Left to mourn are her mother, Darlene (David) Kelly; daughter, Kyra Reeves, at home; and sister, Alicia (Kevin) Rand, Canning. She will be beyond missed by her bestie, Kyla Hiltz. She is also survived by her grandmothers, Joan McDougall and Myrtle Kelly; other siblings, Ang, Jen, Missy, Kim and Christopher; nieces, nephews and extended family.
