"When Kelly started working on Labour and Delivery, she quickly became a valuable member of the team, both professionally and personally. She took incredible care of her patients and their families, ensuring they had the best birth experience they could. It was common to receive thank you notes from families, specifically thanking Kelly for her amazing care. She was trustworthy and competent in any emergency, and did it with a smile on her face. Kelly's conversations and sense of humor brought a positive energy to the unit, even on the most stressful, busiest days.

When Kelly had her own babies, she chose to deliver at the Peter Lougheed Centre Labour and Delivery. It was a gift to be able to help our beloved colleague become a mother herself, and the entire unit celebrated with her. 

Kelly was truly an exceptional nurse who worked hard, provided outstanding care, and brought such a positive energy every day. Her smile and laughter will always be remembered, and she will be forever missed by Peter Lougheed Centre Labour and Delivery."
