Hi, my name is Sierra Whaley, and it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share the passing of my mother, Kristen Marie Whaley, on July 7th, 2025. Our family is very devastated and still trying to come to terms with how life is going to be without our beautiful mother.

Our mother was the brightest light in our life, known for her beautiful smile, contagious laugh, her passion and love for elephants. The abundance of love and the dedication she had for her family and friends was just absolutely incredible and will never be forgotten.

We would love to give our mother, Kristen Whaley, the memorial service we feel she deserves and gather to share all the wonderful memories she left behind with everyone and how much she has touched their hearts. With the unexpected cost, we are reaching out for support to help make this possible for my mom. All contributions will go directly to cremation and service costs.
