The family of Kelbey Danielle Walls will host a gathering of family and friends from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Thursday, March 21, 2024, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. A service to celebrate her life of 22 years is scheduled at 2:00 PM on Friday, March 22, 2024, at First Church of the Nazarene, followed by a graveside service at Peaceful Gardens Memorial Park Cemetery.
Kelbey was born February 13, 2002, to Steve and Kayla Walls in dramatic fashion, beating the odds that the medical world said stood in her way.
Kelbey loved spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed reading Christian books and dreamed of writing one of her own one day. She loved watching Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill, listening to Taylor Swift and she loved the challenge of a good jigsaw puzzle.
Kelbey came into her own during her high school years at KPA when she joined the theater program. She enjoyed acting in productions at school. Her favorite was the award-winning production of Abominable.
Upon graduating from South Plains College with her associate’s degree, she found her place working as the office manager for Jamie Stice, FNP. She loved her boss as well as serving each patient that walked through the doors.
Kelbey loved her family and friends fiercely. She loved her brother immeasurably, even though he loved to tease and annoy her, especially about her music. She loved Jude more than life itself and called him one of her best friends. She enjoyed getting to help him with his homework (specifically his math homework because no one else could figure it out).
Her infectious laugh and beautiful smile could brighten up any room. She didn’t love to have attention on herself but her personality, her love for Jesus, and her gorgeous curly red hair always made her stand out in a crowd. You were lucky if you had the pleasure of knowing her.
Kelbey is survived by parents, Steve, and Kayla Walls; sibling, Casey Walls; grandparents, Kenneth (Queda) Crutchfield; aunts, Shonda Crutchfield, Sherilyn Crutchfield, Brynne (Cody) Ross, Kymberley (Bruce) Maddox; cousins, Jude Crutchfield, Wyatt Ross, Kasyn Ross, Luke Maddox; and numerous other cherished family and friends.
She is preceded in death by grandparents, Richard and Donna Walls.
Kelbey passed away on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.
