Patricia M. Kelley Fund for Choral Excellence

Established from an estate gift from Patricia M. “Pat” Kelley for the benefit of The State College Choral Society. A devoted 34-year singing member of the chorus and former multi-term Choral Society Board member, Patricia M. Kelley taught vocal music at Park Forest Middle School for more than 30 years and was a beloved music educator. She was even cited for her work as an outstanding music teacher by the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Patricia passed away in 2019 and was heavily involved in her community as a member of the State College Presbyterian Church, the State College Choral Society, the Penn State University Women’s Club, the Antiquists, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. Previously she served as the President of the Board of the Music Academy. This fund will support the State College Choral Society and Patricia’s love of music in her memory.
