Kelly Jean Carlson

Kelly was a bold, kind, loving, and beautiful person. She touched the lives of many with her kind nature and she spread as much love as she could. Loved ones will always remember her love of adventure and free spirit. Kelly was ambitious- she put herself through post-secondary school while raising a child, she moved into her dream home and made it her own, and she never failed to make whatever it was she wanted happen. At the same time, she always offered support to her loved ones, no matter the personal cost. The love she shared will be felt eternally and the love we have for her will never end.

She is survived by child Keira; mother Laura; brothers Mark, Bob and wife Amy, Mike and wife Angel; five nephews; four nieces; five great-nephews; two best friends, Lori and Christy; a long list of aunts, uncles and cousins and four cats.

A funeral service for Kelly will be held Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 1:00 PM, with a visitation one hour prior, at Sunset Funeral Home, 2250 St Anthony Boulevard NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418.
