Kelly Heinz

Kelly Jeanne Heinz died on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 after a long battle with ovarian cancer.

She is survived by her five cats, Gonzo, Finster, Boog, Hermione, and Loki; her parents, Lawrence and Sharon Heinz; brother, Guy (Jerri) Heinz; sister, Wendy (Don) DeMeulenaere; brothers, Richard, Terry (Cindy), Paul (Sonia) and Larry (Dianne); and sister, Pattie (Bob) Kempinski. Kelly is also survived by her loving cousin, Dana (Gary) Cutler; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.

Kelly loved her cats. She loved all animals, but cats ruled. She enjoyed flowers and butterflies, even hatching butterflies every year so she could watch the changes they went through in their life cycle. Kelly loved Halloween. It was her favorite time of the year. She threw big Halloween parties for years, turning her garage into a ghoulish hangout.

Kelly's dream was to retire and start a cat rescue as all of her cats were rescues. There is no amount of words that can express how much Kelly will be missed. Our hearts are broken forever with her passing.

A Celebration of Kelly's life will be held at a later date. Please see Wendy DeMeulenaere's Facebook page for information when it's available.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Blue Water Area Humane Society or A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue.
