Marty Kelbel

Marty Kelbel, 58, of North Lima, lost his battle to cancer on June 3, 2021 at the Hospice House surrounded by his loved ones. Marty was born February 2, 1963 in Toronto, Canada. 

He was a 1981 graduate of Chaney High School. Marty was a metal fabricator and was employed at several sign companies. He took great pride in his work throughout the Valley. He married the love of his life, Betty (Smallwood) Kelbel, on their favorite holiday, October 31, 2001. They loved and enjoyed every day of their  lives together. Marty was one in a million. He was a kindhearted soul that would help and give everything to make a difference for anyone. He loved music, motorcycling, traveling, fishing, hunting, baking, and camping at Holiday Camplands. He was the best storyteller around! His favorite times were being with friends and family playing games, listening to music, and sitting around a campfire. We will miss our Marty man.  

Marty is survived by his loving wife, Betty Kelbel. His parents preceded him in death, Martin and Agnes (Yakimoff) Kelbel. Marty is survived by his favorite cousins, Patty, Michelle, Eric, Sophie and Stella, and many others. Marty was an animal lover and is survived by his fur babies: Shadow, Gunner, Sunny, Monkey, and Baby. He is survived by his birth mother, Carol, and her husband, Wayne Morrow. He also leaves his brother, Wayne, and his wife, Sandra along with three sisters, Debbie, Connie, Tammie of Toronto, Canada, and a host of nieces and nephews. 

Many thanks to the Hospice House nurses, doctors, family, and friends who loved and supported the family through this difficult time.
