    • Full Obituary

      Kelly Jo Waymoth Holtgrave, 38, of Pierron, IL, died Sunday, February 17, 2019, at St. Joseph Hospital, Highland, IL.

      Kelly was born May 30, 1980, to Loren “Sonny” and Dot (nee Workman) Waymoth, in St. Louis, MO. In September 2013, she married Patrick Holtgrave.

      She was a member of Evangelical United Church of Christ in Highland, IL.

      Kelly was a good mother, free spirit, intelligent, hard headed and a go-getter. She was loyal and would help anyone she could—she had a big heart. Her smile could light up a room. She was a natural born sales person, a true entrepreneur, a blackjack player extraordinaire, but never played by the rules only by the gut. Kelly was a good friend, a good listener, the sister you could tell your secrets to and not judge you.

      She is survived by her husband, Patrick Holtgrave, Grantfork, IL; daughter, Summer Rayne Holtgrave, Grantfork, IL; brother, Terry (Bobbie) Waymoth, Highland, IL; sister, Kim Waymoth and spouse, Arnold, MO; nieces, Keisha, Roxanna, and Zoie; great niece and nephews, Kinley, Zayden, Chase.

      She was preceded in death by her parents, Sonny and Dot Waymoth.

      Memorials may be made to Summer Holtgrave (for her future education).

      A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

      Meridith Funeral Home, Highland, IL.

      Her family was our neighbor on the other side. She and Melissa were buddies and would do the goofiest things- it was always entertaining! She was the only child I ever knew who could belch the entire alphabet! Yes; we will cherish the memories of Kelly! All that matters of our life and our dreams is the love we leave behind when we’re gone.

      So sad and sorry to see her leave so soon. I’m so thankful I seen her a week before she passed. We had a nice conversation and I’m thankful for the time we spent. God bless her and her family.
