Kelly was a wonderful, kind and funny person with a heart of gold. We worked together at a small KY college 20+ years ago. I remember us going together to a work conference in DC in 2003. We had a blast! Never a dull moment. Soar with the angels, my friend.
I met Kelly at Otterbein. We hadn’t messaged for a while. I’m so sorry!!! I got on Facebook to wish her happy birthday and found out she was in Heaven. Someday we will never be apart!!
I just found out about Kelly’s passing today. She was such a happy, beautiful, big-hearted human. We knew each other from her time at Union College so many years ago. My heart goes out to her friends and family.
Much love & many prayers for the family of Kelly. I have so many fun & amazing memories of Kelly! What a strong woman with such a loving heart. You will be missed Kelly, by many more people than you could ever know. You touched many.
I am beyond heartbroken to hear of Kelly’s passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many memories and pictures of our time at UD where she became more than just a friend. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
