Kelley Muckleroy Obituary

Kelley Marie (nee Haught) Muckleroy was granted her angel's wings and soared gently into her heavenly Father's house on August 10, 2010.

She will be reunited in Heaven with sons, Jamie and Marc; her father, Michael Haught; brother, Johnny Haught; sister-in-law, Debbie Haught; and nephew, Jason Sigal.

She leaves behind, her loving and faithful husband, Jerry; her sons, Andrew (Amy) and David; her ``earthly angels' who are her grandchildren, Abbigail, Andrew, Adlynn, Anthony and Aubreigh.

She is also survived by mother, Marilyn Haught; brothers, Mike (Cheryl), Mark (Lisa), Matthew Haught; sisters, Patti (Mike) Sigal, Colleen Brown, Andrea Smith; leaving a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.

Kelley was employed as a director at Kozmic Korner Day Care, where hundreds of children were touched by her kind and gentle heart. Each of the kids there were treated as her own. She always felt as though her employees and staff were part of her extended family.

Have you ever met somebody who emanated love, who was always there to listen and who offered kind and loving words whenever they were needed? Somebody whose eyes held a gentleness beyond words and whose heart overflowed with love, laughter and kindness? Somebody whose very nature was to nurture and to mend? Whose simple and stoic presence made you feel that everything was okay? If so, you have been as blessed as all of us who were fortunate enough to have Kelley in our lives. She has left a legacy that will be forever unmatched, and a world full of broken hearts.

At her request, cremation has taken place. A Memorial service will be held at Cox Funeral Home, 222 Norton Ave., Barberton, OH 44203, Friday, August 13, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. Calling hours will be from 4 until time of service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family, through Cox Funeral Home, to assist with her arrangements. (Cox, Barberton, 330-745-3311)

My dear Aunt Kel. I can't even find the words to tell you how much you will be missed. You mean the WORLD to me and to so many people. Life will just not be the same without you. You were my reason, the one who helped me make sense of the chaos, the one who helped me keep things in perspective. I love you so very much and there will forever be a hole in my heart. You were more than my aunt, you were my friend and my heart.
Rest in peace Aunt Kel, you will be deeply missed.
I love you- Courtnick ;)

My children have attended Kozmic Korner Daycare for over 5 years. Every morning when we walked in, it was Kelley's beautiful smiling face we would see. We feel very blessed to have had her in our lives, and I am forever grateful to her and that 8 hours of her day was spent loving my children along with many others. My children also understand that heaven was in need of a very special angel. Kelley will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless

Jerry,A.J. And Dave,

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget

My sympathy goes out to all of Kelley's family. I can only guess how great it was to have her in your lives. I only knew her through work, but I know she was a very special person. Her calm, peaceful manner kept others strong in crisis situations. Kelley had a way of making others feel special, kids as well as adults. I will always remember how great she was to my Mother. Mom thought Kelley was all there was! Kelley will be missed by many!

Kelley's Family,
Our children have attended Kozmic Korner for 5 years now, we just wanted to tell you how sorry we are to hear of Kelley's passing. She was the best caretaker for our children that we could ever ask for. We knew we could always count on her for everything. She saw us through our hard times and our good. We couldn't believe it when we heard and when we told our kids she went to heaven we told them because God needed a special Angel. We are so sad she is gone and we are so sorry everyone has lost such a great woman! You are in our prayers.

Dear Family,
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for the loss of Kelley. It bring great sadness and a sense of emptiness to my heart. The ones left behind are the ones who have to grieve and feel this pain. Kelley's life was a gift and is to be celebrated. She was a beautiful lady who touched many lives. She left a beautiful legacy for many child, expecially her own they will never forget her. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding and comfort your hearts during this time.
