Kelly loved her family, work, people and was the life of any gathering.  She enjoyed music, singing, dancing, movies and talking to her friends on the phone.

Her working career included Wendy’s Restaurant, Prescott Group and Knightsbridge Robertson Surrette.  She always complimented her co-workers and often told them what hard workers they were.
