In her free time, Kelly found joy in simple, meaningful pursuits such as gardening, crafting, and cooking. Kelly was the woman who always wore mismatched socks. She had a deep love for the outdoors and especially enjoyed hunting, deer hunting with black powder rifles, and off-roading adventures.

More than anything, Kelly cherished the time and love she shared with her husband, children, and grandchildren.
