Kelly:
Kelly was a wonderful spirit who always loved her family, spending Christmas with them and decorating her home and the tree for the holidays. As a child, she made sure she could do whatever her older brothers could do, riding horses, shooting, and riding bicycles miles from home to see friends at another farm. Kelly was very creative making holiday graphics, decorations, and woodworking items for others. She enjoyed running a snow cone stand summers for a number of years so she could see how excited the children were that came to get their cones. She fondly recalled the summers and Christmases she spent as a child at her grandparents’ home in rural western Kansas and all the love experienced by all. She very much cherished her sons Chad and Josh, her grandchildren Chaz, Brody and Natalie, and her daughter-in-law Jennifer. She always had exciting stories of how much fun it was to see her sons and later grandchildren learn and experience life. She worked fearlessly long weekend and night hours at care centers, fabricating shops and whatever other jobs to provide for her family. Kelly will live on in spirit in those she loved and we look forward to the day we can see her again in heaven when the Lord calls us.
