Kelly Kreeger was tragically killed on July 5, 2020, in mid-air collision over the lake at Cour D’Alene Idaho.  Kelly was a special woman who was an unstoppable supporter of the military and Law Enforcement. She loved flying and aviation and described herself as an aviation groupie.
Kelly served on many committees in Auburn, Ca, such as The Auburn Airfare, Honoring Bud Anderson Committee ( triple ace of World War II ) Honoring Bonnie Potter Committee (First Female Navy Admiral).  

 

The town of Auburn and her friends would like to show our gratitude for her contributions to a city she made shine by having a bronze plaque made in her honor to be placed next to the Bud Anderson statue in Auburn, Ca.  Kelly and Bud were dear friends.   




Any additional funds will benefit the charity of her family's choice.

The goal of the "Honoring Bonnie Potter Committe" is to raise sufficient funds in order to create a statue commemorating Admiral Potter and her accomplishments in addition to highlighting Admiral Potter as a role model for young women everywhere who wish to rise to the highest levels of leadership. The funds required to accomplish this goal are approximately $40,000.00. The statue itself will be created by renowned artist Douglas Van Howd.
