Keely Johanna Stumpf was born on April 4, 1986 in Tacoma, Washington. She passed away on Saturday, January 20, 2007. Not a really long life, but it was a life lived with a quality that should be exemplified. All you really need to know about Keely was she cared. If she saw suffering, she tried to heal it. It didn't matter if it was to comfort her grandma when her grandpa died, or nursing a pet back to health that was sick. She wanted to help and she always did it with the biggest brightest smile you could imagine. Because we believe that all that God really asks of us is to take care of each other, we know that Keely is now with God and waiting for the rest of us. Keely is survived by her father John Stumpf, her mother Debra Tripp, her sisters Jessica, Laura and Hattie, her brother Wade, grandparents Bob and Dorothy Stumpf, Don (deceased) and Georgeann Hardwick. She will be deeply missed by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Keely will be remembered as a person who was loved by anyone who met her because she was easy to talk to, no matter who you were. She also had a love for animals big and small. She was a good person who wanted to help where she could and always with a big bright smile. All that we can hope for is that the peace Keely wanted for the world is brought about by those left behind and that same peace is with her now in Heaven.
