Kaylee was a kind and loving soul who didn’t know a stranger: to know her was to love her. She was instantly your best friend. Spending time with her family and siblings was truly her favorite thing to do. She loved to dance, sing, and be silly. Kaylee loved to read her favorite books were thriller and Amish romance novels. She loved bible study with her family. Kaylee lit up any room she was in. She loved Starbucks, hot chips with cream cheese, white chicken lasagna, and her grandma’s homemade lasagna. She was definitely a foodie. Kaylee also passed down her love for Justin Beiber and Taylor Swift to her siblings and little cousins.

Kaylee’s departure from her earthly home has given five other people life through organ donation. She is truly a superhero. In Kaylee’s own words, “I’m gonna live forever!”
