Holly M. Kesler, 49

Holly Mae Kesler, 49, died in an auto accident on November 29, 2013, while on her way to visit family in Coeur d'Alene.

Holly was born December 14, 1963 in Santa Cruz, California to Billy D. Sipes (deceased) and Mitzi Burns of Post Falls, Idaho. Holly was a proud graduate of Coeur d'Alene High School, Class of 1982. She married her high school sweetheart, Reuben D. Kesler on June 18, 1983, and this past June celebrated 30 years of marriage. In 1995 Holly and Reuben moved to Everett, Washington where Holly continued to work with Washington Mutual and later for Premera Blue Cross.

Holly is survived by her husband Reuben, daughter Carlee Mae, and mother Mitzi Burns; sisters Sherry Bullard of Coeur d'Alene, and April Bumbaugh of Post Falls; brothers Dennis Bullard of Clarkston, Washington, and Bill Sipes of Sumner, Washington; plus numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her beloved in-laws Carlton and Jean Kesler of Coeur d'Alene, and Jason and Kelly Kesler of Spokane, Washington.

Holly was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and auntie. She will be profoundly missed. We take comfort in knowing she is with our Lord and Savior (directing a special project for him no doubt), and we all look forward to seeing her again.

A service to celebrate Holly's memory will be held at the Lifeway Chapel in Post Falls, Idaho at 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 4th.
