Just learning of Kelly's passing.  Such an awesome person.  Kelly and I worked together at a local insurance company.  Kelly was an outstanding social worker and an even greater person.  She will be missed sorely in the social work community.  May she rest in peace.

I cannot begin to think of all the right words to say. Kelly was such a special person to me and I love her like a sister. We graduated from Tulane School of Social Work together but weren’t particularly close then. We lost touch, but she came back into my life in 2008. We began working together in 2009 and became really close friends. We enjoyed many laughs and lunch dates for soup which we both loved.   When we didn’t work together anymore we still managed to stay close. When I started a new job at the VA, I knew I wanted Kelly there with me. I begged her to come anytime there was an open position. FINALLY in 2018 she took a position and started working at the VA. Mission accomplished!!  I got to see her daily for almost 3 years. I’m so blessed to have known this angel.   She will be missed. Love you boo!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Kelly for almost ten years. There is so much she taught me! But I want to share a story that shows her character and loving spirit. I asked to meet with Kelly to tell her that I had decided to adopt a child and that the baby was due in 5 days and I would be on maternity leave starting immediately.  She responded with total joy, covered my patients without asking, lead the team in my absence and proceeded to organize the entire company to present me with a baby shower two days later. She organize the team to the point where I did not have to buy a single thing for the baby! She then packaged it all up and set it up at my house! When the baby came, she decorated my door with “it’s a boy” signs. She let me have 90 days maternity leave in total peace, covered all of my work without complaint, and provided me with encouragement, laughter and a calm feeling knowing that all was well with the team I left so hurriedly. I later learned that she had a wonderful offer from the VA during this time and managed to remain working for me to continue to cover my maternity leave and even waited for me to return and get my feet back on the ground before starting her wonderful job at the VA. She even helped me find and train her own replacement so that I wouldn’t have to worry and could focus on my new baby!  She did all this for me and we were not close friends outside of work. That is just who Kelly was. She saw a need and she helped. She did it with joy and asked nothing in return. My guess is that I am one in a hundred, or maybe a thousand, cases of being so greatly benefited by her giving spirit. She was one in a million. I miss her and wish I could have told her again how grateful I was to have known her. 

My deepest condolences to Rix and Kelly’s parents.   

I would see Kelly ‘s  parents at St Peter’s church for Mass on occasions. 

I was blessed to work as a team with Kelly when we worked together at PHN.   

Kelly was a kind, considerate person and a outstanding social worker. 

Kelly you ran the good race . 

God bless you and  May  you 
Rest In Peace .

I first met Kelly when she applied for a Social Work position at the VA.  Kelly came highly recommended, and she definitely lived up to her reputation.
As Kelly’s supervisor, I quickly realized that she was dependable and knowledgeable, but beyond that she was supportive of her peers no matter what she was going through in her own life.  Kelly’s infectious smile was a welcome relief in a workplace that is forever changing.  Kelly was at work even when she was having a bad day.
I feel very blessed to have known Kelly, and I know her support and positivity will be missed by all.  Heaven is lucky to have Kelly.  My thoughts are with her family at this time.
