Kelly loved helping
people and enjoyed clerking at 2 FruGals Thrift in
Bloomington before opening Artful Market in Atlanta
with her best friend, Debbie Armstrong. Having
experienced the gift of her son’s cornea transplant,
Kelly was adamant about being an organ and tissue
donor.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations to be
made to Homes of Hope, 705 E Lincoln St., Ste #313,
Normal, IL 61761.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
