Kelsey graduated from West Sioux High School in 2011. She went on to La James International College in Fort Dodge where she studied massage therapy. Kelsey was married to Jason Peed in October, 2014.
Kelsey had a heart of gold. She was a wonderful, caring sister. She was very supportive and acted as a great role model for her siblings while they were growing up. Kelsey was a friend to all she met, including every animal. She loved to spend her time drawing and singing. She could find the good in any situation and cared for all those around her first. Kelsey finally realized true love when she had her son, Michael Lee. Kelsey was an amazing mother to Michael. Her love for her son is what we will remember her for and her spirit will live on through him.
