Kelly Ray Griffith was born on January 8, 1948, in Miami, Oklahoma, to Ray and Dorothy (Kelly) Griffith. He went to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 15, 2026, in Duncan, Oklahoma, at the age of 78.

On May 29, 1969, Kelly married the love of his life, Mary Jane Hollander, in Lawton, Oklahoma. Together they raised their daughter, Linda, and built a beautiful life rooted in love, faith, and devotion. Their marriage, which lasted 50 wonderful years, remained a testament to their deep bond until Mary was called home to the Lord.

Kelly was an active and faithful member of First Baptist Church of Ryan, Oklahoma, where he found purpose, fellowship, and joy in serving. Above all, Kelly cherished time with his family, his greatest blessing. He will be remembered for his kind heart, steady faith, and the love he poured into those around him.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers: Charles Griffith and Jim Griffith. Survivors include his daughter, Linda Gillispie and husband Steve of Duncan; grandchildren: Lena Sturges, Nathan Lambert, Brandon Keck, Ronnie Keck, Star Keck, Sarah Griffith, Randy Griffith, Heather Grant; and 21 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service is being planned for a later date. Cremation arrangements are being handled by Whitt Funeral Home/Oakcrest Funeral Home.
