Kelly Michelle Blount

November 12, 1982 - July 14, 2018

God blessed our lives on November 12, 1982, with the birth of Kelly Michelle Blount. He called her home on July 14, 2018, in Humble, Texas. Kelly was the very best daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a flight attendant for Mesa Airlines, and she loved her job. She had a passion for travel and lived her dream seeing a lot of the world. She loved animals, even bugs! She was a member of the ASPCA and a firm believer in their cause. She believed we should all do our part in protecting the earth and its resources. She was a graduate of the Walker High School class of 2000 and a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University with a degree in international business. She taught English in China for over a year and studied their language. She loved God, spending time with her family, and adored her nephew, Abe Barner. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her parents, Boyd C. Blount and Deborah Blount; sister, Megan Barner; nephew, Abe Barner; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, great friends, and her dog, "Puppy." She is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Boyd and Lois Blount; and maternal grandparents, James and Mary Jane Schwartz. Our precious Kelly, our hearts are shattered, but we will meet again. We will always love you, and we will cherish your memory. Pallbearers will be Bobby Achord, Randy Lilak, Regan Lilak, Brennan Adamek, Steve Bond, and Jason Halphen. A special thanks to Christ’s Community Church, Mesa Airlines for helping us get Kelly home, Jeremy McLin, and best friend, Jennifer Rosenthal.
