During this time, she worked in the Dane County, Cook County, and Waupaca County Court Systems. She was known as being a true professional and a proud and active member of the National Court Reporters and Wisconsin Court Reporters Associations.
Kelly was an avid Packer and Badger fan. She adored and shared stories of her nieces to her closest friends. Kelly was also as an animal lover and was so proud of her late dog Oden whom she referred to as a "handsome man" and her Bassett Gus who she would call "my little baby". Kelly had an amazing personality, smile and her laugh was both adorable and contagious. She was also an extremely generous person donating both her time and money for so many. Her contributions were numerous, and one of the most memorable was where she volunteered her reporting services to the Veterans Project, recording personal accounts of history from veterans, many of whom were wounded and aging.
Kelly is survived by her brother Brian Powers of Hortonville; Michelle Powers; her nieces: Brittany and Erin Powers; and many close friends and relatives. Kelly is preceded in death by her parents Wilfred and Joan Powers as well as her infant brother Michael.
