Kellie was born June 18, 1981, in Barrington, IL to her parents Robert and Diane Krause. Kellie graduated Huntley High School in 1999 and continued her education at Upper Iowa University. Soon after college she met the love of her life, Dan Bell, married on October 11, 2008, had two incredible children together, ran a female owned construction company, and moved to Texas to continue building their lives together.
Kellie was an avid shopper, one of the most giving people you’ve ever met, she loved spending time on the family boat, taking a motorcycle ride, or traveling to a new place. She had hidden talents such as balloon animal art, an eye for décor, a sense of style, and a passion for makeup. She was always the life of the party and so charismatic that everyone wanted to be her friend. Whether it was planning an event or prepping the perfect Halloween costumes, Kellie always went to the extreme in a way only Kellie could.
Kellie is survived by her husband Dan, their two children Lincoln and Thatcher, father and mother Robert and Diane Krause, brother Ryan Krause, sister Kimberly Baresel (Greg), father-in-law and mother-in-law Dennis and Linda Bell, sister-in-law Barb Rann (Russ), brother-in-law Brian Bell (Julie), as well as her nieces, nephews, and her beloved family and friends.
