Kelsey Walters
On June 8th, 2017, surrounded by her family, God took Kelsey Walters, 29, of Ashtabula, wrapped her into his loving arms and peace, freed her of her disease and gave her everlasting life. Kelsey left behind a legacy as a very loving, kind, nonjudgmental person. To everyone she touched in any manner, the greatest respect you can give her is to keep a piece of her heart in yours.
Kelsey graduated from Edgewood Sr. High in 2006 where she was a member of the chorus, The Edgewood Swim Team, and very much enjoyed playing softball and volleyball. She was also a member of the Ashtabula YMCA Swim Team where she enjoyed an incredible amount of comaradarie and lasting friendships. Kelsey had a passion for photography and an unending love for animals. She dedicated her career to children by working with Kids Only and Ashtabula County Head Start. Kelsey was a strong, active and faithful member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Conneaut, Ohio. With that being said, she knew that in all ways God would guide her through her battle and give her peace.
