She is also survived by Susie Leonard, who, for at least the last 6 months, helped care for Kelly, especially during the last month. I also need to mention Andy Bowers' friends since they were children who lives in Germany.

I wish I could list her many best friends, and that is meant literally. She was best friends with many and considered them all as best friends; you all know who you are, please accept apologies for not being mentioned because you know how long the list would be.

She was a well-known pool player in the Quad Cities, winning Many league and local tournaments, including state championships. Her pool friends are vast both locally and across the country and really are like family.

She also has a great following of friends from high school, graduating in 1980 from UTHS.

She had an infectious smile and personality, made friends everywhere, talked to anyone, started conversations, and could carry them on forever

She worked at her family's business, Jerry Motors in Silvis, drove a truck for Hasty Tasty, worked at the Arc, East Moline Speedway, and other jobs, where she was always making new friends.

She will be missed by all.
