Kelly Utter's Funeral
Donation protected
Friday, September 26th, my mom Kelly and my little brother Joey, were heading into Stone Ridge to pick up dinner. Meanwhile, a drunk driver was speeding down Cottekill Rd, and blew through the stop sign, right as my mother and brother were driving through the intersection. Kelly and Joey were rushed to Kingston Hospital, where my mother was pronounced dead. This horrible, tragic accident took us all by surprise, and because one young man decided it was okay to get in his vehicle, and drive drunk, we are left devastated.
We lost an amazing, beautiful, talented, funny, and smart woman. A mother, a daughter, a grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. We are terribly heartbroken - never in a million years did we ever think the one thing that Kelly hated the absolute most (drinking and driving), would be what killed her.
If you know us well, you knew that we lived moderately: We had enough money to take care of bills, with little to spare. We always made it work, but this time money is extremely tight; we never thought we would have to be planning a funeral for our mother so soon. We need help.
Any money donated would be so deeply, greatly appreciated, and put directly towards the cost of Kelly's funeral.
