Kelly R. Seleyman , age 51 of rural Elwood, passed away Friday morning, August 26, 2022 at her home surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer.  She was born April 25, 1971 in Elwood, the daughter of Larry and Terrie (Bottoms) Sizelove.  Kelly grew up in Frankton and was a 1989 graduate of Frankton High School.  She worked for many years as a surgical tech at several area hospitals including St. Vincent Mercy Hospital in Elwood, Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, and St. John's Hospital in Anderson.  Kelly married Mark Seleyman on October 20, 1994, and they shared nearly 28 years of marriage together.

Kelly proudly founded Willow Place Women's Shelter in Anderson after much hard work and persistence.  She remained a Board Member and dedicated to the mission of the shelter.  She was a member of the New Purpose Ministries in Anderson, and she had a tremendous faith in the Lord.  Kelly always saw the best in people around her and never hesitated to help someone in need.  She and Mark personally took in numerous homeless individuals through the years with Kelly's passion of helping others.  Kelly was considered "second mom" to most of her children's friends. Kelly loved nothing more than hanging out at home on the farm, hosting Sunday family dinners, and spending time with her beloved grandchildren who lovingly called her "Nonny".  Mark and Kelly enjoyed traveling and were fortunate to have many memorable trips abroad together.  Kelly will be remembered for someone who lived her life to the fullest and expressed an unwavering faith in everything she accomplished and overcame.  She will never be forgotten.

Kelly's family legacy includes her husband, Mark Seleyman of Elwood; 4 children, Austin (wife Ted) Preston of Anderson, Allie Seleyman of Elwood, Aaron Seleyman of Elwood, and Abbi Seleyman of Elwood; brother, Kurt (wife Megan) Sizelove of Frankton; 3 grandchildren, Grayson, Harrison, and Nickson Preston of Anderson; special uncle, Jeff (wife Donna) Sizlove; in-laws, Al and Doris Seleyman of Edgewood; sister-in-law, Michelle Haweit of Geist; and many more extended family members.
