She attended Bishop Miege High School her Freshman and Sophomore years and then graduated from Mill Valley High School in Shawnee in 2007. She was currently completing her Freshman year at the University of Miami in Florida studying marine science and biology.
Kelly was an excellent student who loved to learn and she excelled at everything she did. She loved school, volleyball, travel, reading, hanging out with her friends, and driving her little red mini-cooper. All who knew Kelly were always impressed with her heart of gold and her friendly and caring demeanor. We are sure Kelly would want us to continue to remember her for how she truly cared about others and how she tackled all life had to offer with vigor, excitement, and hope. We are all extremely fortunate to have been exposed to her incredibly loving and caring personality and we are richer human beings for having known her. We’ll never forget her engaging smile, zest for life, and love for others.
Kelly is preceded in death by her Grandparents Dan and Mabel Jones of Merriam, Kansas and her Grandfather Stuart F. Meyer of Palm Coast, Florida. She is survived by her Grandmother Doris C.

Please mail contributions to the University of Miami, in Kelly’s name to P.O. Box 025388, Miami Florida 33102-9811.
Think of Kelly not as gone, but as living; not as a flower that has faded, but rather, a flower that has been transplanted; and nourished by the love and kindness she bestowed on us, and is now blooming in even richer colors and sweeter shades. Her impact on all of us will never fade. All who knew her will see her vibrancy shining through in friends and the world around and in that moment will perpetuate her memory with a warm smile and mischievous wink.
