Kellie Marie DeSander, born on October 22, 1963, in Saginaw, Michigan, passed away peacefully on September 11, 2025. Kellie was a truly caring individual, dedicated to her family and friends throughout her life.

Kellie's contribution to her community extended beyond her warm presence and nurturing spirit; she served honorably as a Fork Lift Operator. This role exemplified her commitment to teamwork and diligence, qualities she carried with pride into all aspects of her life.

Kellie is survived by her beloved children, Terry Adams and Danyell Adams, who were lights in her life and sources of immense joy. She is also survived by her devoted sister, Tanya DeSander Smith, who shared countless memories and cherished moments with her.

Kellie was preceded in death by her parents, Terry Adams and Carolyn Fissette, whose love and guidance shaped the wonderful person she became. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

As we remember Kellie, we celebrate not only her life but the profound impact she made on those around her. Her caring nature, unwavering love, and commitment to family will forever resonate in the lives of her children and sister. She will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
