KELLY ANN EPPERSON passed away peacefully on Dec 10, 2024 at the age of 66 after a long battle with COPD. Born August 17, 1958, the first of three children to Bradford (Buzz) E. Epperson and Phyllis J. Epperson (nee Hopper).

Kelly served most of her career as a Certified Nursing Assistant caring for others. She received her certification while working for the Delmar Gardens Corporation, where she was able to spend her remaining days following several short hospital stays.

Kelly was a friend to many, especially her life long best friend Cheryl Beussink (Meyer).  Having never had children, Kelly loved everyone’s children. She treated them as her own and was known to all of them as “Aunt Kelly”.

She is survived by younger siblings Melissa “Lynn” Whitcraft (Scott) and Randal “Randy” Epperson (Debbie -Deceased); nephews, Michael (Rachel), Stephan (Rachel), and Brad (Kristin); and great nieces Riley and Ella.

Per Kelly’s wishes, she will be cremated and her remains will be placed on family property during a private ceremony.
