Jaimee Kellermann
WAKE FOREST- Jaimee Kellermann went to heaven on December 5, 2004 to live with the angels.
She was born on February 9, 1990 to Michael and Elizabeth Kellermann who adored their oldest daughter. She was devoted to her sister, Bailey, and her brother, Michael, Jr. and was such a joy to her grandparents, Ted and Libby Thompson and Henry and Linda Kellermann. Jaimee had many loving aunts, uncles and cousins along with many friends who will miss her bright smile.
Jaimee was so full of life and personality and loved everyone. Everyone loved her back and with all her family and friends enjoyed a wonderful and exciting life.
Her smile could light up a room and she brought joy to all those around her. Jaimee was a straight “A” student and excelled in everything she did. She loved sports including ice skating, swimming, softball and her very favorite sport of Cheerleading. Friends and neighbors loved Jaimee’s enthusiasm and called her a little spark plug. She created a network of friends from Richmond to Raleigh, North Carolina where Jaimee’s family moved in 2002. For the first 12 years of her life, Jaimee lived in Richmond, and had many wonderful friends and relatives. She achieved so much in her lifetime to be proud of.
She was called suddenly and we wish we could have said goodbye.
It is only God and his wisdom, that knows the reason why.
Flowers may fade and wilt but all the love we have for you, Jaimee, will never die.
You have touched our hearts forever.
She will always remain the best measure of grace, dignity, and generosity. Jaimee Kellermann possessed an ”unconditional love” that we should all aspire to and Jaimee would only be happy if everyone smiled and spoke happy words when they think of her. That is what she would want.
Funeral services will be held at 1 o’clock Friday afternoon, December 10, 2004 at Grace Community Church, 6561 Meridien Drive, Raleigh, NC 27616 . Burial will follow in Pine Forest Memorial Gardens in Wake Forest. Casual Dress is Requested
