During her high school years, Kelsea developed a passion for softball. Kelsea's ambition was evident as she earned her CNA certificate and aimed to further her career as an Ultrasound Technician. Her work at Sephora was a reflection of her passion for beauty, where she embraced her love for makeup. Kelsea also had a gentle spirit that drew her to children and animals alike. Her joy was contagious; she found happiness in singing, dancing, and cherishing family gatherings, along with a commitment to health through her gym workouts.
Kelsea is survived by her mother, Yvette Hendricks, and her siblings: Ryann, Summer, and Johnny Perkins; Paul, Joel, Eliza, and Kane Antone; and Christine Combs. She is preceded in death by her father, Karl Perkins.
