Kelsey worked as a lockbox processor for an IT company before recently beginning a job as a      receptionist at a physical therapy office. She was proud of her new job and it was a perfect fit for her wonderful personality.

A true gearhead, Kelsey loved everything about sports cars. She looked forward to the trips to see here dad where they would drive Lamborghinis and other fast cars on the track. Kelsey enjoyed watching movies, her favorite movie was The Fast and the Furious and she idolized Paul Walker. She also enjoyed listening to music and had a hidden talent of remembering song lyrics. Kelsey traveled all over the world with her family. When she went up north, she would hunt for and collect petoskey stones. Kelsey liked craft beer and was proud that she logged over 250 types of beer into the app Untappd. Playing cards and boardgames was another favored activity she shared with her family. Kelsey was a true Red Wings fan with, of course, Tomas Holmstrom being her favorite. Living in a divided house she decided to root for the University of Michigan alongside her stepdad. Kelsey was a gentle, beautiful soul without a mean bone in her body. She was very giving and an incredible gift giver.
