Kelly Hurst Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 10, 2023.

Kelly Marie Hurst, age 48, a resident of Plainfield, Illinois and formerly of Hickory Hills and Orland Park, passed away Wednesday, December 28, 2022.

Kelly made you laugh until your sides hurt. She was witty, a legendary prankster and EVERYONE'S favorite person. Kelly was beautiful, smart, thoughtful, caring and talented in so many ways. However, her superpower was her ability to build genuine, meaningful connections with everyone she met.

Kelly made you feel special.

Kelly is survived by the loves of her life, Kathryn Samoska and Frankie Roppolo.

Cherished sister of Colleen (Bill), Theresa (Dave), Becky (Keith), Katie (and hopefully Tom one day), Jerry (Melissa), Mark (Meg) and Matt (Laura). Bonus parents Jerry Krawiec and JoEllen Hurst. Caring aunt of Kyle, Ryan, Mitchell, Tyler, Scarlett, Savannah, Preston, Shawn, Joey and Madisyn. Dearest niece of Don and all the Altman cousins. Beloved best friend of 24 years Megan Kranc. She leaves behind her favorite boss Jamie Wilcox, our large extended family, cousins and hundreds upon hundreds of friends. She will be missed by all who loved her.

Kelly joins our Grandparents Mickey & Gladys Cunningham, Aunt Karen, our mom Kathryn Cunningham Krawiec and dad Peter Hurst in Heaven.

Celebration of Life will be Saturday, January 7th 2023 from 2pm until 7pm at Villas at Fox Run Clubhouse 16651 S Fox Run Cir, Plainfield, IL 60586

Christmas at The Dalstrom I believe it was 2008. Colleen slaving over Christmas dinner, turkey and ham are done. What's that smell? Can it be, no no way. The aroma is now strong. Not turkey hmmm. Ham, no. Colleen walked to the closet,she opens the door. Bam the smell of a petting zoo fills the house. Kelly the prankster, a misfit of best kind. Stink boom's, not just one, no that was not funny anuff , in all the closet in the Dalstrom home she planted them. Colleen blows a gasket, Kelly Jr (Terrance) is dieing on the floor, so funny I think to my self. Then Terrance grabbing her coat to go smoke, bam hit again 2 stink boom's in her coat. One in each pocket. Till this day this was the best prank to us all. Lol

Kelly was the best sister you could ever ask for. We have been by each other's side for all 48 years. From running the streets of Hickory Hills to moving to Orland Park, where we had the happiest part of our childhood. I have so many fond memories of walking to Orland Mall the summers of 1988 & 1989 and working together our whole lives (Kismet, Chi-Chi's, McDonald's and 13 years in Real Estate). We shared a bedroom for 18 years and used to lay awake at night telling each other about our day. Then we got 2 different apartments together and experienced all of life´s firsts. When Kelly moved to Alabama, it didn´t keep us apart. We talked every day at work. As adults, we realized how nice both our bosses were that they never called us out on the huge long distance phone bills $$$$ we must have racked up. I was so happy when she moved home and brought me an amazing little niece! I was even more happy when she gave me a wonderful nephew. I´m so grateful we worked together these last 13 years. If you have an opportunity to work with your family do it! It takes your relationship to a whole other level. There are no words to describe how bad I miss you Kelly. You will live inside my heart forever.
