Lee RICHARDS KELLY Obituary

Lee was a tender soul, caring, sweet and loyal. She was a beautiful person, both inside and out. Lee had a great sense of humor and quick wit. She loved animals and frequently found rescue dogs and cats to give a loving home to. She also loved music and was a talented artist. Lee was proud to sing on her husband's album with her beautiful voice. Lee was a self-taught computer programmer and was employed by both the Gates Foundation and Microsoft at different times in her life. She graduated class of 1994 from Ferris High School (Spokane, WA).

Lee was survived by her loving husband, Kevin Kelly (Davenport, WA); brothers Eric Richards (Spokane, WA) and John Richards (Seattle, WA); sister-in-laws Cindy Richards and Amy Richards; mother-in-law Maureen Kelly; nieces and nephews Arlie, Henry, Payton, Emma, Ravenna; several cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Lee was preceded in death by her mother, Sandra Lee Richards, and her father, Michael Eric Richards.

Lee will be missed and her memory lives on in the hearts of all who love her.

I watched Lee grow up as she was a very close friend with our daughter Kristina. They had many antics together and she was just a joy to know - our thoughts with her family
