Kelley started her nursing career as a candy striper at the young age of 14, continued on as a nurses aide at the McFarland House. She also attended Thompson School of Nursing for two years. Kelley ended her 32-year career at Woodridge Nursing Home in Barre, Vermont. Kelley enjoyed her career as a geriatric nurse, taking care of the elderly made my heart feel good and fulfilled me.
