Kelly had so many interests but was best known for her love of gardening, baking, sewing, making baby clothes and last but not least her warm quilts. She loved the holidays and liked to decorate even more. Family was so important to Kelly and she loved being with them and the precious moments together. Her greatest joy in life was being a grandma to Kaneara and Keyvonne. “Grandma Kelly” never missed an opportunity to spoil them, care for them or just spend time with her grandbabies.
