Kelsie Ann Maddox

Kelsie Ann Maddox of Hopewell, Virginia, left us on November 25th, 2022 after a 16 year battle with Parkinson's disease, at the age of 84. Born February 26, 1938 on the same street she lived her whole life, South 17th Avenue in Hopewell. She was surrounded by her daughter, son-in-law, and three grandsons when she passed.

Kelsie left high school in the eleventh grade to marry her first husband, John T. Broughton, with whom she had two sons, Dennis R. Broughton and David W. Broughton. She later divorced and married Charlie E. Maddox and had her daughter, Kimberly A. Maddox (now Keane). She proudly went back to school in her forties, to complete her GED.

She worked in food service most of her life. The last portion, at Dupont Elementary and Harry E. James Elementary. She took pride in her cooking and excelled in every way in this area. It was her great joy to cook for days for her family during the holidays. She attended Powers Memorial Baptist Church in Hopewell for many years until her illness.

Her pride and joy in her retirement were her grandsons. She served her family tirelessly, helping raise and care for them until she became too ill. Her devotion to her grandchildren had no end. She was a good grandma and poured out her love for them in many acts of service.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Charlie E. Maddox; her son David W. Broughton at the age of 18; her parents Robert L. Mason and Mattie B. (Peters) Mason; her brother John M. Mason; and first husband John T. Broughton.

She is survived by her son Dennis R. Broughton and his loving partner Gloria King; her daughter Kimberly A. Keane; devoted son-in-law John J. Keane III; and grandsons John A. Keane, Gavin D. Keane, and Mason J. Keane.

Kelsie knew and loved the Lord and we rejoice that she is in the Savior's arms, no longer bound to her suffering. However bitter-sweet the departure, we will miss you Mama!

A chapel service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday November 30, 2022, with visitation an hour prior beginning at 2:00 p.m. at the Hopewell Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home.
