Virginia Clinton Kelley (June 6, 1923 – January 6, 1994), was the mother of former United States President Bill Clinton. She was born Virginia Dell Cassidy, the daughter of James Eldridge Cassidy (1898-1957), the town iceman (later a grocer), and Edith Cassidy (née Grisham; 1901-1968), a nurse anesthetist. During her high school years, she worked as a waitress at a local restaurant. Following her graduation from high school, Virginia Kelley moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, to study to be a nurse anesthetist like her mother. During her training in Shreveport, she met her first husband, Bill Blythe, Jr., whom she married in a civil ceremony in 1943, just before he shipped out for World War II military duty.
