WATERLOO - Deborah L. (Russell) Kelley, 60, of Waterloo, formerly of Marietta, Ohio, and Worcester, Mass., died Monday, the 20th day of June, 2011.

Debbie was born Dec. 1, 1950, in Fort Atkinson, Wis., daughter of Beryl C. Arnold, Robert L. Russell and Robert K. Arnold. Debbie married William Rauh of Holden, and they later divorced. She married Gene Kelley of Marrietta and later moved to Waterloo to be with her sister, Pamela (Russell) Bolick.

Debbie graduated from Burncoat Senior High School, Worcester, Mass., in 1968. Debbie was on the board of directors of Peoples Clinic in Waterloo and contributed to the NorthStar organization by always caring for those less fortunate. Debbie was a lifelong advocate for animals and spent much of her life speaking for the animals that could not speak for themselves.

Debbie leaves loving her father, Robert L. Russell (Dottie) of West Boylston, Mass.; her father, Robert K. Arnold of Westerly, R.I.; her sisters, Pamela R. Bolick (Dr. Cam) of Waterloo, Robin A. Dobbyn (Russell) of Hollywood, Fla., and Killian A. Arnold of Norwalk, Conn.; and her brother, Michael H. Arnold (Lisa) of North Grafton, Mass.

Debbie will be buried in Westerly next to the ocean that she so loved, alongside her mother, Beryl C. Arnold; her brother, Robert (Rocky) Russell Arnold, and a very special uncle, Richard Arnold.

Debbie would love nothing more than for the animals to receive a gift in her name. The address for the Cedar Bend Humane Society is: 1166 W. Airline Highway, Waterloo, IA 50703-6887; (319) 232-6887.
