KELLY CARLL Obituary

Kelly Elizabeth Carll Born December 11, 1970, passed peacefully on May 22, 2012 after a courageous two year battle with Multiple Myeloma and related complications. Kelly was the beloved middle daughter of Wade and Kathleen Carll of Incline Village, NV. She had two sisters and best friends: Erin Carll Daily of Fort Worth, TX and Molly Carll Birchett of San Jose, CA. and a brother-in-law, Andrew Birchett, of San Jose, CA, She loved and cherished her two nieces, Katherine Elizabeth Daily (4) and Riley Kathleen Birchett (20 months) and her nephew Wade William Daily (7). She was a resident of San Francisco for the past 12 years and grew up in Davis, CA and Lafayette, CA. In 1989, she graduated from Acalanes High School. In 1994, she graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. For the past 16 years, Kelly was a Flight Attendant for United Airlines based in New York (JFK) and San Francisco. Kelly will be remembered best for her infectious laugh, radiant smile, humor, wit, and fun-loving, larger than life personality. Her deep sense of love and loyalty to her friends and family will never be forgotten. She was a compassionate person who was always concerned about and supported others. Kelly had a passion for music, fashion, cooking, entertainment news, and all animals, especially dogs. Kelly's biggest joy and thrill in life was spending time with her nephew, two nieces, and her dog, Cooper.

After all this time I am just now seeing these touching and very special messages. My family and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share about her. It was so uplifting to read through the kind thoughts and positive feelings you had for her. She really was one of a kind. And to the sweet "other" Kelly Carll... wow, thank you. Two amazing women sharing the same (uncommon) name. What are the odds? Thank you, Kelly, for reaching out.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the great opportunity of meeting Kelly while flying for United. I do remember her beautiful smile and positive attitude. She was far too young to leave us.

Life has some awful sharp angles and takes unexpected turns for many of us, as it did for Kelly. As most of us reflect on our lives, there is still much good, a number of bright spots, and softness that surround us. That goodness and beauty provides us with some comfort. Last night's beautiful sunset while flying home for SFO to LAX provided some comfort to some of us after an emotional day at Kelly's funeral and Celebration of this beautiful girl's life. Rest In Peace Kelly. Rest in the arms of the angels as they carry you on your last flight to that place of everlasting peace and glory.

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.....
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.
RIP Kelly

So sorry for your loss Molly and family. Kelly sounds like an amazing women who touched many many lives. I wish I had had the opportunity to have met her. Until you you're together again - may God give your family comfort.

Ah yes, dear Kelly! To her mother and father and sisters. I was a flying partner of Kelly's out of New York. She will certainly be remembered for her radiant smile and personality. Her "signature" voice and laugh was fabulous. Kelly always had a positive attitude and knew how to keep me laughing from coast to coast. We often fly and return back home to continue on with our individual lives not seeing each other until another trip. Kelly was always someone who I knew would make a great, personal friend however. Always wished I had known her better. Not only a wonderful daughter, sister, and aunt but a wonderful person to all those around her!

It always made me happy when Kelly was visiting Fort Worth. The love that she had for her sisters, parents, nieces and nephew was immeasurable and will always be remembered! Her beautiful smile will be remembered always and will be thought about each time I think of the beautiful heaven that has been graced by her presence.

Kelly will always be in my memories. She was a class act and it was nearly impossible not to laugh and smile and have a good time when she was in a room, or on a plane. She will be sorely missed and she leaves a small hole in the hearts of many. Make 'me laugh in heaven, sweet lady!
