Kelsie Marie Parton, 36, of Prairie Grove, Arkansas passed away on January 29, 2022, in the loving company of her mother and her sister after a brief battle with a critical illness.

Kelsie graduated from Hannibal High School in 2003. Kelsie was passionate about helping others which was evidenced by her many years working in a preschool and devoting countless hours to helping adults with disabilities in St. James, Missouri. In May 2021, Kelsie relocated to Arkansas to be closer to family. She enjoyed months of amazing times in fellowship, love, and laughter.

Kelsie will be remembered for her new found zest for life and jovial personality. She had a beautiful spirit that touched everyone she met. Kelsie loved spending time with her family, especially Sunday's at her moms filled with fishing, crafting, and family dinners. Kelsie also had a passion for animals and loved snuggling her cat, Chester.

Kelsie is survived by mother and step father, Jessica (Allerheiligen) and Todd Bridgeman, her sister and sister in law, Cassidy and Leslie Chapman, her grandparents, Ron and Marilyn Allerheiligen, her uncle and aunt, Jon and Deana Allerheiligen, her uncle, Terry Kincheloe, and many cousins.

Kelsie was preceded in death by her beloved father, Steven Parton, and great grandparents, Arnold and Mildred Allerheiligen, and Clara Kincheloe.

An intimate family celebration of life is planned.
