Kellie was a graduate of Guilford High School where she played field hockey and was the editor of the yearbook. For two years in high school, Kellie received both a yearbook award and a coaches’ award for field hockey. She was also awarded a Rotary college scholarship and the Ted DeLauro Scholarship. When she died, Kellie was a senior at Siena College in Albany, NY, where she was a social work major and member of the women’s rugby team. Kellie was an active parishioner and peer minister at St. George Church in Guilford and went on several mission trips to Haiti. She loved the water and spent several years as a lifeguard and swim instructor.
