Janie Sue Collins Kelley

Janie Sue Collins Kelley, 71, of Covington, died Monday, August 31, 2026, at LewisGale Medical Center in Salem. She was born May 19, 1955, in Richmond, a daughter of the late Earl Collins and Ethel Barlow Turbeville. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Miles Lee Kelley; and three siblings, Andy, J.P., and Roger Collins. She loved spending time with her family and had a great sense of humor—truly a spitfire. In her free time, she enjoyed watching her favorite shows, including NCIS, CSI, Walker, and just about any crime drama. She also had a deep love for animals, especially her cat, Cuddles. She is survived by her daughter, Samantha Kelley Wilson of Covington; four grandchildren, Jade Storm Wilson (Terry Hall) of Covington, Tonya Cleek and Courtney Booth, both of Staunton, and Nathan Wilson of Clifton Forge; twelve great-grandchildren; one sister, Marty Baker of Louisa; three brothers, Robert Collins of Richmond, and David Collins and Earl Collins, both of Louisa; a sister-in-law, Teresa Bruner of Richmond; numerous nieces and nephews, including Shelby Collins and her family; and a host of extended family and friends. In accordance with her wishes, her body has been cremated. A private memorial service is planned for a later date. Arritt Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
