Thanks to family, friends and caregivers in Asheville for your wonderful support over the last five years. Thanks to the caregivers at Mission Hospital for your kindness and grace over the past few days. A special thanks to the entire Asheville community for embracing Kelley with your warmth and tenderness along the way. She loved being a part of this community. Kelley Stadler was AMAZING. She was strong-willed, freakishly smart and fiercely independent. She was beautiful, had a great sense of style, and was a fantastic dancer. Everyone who knew her knows she was creative, spontaneous, unconventional and a risk-taker. These qualities, combined with a great sense of humor resulted in numerous hilarious stories. Her daughters describe the time she dressed up as a police officer for Halloween to go trick or treating with them and unknowingly tried to “arrest” an undercover policeman. She called one of her grandmothers, Grandma Weiner, and put her other 90 year-old grandmother in a headlock. Both of them loved her fire and her silliness. She was passionate and compassionate and had an amazing ability to connect with others in a deep and meaningful way. Kelley was a home schoolteacher, soccer coach, camp counselor, Girl Scout leader, birthday party extraordinaire and Disney director. In short, she was a leader. The most important thing in her life was being a mother, teacher and friend to her daughters, Storey and Maddey. We love you Kelley. Rest in peace.
