where she met her life partner, Marty Erickson in 2001.

Pat enjoyed golfing, traveling, socializing with friends & family, and especially dancing. Making friends came easy, as she was able to turn every mishap into fun and was always quick with a sassy remark. She could often be found lounging in the sun, and will be most remembered for her tenacious spirit and witty retorts. If you were lucky enough to know Pat, you know how admirably audacious she was!

Pat is preceded in death by her mother, Helen; her father, Al; two sisters Shirley & Stephanie; her husband, Bob; life partner, Marty; and son, Keven.

She is survived by her children Keith Kelley, Tim (Bridget) Kelley, Stephanie (Jim) Josephson, Colyn (Perry) DeMarre, and Bryan Kelley; 14 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren, and many friends who were so special to her.

All family & friends are invited to join us in celebration of Pat's life on Sunday, October 12 from 1-3pm at the Nickerson Bar. Please bring your favorite memory or story.

Please direct all arrangements to Nickerson Bar the day of the celebration.
