Eunice Kelley Cies Windett

Eunice Kelley Cies Windett, age 92 passed away on Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, IL.
I was born on October 14, 1921 in Flat River, MO, to Lewis and Edith Kelley.
My father was a ?lead miner? and my mother, a hard working housewife. We didn?t have much money but we had lots of love. I had one brother and four sisters. Now there is only me! At this time I am 92 years young with wonderful memories I would like to share with you.
In 1940 I met George T. Cies and we were married shortly after we met. We had three children, George K. Cies, Julie Cies Elliott and Gene Cies Witzel. Next came nine grandchildren, then came thirteen great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. George and I had 50 happy years together until his death in 1990.
The next chapter in my life is ten years married to Ellsworth Windett, a true gentleman from the old school. He was a wonderful companion and we did lots of traveling, hunting and fishing. It was a good ten years.
In 2001, I lost my son George Cies, and grandson Michael Martner and husband Ellsworth Windett. It was a very sad time!
Fortunately there were wonderful great grandchildren to ?love?. Believe me you can?t feel sad when a child is giving you a loving hug!
My wish for you is that you love each other and count your blessings every day.
If you believe that ?love makes the world go around?, come celebrate my Wonderful Life with my family at 1:30 PM on Sunday, January 5, 2014 at the Kennedy Pointe Restaurant, 2245 Kennedy Rd in Bristol, IL.
Love, Kelley
