Her parents, John Finn and Kathryn Elms welcomed their daughter into the world on February 21, 1977 in Fitchburg, Mass.

Kelly grew up in Fitchburg, moving to New Ipswich, NH in 1991, where she was a graduate of Mascenic High School in New Ipswich. She later resided in Peterborough, NH before moving to Hinsdale in 2007.

A talented artist, Kelly extended her creativity to sketching and drawing, as well as tattoo designing, applying her creations onto many seeking her unique designs. She loved the holiday’s, decorating her home for each occasion, especially Halloween. Kelly had a special fondness of animals, especially cats. Being outdoors, exploring what nature has to offer, especially with her daughters, was special to Kelly. She loved the ocean, and found great solace and happiness there. Kelly also had a very special bond with her brother and sister.

Kelly will be greatly missed by many especially her two daughters, Natalie K. LaRue and Bianca LaRue, both of Hinsdale; her mother, Kathryn Hecker and her husband, Mark, of New Ipswich; her father, John Finn of Fitchburg; her brother, Casey N. Hecker of Lompico, CA; her sister, Danielle L. Hecker of Peterborough; a half-sister, Aimee Finn of Methuen, MA; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family members.
