She was involved with every aspect of Children’s Theater, ranging from being Playtime Poppy to giving backstage tours to elementary school groups. As a recent member of PEO, Chapter LU, she served on the Program Committee. Kelly was recognized with the Unsung Hero Volunteer award.

She volunteered in multiple schools and served on the Linn-Mar Foundation Board.

Kelly served as the Wilkins volunteer coordinator for two years. She co-chaired the volunteer placement for Supernova, the vocal music department’s fundraiser. One of Kelly’s greatest joys was meeting new people and spending time with friends. Her presence will be missed. Kelly was a devoted wife and mother.
