Kelsey OUELLETTE Obituary

It is with broken hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved Kelsey of 31 years who was taken from us suddenly on November 5, 2022.

Cherished daughter of Martin and Debra, loving sister Stephanie, and adored auntie to Kassidy. Loved by her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Kelsey will always be remembered as a smart beautiful vibrant woman, her caring nature for family, friends, and her feline companions. Her heartwarming squeeze to the arm of a loved one. Her spirit brightened a room with her contagious laugh and loud "Whoo-hoo!" Her playful nature rating personalities as her "species."

Kelsey was truly a natural with everything she tried from competing in provincial gymnastics to her singing voice. Her unique style of design and tasteful eye for arts and crafts would always transcend in special occasions. She was pursuing a dream to be a business owner specializing in permanent make-up. Her sense of adventure led her to Western Canada where her "Happy Camper" persona was exemplified through her love of the outdoors and hiking.

Kelsey you are forever missed and forever loved.

We would like to thank family and friends for all their support during this difficult time. At this time the family is grieving privately but would welcome your thoughts, condolences, and memories.

It's an impossible thing to comprehend. It feels like only yesterday that I met Kelsey and Stephanie as little girls when they were visiting their aunt Tara at Morris Hall during her first year of university. For the years to come Tara shared so many stories about the girls, their journeys and how they have grown into kind, loving and happy people. Every time we would talk, the question would always come up - how are Deb, Marty and the girls? I will continue to ask that question knowing that it will be different now and harder. My heart is breaking for you. Sending you much love.

I remember first meeting Kelsey at Tara´s baby shower for Bennett, I was so nervous because I wasn´t really going to know anybody. Kelsey walked right in with that huge smile of hers, parked herself on the couch next to me and chatted with me the whole day. She had this incredible warm, welcoming feel to her I completely forgot that I was only meeting her and the family for the first time. I carry that memory with me often and remember to always make others feel as welcome and included as she did for me that day.

My heart goes out to you Marty, Deb and Steph. Sending you all my love and a smile and hug as warm as Kelsey´s was xo
