Bozhe, bozhe, bozhe (a Ukrainian phrase to be said with a shaking head and rolling eyes) did the heavens ever rumble today. Kelly Burrell is a wife, a mother, a sister, a team mom and a friend to many, who entered the gates of heaven on February 8th, 2026. Even though through the years her health should have slowed her down, Lord knows there was never a day that her spunk didn't show. Kelly knew how to draw the attention as soon as she walked in the door as well as be the person who knew how to make everyone laugh and feel right at home. She was considered a second mom to many and "Grandma Kelly" to the neighborhood kids.

She was born in Windsor, Ontario in 1958 and moved to Pasco in 1972. She attended Pasco High School and later became a business college student who succeeded in a career of finance. In June of 1986, the lovebug struck by meeting Joe whom she married in December of 1986. They were crazy about each other and ended each day of her life with telling one another, "I love you madly".

In heaven Kelly will be joining her mother Lilah and brother-in-law Lee as well as many other family members and friends. Here on earth, she is survived by her hunk of a husband Joe, her children Mitty Moo (Brittanee), Zacy Monday (Zac), Aleasha, and Justin, her sister Shasha (Sandee), and niece Linnee (Lindsee). There are some four-legged friends who she wouldn't want forgotten Peanut, Bambi, Charlie, and Teddy who were amazing bedside "nurses" until her last day.

The family would like to personally thank the Performance Medical Respiratory Group, Apria, Dr. Tan, Dr. Rawat, Dr. Sharma & Sandy, the Walgreens Pharmacy on Court in Pasco, Dr. Cunanan and the Kadlec ICU Team. These are professionals who allowed us to love our mother and wife longer and helped our prayers be answered by giving us more time than we deserved. A special thanks to Pastor Einspahr who will help bless her to her final resting place. If you would like to commemorate Kelly with family and friends, please feel free to join us at Mueller's Greenlee Funeral Home in Pasco on February 20th, 2026 at 3:30pm. We will see you there if the Lord permits.
