With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our mom, a woman whose warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched everyone she met. She lived life with a sparkle in her eye and a heart full of love.
She was happiest when spending time with her grandchildren, whose laughter lit up her world, their hugs and giggles brought her endless joy.
She cherished every moment spent with her children - whether it was a quiet conversation, a shared meal, or simply being together.
It didn't matter if she was cracking jokes with her siblings or heading out for a shopping spree and a little casino fun with her best friend, she lived for connection, laughter, and the simple pleasures of life.
For 37 years, our mom served her community as a bus driver, safely guiding generations of children to and from school with a smile and a kind word. She also gave 15 years of service as an EMT with the local volunteer fire department, always ready to help others in their time of need.
She didn't ask for much - just the love of her family and friends, which she received in abundance. In keeping with her wishes, there will be no formal services. The outpouring of love and support at her benefit was all she ever wanted, and it meant the world to her.
Her legacy lives on in the laughter she inspired, the lives she touched, and the family she loved so deeply.

Kelly, Bev, Heather, and I were friends in Altmar Elementary School. Kelly could downplay a problem when everyone else could not. She was funny and a great friend. My condolences to the Heywood and Kaminsky families.

Kelly was such a big part of my life in school growing up. She always cared about me and id sit front seat just to talk to her and crack jokes. She made such an impact on my life and so many others. She had my son on her bus as well and that was the full circle moment that made me feel so good to know he got to experience bus rides with Kelly too. She will be greatly missed. Not a single person in our tiny town dosent know and love Kelly. I will remember her forever.
