Alice Hubbard Kelsey
February 27, 2018
Alice (Lee) Hubbard Kelsey, 83, passed away on February 27, 2018. She was a lifelong resident of West Hartford, CT and most recently of Brookdale Place of West Hartford. Lee retired from the Bloomfield, CT school system after a long career as a physical education teacher. Lee was a sports participant and enthusiast. She skied, swam, sailed, biked and played tennis well into her 70s until Alzheimer’s took her abilities away. She was UCONNs most loyal fan of its men and women basketball teams, holding season tickets for more years than we can remember. She fulfilled one of her many “bucket list” wishes by attending all four tennis grand slam tournaments in the same year. Lee was soft-spoken, generous and a devoted friend. Lee was predeceased by her parents, Alice and Clifford Kelsey, and her cousin, Richard Washburn. She is survived by her cousins, Martha W. Trull of Chapel Hill, NC, Jack Washburn of Mystic, CT, Neal W. Frey of New Orleans, LA, many other cousins and faithful friends with who she spent valuable and immeasurable time. Also surviving Lee is her cherished confidant and long-time caregiver, Lillie Alston. A memorial service will be held later in the year. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org or to a charity of choice. Molloy Funeral Home is assisting the family.
