8 Tributes for “Kelly Springer”

    So sad to hear of her passing. She was always so nice to me and very welcoming when I first joined the Springer Family. I’ll never forget that. Her family is in my prayers.

    Kelly and family,

    I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. But I am grateful to hear of it. Kelly was one of the first people I interacted with when I joined Chef in 2014. She was kind and helpful as I started my sales engineering career, and I learned a significant amount of Sales process, and CRM from our time working together. And for Alexis, I, too, have experienced the sudden death of my mother and it is a truly sad moment. I have always found help in the belief that grief exists to remind us of the power the person had in our life. It is hard and I do not wish it on anyone, but the power of it is a reminder of the love you have for them.

    I had the pleasure of working with Kelly and Alexis several years ago. Kelly was a great person, and her loss diminishes the world. You’re in our hearts.

    She was so kind to me in high school. What a loss. I haven’t seen her since high school but I remember her heart of a lion and surpassingly beautiful attitude toward people, all people.

    I find this shocking! I can’t believe she passed. Such a lovely, kind, generous, patient woman. I was blessed she was my roommate for a short period in Seattle. I am so very sorry to her children, she spoke so warmly and lovingly about you.

    Kelly was so kind and full of life. I appreciated so much her sharing her wisdom. I too was given the Kelly treatment in starting at Chef and she welcomed me and gave me such helpful advice. I always imagined that we’d find ourselves back at the same companies one day because as big as the industry is, it’s also small and it’s always so amazing to come back together again after being apart.

    One thing that I really admired about Kelly is that she was a whole person. She was an amazing professional AND a mom all at the same time. In a time of change, she gave me some of that mom energy. Wishing her family peace and lots of love.

    So sorry to hear about Kelly’s passing. Her ever positive attitude and database wizardry was a gift to so many. She made coming to work fun.

    May her family and friends find peace in the days ahead.
