Vannessa Klein

       Vannessa Jean Marie Klein-Williams 

            December 1986 – October 2025

It is with heavy and broken hearts that we share the passing of our beautiful, vibrant, and vivacious butterfly, Vannessa — a beloved mother, daughter, granddaughter, and niece — who left us unexpectedly this past Sunday.

Vannessa has been reunited with her Grandma Rita, Grandpa George, father Wade and is now at peace in the loving arms of her Savior.

She leaves behind her three beautiful children — Elaina, Elijah, and Maverick — and their father, Josh; her mother, Rochelle; her brothers, Jacob (Bubba), Caleb, Joseph, Gabriel , Nick ; her sister Ashley; her uncle, Mitch; her aunt, Mandy; and her grandpa, Jim, along with many cherished family members and dear friends.

From a young age, Vannessa was a mover and shaker — always on the go and full of life. Whether it was Girl Scouts, t-ball, volunteering, crusading for a greener planet, or visiting her Minnesota family, she never missed a chance to connect with those she loved. A proud member of the National Guard, one of her greatest accomplishments was traveling to Moldova to help provide dental care to those in need.

Vannessa’s bright, shining spirit was impossible to miss. Her smile lit up every room, her laugh was contagious, and her heart overflowed with courage, hope, and love. She poured that love into her children — teaching them, taking them on adventures, and being the best “mamma” she could possibly be.Vannessa will forever be missed and never forgotten. We find comfort in knowing her spirit will continue to shine down on us like the brightest sun.
