Kelsey L. Kitzmiller

Born December 31st 1986, to Art and Kim (Riehle) Kitzmiller, who survive, she is also survived by her husband David Blackford; brother Jon Garrett Kitzmiller; grandmother Sherry Riehle; mother and father-in-law Sherry and Joe Blackford; extended family, and her three beloved cats.

Kelsey graduated from Gahanna Lincoln High School in 2005, and the University of Arizona in May 2011, with a Pharmacy degree. She practiced at CVS.

Fun-loving with an infectious laugh, she was always thinking of others and giving back. She loved to bake, loved thunderstorms, travel, and to be out in the fresh air of the garden. She spent her final days smiling, surrounded by her loving family, and feeling the wind on her face.

Special thanks to the amazing caregivers at the James Cancer Hospital and the Kobacker House.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, July 1, 2017 at 10:30AM at Stonybrook United Methodist Church with Pastor Nikki Baker officiating. A private inurnment will take place at a later date at the Peace Lutheran Church Columbarium. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to either the James or Kobacker House.
