Kelley was a graduate of the Fenster School in Arizona, she attended T.C.C. and she was also enrolled in the UF Pharmacy Technician Program. Kelley was a talented actress who loved art, music and especially her cats. She grew up a Star Trek fanatic and dreamed of travelling the universe one day. She made friends easily and brought light and humor into each life she touched. Her kindness and compassion extended to those souls shunned for being different, she was a Free Spirit.

“Music, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory-

Odors, when sweet violets sicken,

Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heaped for the beloved’s bed;

And so thy thoughts, when Thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on.”

P.B. Shelley
