Kelsey Elayna Perkins Jean Obituary
Kelsey embraced life with a spirit of adventure, traveling to new places with her cherished family. She found joy in nature, running, hiking, yoga, journaling, baking, and road trips. Her dedication to her family was unparalleled, and she took immense pride in being a devoted mother and loving wife. Her passion for animals was evident in her work as a fear-free veterinary technician, where she was known for her compassion and kindness.
Kelsey is survived by her husband of nine years, Michael Jean, and their two children, Harper Evelyn and Michael Robert Jr. She leaves behind her mother, Kelley Griffith, and her partner Raymond of Phenix City, Alabama; her father, Greg Griffith, and his wife Sherry of Dadeville, Alabama; and her sister, Brittany Griffith, and her partner Tyler Muniz of Auburn, Alabama. Her lifelong friend, Nakita Crabb of Opelika, Alabama, also mourns her loss.
Kelsey is also survived by her father-in-law, Robert Jean Jr., and his wife Rhonda of Dublin, New Hampshire; her siblings-in-law, Cole Jean of Jaffrey, New Hampshire, Kelsey Jean Bellino and her husband Pat of Milford, New Hampshire, Ashley Burdin of Keene, New Hampshire, and Nick Burdin of Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Her mother-in-law, Barbara (RainLovekin) Koenig, formerly of Massachusetts and currently of North Carolina, also survives her. Additionally, she is remembered by her uncle and aunt, David and Samantha Hendricks of Enterprise, Alabama, and their children, Everly and Jenna Grace, along with numerous extended family members, friends, and colleagues.
Kelsey's radiant spirit and loving nature will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

I remember the day we were cooking for a solstice family party. I was learning how to make humus and you were baking cookies. We were laughing, singing, and dancing to music. I just remember us saying "oh this would be good". They were a big hit at the party. To this day we have yet to figure out or remember what all we put in them.

I remember the day we were cooking for a solstice party. I was learning how to make humus and you were making cookies. I just remember is laughing and singing and we just kept adding ingredients to the cookies. They turned out to be a big hit and we have yet to figure out what all we put in them.

Our first date, your first motorcycle ride in almost a decade and a walk to your favorite place in Chewacla, was the day I knew I would marry you. I love you.
