Kelsey Christine Perkins
On June 12, 1994, the world became a better place with the birth of Kelsey Christine Perkins. She was born with a smile that lit up the room and a twinkle in her eye that never faded. She was kind and loving; protective of those she loved. Her family and friends meant everything to her and their lives will never be the same without her. A true free spirit, Kelsey lived in the moment, with a heart full of excitement. She was always dreaming of the good times to come. Her passion for living was infectious and drew in everyone around her.
Though the world is a darker place with her passing, the heavens now shine even brighter than ever.
Kelsey died tragically as a result of a car accident on April 28, 2012.
