Obituary of Kelly J. Fairchild

Hilton: On the morning of March 25, 2015, at age 45, and after a courageous battle against cancer, Kelly passed peacefully surrounded by her family. Kelly never lost her positive attitude or her care and concern for her family and everyone around her. Kelly is survived by her sons; Zackary and Andrew Fairchild, husband; James A. Fairchild and her mother, Susan Paul; her sisters Tammy Smith & Jody States; and her brothers, Mike & Robert Coots. Kelly’s focus throughout her life was always on everyone around her, from Zackary, Andrew and Jim to the rest of her family, she continued to think of others before herself. She was a very efficient, detail-oriented woman, always ready with helping hands. She was never afraid to teach and show people how to do things the right way from the beginning, from balancing the checkbook to teaching coworkers her professional tasks. She and her family enjoy many outdoor activities. As her illness progressed, Kelly did not give up and her bright and cheerful attitude helped her and everyone get through difficult days. Kelly was a true inspiration to everyone she met. Family and friends are invited to attend Kelly’s calling hours Sunday, March 29th from 2-5 PM at the Thomas E.
