Kelly Ann Schram, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away with her loving husband, Joe, by her side.
Born on August 23, 1959, Kelly lived a life centered on the people she loved. Her family and friends were deeply important to her, and she gave of herself generously through her love, care, and presence. The memories and traditions she created will continue to live on in everyone fortunate enough to have known her.
Kelly is survived by her loving husband, Joseph Schram; her sons, David Schram and his wife, Alicia, and Jeremy Schram and his wife, Kimlynn; and her cherished grandchildren, Taylor and Jaxsen, who brought tremendous joy and pride to her life. She treasured the love she shared with her family and took great joy in watching her sons build lives of their own and in being part of her grandchildren’s lives.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Sharon; her father, Joseph; and her brother, Kevin. She is survived by her siblings and their significant others: Kraig and Trish Dobson, and Karen and Bobby Bradly. Kelly shared an enduring bond with her siblings and their families, and those connections remained an important part of her life.
Kelly will be remembered for the love she gave so freely, the strength she brought to those around her, and the meaningful difference she made through the simple, lasting ways she cared for others. She had a gift for making people feel loved and remembered. Her presence brought comfort, warmth, and connection, and her absence will be felt deeply by all who knew her.
While her passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness, Kelly’s life was defined by far more than the day she left us. It was defined by the years she shared with Joseph, the love she gave to David and Jeremy, the pride and happiness she found in Taylor and Jaxsen, and the many memories she created with her family, extended family, and friends.
Those who loved Kelly will carry her forward in the stories they tell, the traditions they continue, the laughter they remember, and the love they share with one another. Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished, in the relationships she nurtured, and in the lasting impression she made on the hearts of those around her.
Kelly Ann Schram will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
“Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day.”
