When Jane Kelley leaves office on Monday it will cap the end of a more than 20 year career serving the people of Pettis County.
Kelley, first elected Pettis County Treasurer as a Democrat in 2000, announced earlier this year that she would not be seeking another term in office. In November, Pettis County voters elected Kim Lyne, a Republican, as her replacement.
