Kelly was very creative, artistic, enjoyed crocheting, loved her fur babies, and was a very big DIY'er. She prided herself in renovating home projects all by herself. Kelly was a truly free spirited, super friendly, people person, who loved to have fun, but most of all; she loved her family, friends, and everyone that has been a part of her journey here on earth.
