Lakewood , Washington

Keely Stumpf Obituary

Keely Johanna Stumpf Was born on April 4, 1986 in Tacoma, Washington. She passed away on Saturday, January 20, 2007. Not a really long life, but it was a life lived with a quality that should be exemplified. All you really need to know about Keely was she cared. If she saw suffering, she tried to heal it. It didn't matter if it was to comfort her grandma when her grandpa died, or nursing a pet back to health that was sick. She wanted to help and she always did it with the biggest brightest smile you could imagine. Because we believe that all that God really asks of us is to take care of each other, we know that Keely is now with God and waiting for the rest of us. Keely is survived by her father John Stumpf, her mother Debra Tripp, her sisters Jessica, Laura and Hattie, her brother Wade, grandparents Bob and Dorothy Stumpf, Don (deceased) and Georgeann Hardwick. She will be deeply missed by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Keely will be remembered as a person who was loved by anyone who met her because she was easy to talk to, no matter who you were. She also had a love for animals big and small. She was a good person who wanted to help where she could and always with a big bright smile. All that we can hope for is that the peace Keely wanted for the world is brought about by those left behind and that same peace is with her now in Heaven. The Rosary will be recited at 7:00 p.m. Friday, January 26th at Visitation Catholic Church, 3314 South 58th Street. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, January 27, 2007 at the church. A reception will follow in the church hall. The family suggests memorials be made to the charity of your choice. Arrangements are by Piper-Morley-Mellinger Funeral Home, 253-472-3353.

Keely,

Today I am remembering you and Johnny Winkler together on a park bench. You were both so full of joy in this life. Although we still try to understand why you were taken from us it is not for us to know. We love you both so much and we know you are both at peace.

Love, Aunti Karen

Thank you for being the best person you could be! You will always be in my heart.

Hey big sister, happy belated birthday girl! I know that you are up there watching down on Jessica, Laura, Wade, and I. You get to watch us all grow and form our lives day by day. Eventhough we are all making our lives out to how we want them to be as of right now, while making good memories.. I know that all three of us miss you so much Keely, and every single day that passes you are in our thoughts. Now that i am an adult, i look back at when you did pass away and i think to myself; I was so young when you were tooken from us and i just wish so badly that i could have had a little bit more time with you because i know that you would be my best friend. The way i remember you when i was little, i believe that you and i would do everything together because we would get along so well and love to do the exact same stuff. I find myself thinking a lot about how different my life would be if you were still here, and i just know with all my heart that i wouldnt have made some of the poor decisions that i have made in the last few years. For some reason, when i was little you were always the one that i looked up to for everything and now that you aren't here.. I almost feel lost. Please help guide me through the bad days i have. I love you with all my heart Keely and i cant wait until i get to see your beautiful face again. I love you !

My deerest Keely,
I can't believe its been 4yrs since you left. I miss you so much, its strange how we had soo much in common despite our age difference. I can say that I think about you often as I have an 18yr whom I see so much of you in her. As I sit here and read these entries, it just confirms how much you ARE LOVED and MISSED and how many lives you touched and impacted without even realizing it. Your a beautiful person and know you've never stopped watching and guiding us through our lives. You were such a pleasure to work with at the casino. I'm in childcare now and I feel like I see ou in some of these little kids, their ability to be so Happy and carefree and loving just like you. You are sooo missed Keely, God Bless You. To Keelys Family, my heart, love and prayers are with you today and always. I know the pain and sorrow of losing someone as special as Keely but remember that she is at Peace and with God and we will be reunited with her again. To her siblings, Never Forget or Doubt Keelys LOVE for YOU as she only had GREAT things to say about all of you. And to her parents, I know its very painful and hard and no parent should ever have to go through the pain and suffering of giving their child back to God, but there's a reason for all that he does in our lives and with our children and your daughter had only great things to say about you both. She said her beauty and that of her siblings was from mom, as people always thought you were their sister and her stubborness and persistance were from dad. You raised a great woman and for that you are blessed and should be proud.m

Keely,

I Hurt Because:
I'll never hear your voice again.
Becuz I'll never get a hello kiss or hug
becuz I'll never even get a bad word
becuz I'll never hear you voice again...
Because I miss
*your presence
*your knowledge
*your stubborness
*your beautiful face
*your piercing brown big eyes
*your beautiful body and dimples!
I Hurt because
*becuz of the expiernces times together
*the pains we shared
*the baby things that were so fun-filled with you wonderments.
*the growing up things
*Your adult things, so bewildering
*the intimate conversations that we shared
*the joys the downs that we shared
*I hurt *I hurt

Keely, It was a year ago tonight when I heard you left us. I wish there was something we could have done to still have you here. You’ve shown compassion and kindness and made a true difference in many lives including mine and for that, you’ll always be in my heart. I appreciate the little time I knew you and will never forget how amazing you really are. I’ve created a memorial site for you to show others how special you are and hope to help people when they need it the most. Hopefully we can make a difference in other people’s lives like you did ours. Thank you so much for just being you!

January 20, 2008

Keely, I can't believe that its been a year already. I had a flashback the other day about the good ol' days when we were just kids with no worries, playing on the property. I knew if I ever need any form of entertainment it was usually just a short walk away. I knew that if I ever needed a good laugh I could always just walk right next door and you could probably supply that laugh. Then as we started getting older life started getting harder. I may not have agreed with all your choices but I never stopped loving or caring about you. You and your sisters were like the sisters I never had and for that I am grateful. Rarely a day goes by when I'm not reminded of you in some way and when I come to visit it just doesn't feel right without you there. I love you more then you will ever know and I will always hold the memories close to my heart.

To Jess and Laura: I just want the two of you to know how much you mean to me and just know that I am here for you if you ever need anything. I admire the strength you two have shown in the past year. I love you girls and miss you so much.

John: I wish I could just be there to give you a big hug and tell you how much I admire the strength you have shown in the past year. You raised a wonderful girl and someone who will not be forgotten by any. I love ya

Debbie: although the last year has been difficult you have shown an immense amount of strength and just always remember you raised a wonderful daughter.

I love you all so much and wish I could be there will you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tina Ripley

Jess

January 19, 2008

Keely, I miss you so much... I can't believe a year has gone by without you. I still wish you were looking at me rather than after me. I know you are and for that I am thankful. To have such a beautiful wonderful little sister who always did and always will be there for me. I love you.

Debbie

January 12, 2008

I'm not liking this time of the year..theres no leaves on trees, it's extremely cold and miserable, and Im missing you more and more. I still think about you everyday, and I will continue to do so..I just wish some days I could spend time with my big sister, and make more memories like we had. Its still hard to think theyre all but memories now, no more to come. I love you more than you'll ever know.

Hey big sis,
well today is your birthday..I still cant let this sink in..I see you through my eyes everyday. There are so many things I wish I could have said to you, first off that I am sorry..I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me, I'm sorry for anything I ever did to hurt you,and I'm sorry for leaving you when I left for college. I'll never forget the last time I saw you,I can still remember the sweet scent of your perfume, and the way you told me everything is going to be alright, you were so beautiful. There is not one point of the day I dont think about you. Its so hard to be so far away, I feel like a huge chunk of me has just dissapeared. I wish I could say goodbye..give you one last hug and kiss..when I think about you all I can think about is how happy you are now. How you have no worry in the world, and I know you are here with me everyday hugging me telling me how much you love me. I never thought I could ever miss someone so much that it hurts, my heart and soul crys for you. I love you more than anything..Happy birthday KeKe..
Love always, LuLu

Your sister Jess

February 25, 2007

Keely, I woke up this morning from a dream.
Everyone was there, you were saying goodbye, telling them you loved them. Everyone expressed the fact they wanted to go with you. You just hugged and smiled, kept saying "I have to go. Its time." You were so beautiful. Your eyes lit up the room, like they always do. I kept following behind you, waiting for my hug. I wanted to go where you went. You kept looking back at me, smiling. I woke up before I got my hug... Keely, I will never say goodbye, I wont. I miss you so much. I know your with me, in my heart.

Crystal Shepard

She lived a good life and was loved very much by all of you. May you remember the joy she brought to each of you and may you be strong for each other.My thoughts are with you.

My Dearest Keely,
I miss you so much. I remember when you were little and I had to pick you up from school everyday because you didn't like to walk home. And the days I would help you clean your room, all the socks that were lost in the couch. The hours we spent trying to match socks! I watched you grow up to a beautiful young girl giving you hair cuts, putting on makeup, and doing our nails. I tried so hard to help you, but you would always say, "Don't worry Grandma, I can take care of myself." You always tried to help other people with your big heart and smile. The only way I can make sense of this is that I know God has a plan for you and he needed you more than we do. But I will keep you close in my heart until we meet again and when that day comes you will be the first one to meet me with your big smile and open arms saying "I love you Grandma." For now I'm saying goodbye Keely. I miss you and will love you always, Grandma Hubby.

Jamie Davis

Dear John, Jessica and Laura, as I scanned an old newspaper today the smile of a beautiful young woman caught my eye. When I read her name I was in shock and disbelief. It was little spirited Keely, always ready to play and be adventurous, our little neighbor-girl. - Words can't express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers.

Laura and Brent Brazil

It was a shock to find out about Keely. She was a free-spirited individual who loved life and the people around her. She will be missed deeply by many.
God bless to all of her family and friends. She is now another angel watching over us.

So sorry to hear of this today. I know the long process of grief. My heart, prayers and thoughts are with you Debra. Remember that even though these next days, months may be the darkest you have experienced yet, you will make it to the other side. It happens in spite of ourselves. Your loss is profound, allow yourself the grace to grieve.
