Kaley was born on April 24, 2006, in Amarillo to John and Kelley Bilyeu. Kaley was a lifelong Pampa girl who just recently graduated from Pampa High School. During high school she was a three-year member of the PHS cheerleading squad, and served as a cheer captain, she participated in the National Honor Society, student council, and choir, where she particularly loved being a part of the musicals. Kaley was also a long-time member of Dance Academy of Pampa, where she was a member of Pampa Civic Ballet, studying under Deanna McGill for several years.

After graduating high school, Kaley started her journey to become a Pediatric Nurse. Kaley was currently enrolled at West Texas A&M University working towards her goal to serve children to the very best of her abilities. She always had a smile on her face, whether it was when she woke up or was going to bed, Kaley was always smiling. There were several things that brought her joy, spending time with her family, her boyfriend, Tucker, babysitting the Sprouse boys, and her relationship with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. One of her many attributes was that she was a gentle and kind soul who always wanted inclusion for anyone that could be on the outside. Kaley had a beautiful glow that anyone could see, and she brought much joy to all those who liked and loved her. 

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Rickey Brown; paternal grandfather, John Bilyeu, and Bill Gilreath.
