Woman killed in hit-and-run remembered as neighborhood mom
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A Columbus woman killed in a hit and run late Wednesday night is being remembered as a “neighborhood mom.”
The crash happened around 11:20 Wednesday night, according to the Columbus Division of Police (CPD). Investigators said 67-year-old Mildren Ann Kelly was hit by a vehicle as she tried to cross East Livingston Ave. in the area of Berkeley Road and Lilley Ave.

“She looked over her children but when I came out here she always pulled me aside like Pam what you need,” Pamela Moseley-Smith said.
Moseley-Smith said Kelley was a good friend of hers. She and a relative of Kelley’s who on Thursday stopped by the location of the incident said everyone knew Kelley as “Miss Ann.” They said she was like a mother to many in the neighborhood.
“She would bless the neighborhood,” Mosely-Smith said. “If it was something you wanted to eat, she would take you there. Even if it was a snack, even if it was a drink, whatever it was, she was there for you.”

At this point, investigators do not have a description of the vehicle involved. Anyone with information is asked to call CPD at 614-645-4767 or Central Ohio Crimestoppers at 614-461-8477. Moseley-Smith said she hopes the driver turns themselves in.
“I believe you should stop and let the police know what happened, that it was you,” Mosely-Smith said. “This family needs closure, they definitely do.”
