Kelly’s greatest joy in life was her daughter, Jocelyn. They could often be found doing “girlie” things or just spending time talking. Throughout the years she loved spending time with family, all while making memories. Kelly also enjoyed shopping and taking trips to the nearby casino. But most recently she could be found taking long walks with her beloved dog, Prancer.  

Kelly graduated from BGHS in 1999 and obtained a Nursing Degree as an LPN shortly after. She worked at a few different nursing homes, as she loved to care for the elderly.
