Kelly excelled in athletics from a young age, playing a variety of sports over the years, even medaling in a state championship in track at the age of 11. She was an extremely hard worker and had a long resume consisting of a wide array of job experiences.

Kelly was a warm & kind person with the most endearing and silly sense of humor. She enjoyed helping others and sought the opportunity to do so wherever she could. Kelly leaves to cherish her loving memory her parents, sister, and brother, as well as 2 nephews and 1 niece.
