Harold Lee Kelling was born in Renwick, Iowa, on January 20, 1928, to John G and Edna (Friday) Kelling. Harold enlisted in the Navy. Upon discharge, he moved to Waterloo where he met his wife, Beverly. They were married in Thor, Iowa, in July of 1952. They were blessed to have celebrated 71 years of marriage together.

They moved to Marshalltown where Harold worked for Marshall Mills and Marshall Concrete. He was a thinker and inventor and was very proud to have a patent for a Grain Unloader. Harold was also an accomplished woodworker having made some of their furniture and many small items.

After retiring from his jobs in Marshalltown, he and Beverly moved to an acreage near Hayward, Wisconsin. They enjoyed the Wisconsin winters and the wildlife. Especially the bears and deer were frequent visitors. After 15 years, they returned to Marshalltown, Iowa.

Harold is survived by his wife, Beverly; sister-in-law, Donna Kelling; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Kenneth and Earl; and sister-in-law, Alice Kelling.
