Kelly Ruth Keaton, born on July 26, 1970, graced this world with her kindness and compassion until her untimely passing on September 25, 2024.
In her time, Kelly touched the lives of many, not only through her profession but also through boundless capacity for love and understanding.

Her patients were often greeted with a gentle smile and an attentive ear, as she went above and beyond to ensure they felt seen and heard. Her nurturing nature extended far beyond the walls of her workplace, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Kelly’s heart held a love that was immeasurable, especially for her son, who preceded her in death. The bond they shared resonated in the stories she would lovingly recount and the warmth she carried with her. Her son, forever a part of her spirit, inspired her to embrace life fully.
Travel was another passion of Kelly’s; she reveled in the beauty of exploring new places, cultures, and experiences. Each journey enriched her life, and her tales of adventure never failed to stir wanderlust in those around her. Yet, it was the quiet moments spent reading and sharing stories that filled her heart with joy and allowed her to reflect on life’s beauty.
At home, Kelly cherished countless hours with her beloved fur baby, Mollie. Their bond was a source of comfort and companionship, a reminder of the simple joys that life has to offer. Whether taking long walks or curling up with a good book, Mollie was by her side, a steadfast companion through all of life’s ups and downs.
Kelly Ruth Keaton leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and an unwavering spirit. Those who knew her will forever carry the light of her love in their hearts, honoring the beautiful soul who embodied love in its purest form.
