I'm so sadened by this, but take comfort knowing she is at peace now. My deepest thoughs and condolences go out to her family. Kelly was truly an amazing woman who impacted so many lives, some of my fondest memories at w.c. taylor are in her library having a great time! Forever in our hearts, we will always miss you "Aunt Kel" <3

I'll miss you very much

She isThe Best Teacher I have none her my whole life since pre - school to 6th grade and i miss her so much

Kelly will be missed by all of us who knew and worked with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family now during this difficult time.

good library teacher for the years i was at taylor

The educational community of Trenton has once again lost a valued member way too soon. Jan Brown, Sue Begley, Cathy Weston, Richard Bryant, Howard Rushlow, Doyle McIntosh, Jim Whiteside, Jack Castignola are among those soon welcoming her home with open arms.

I had the privilege of being a colleague at Taylor Elementary School with her for several years. She showed great interest in making sure my special education students had the best media center experiences imaginable.

We shared an experience that probably wasn't duplicated with anyone else during her career--I rear ended her one day on Fort Street after school!!

Rest in peace, Kelly, and comfort be found for both families.

I was lucky to run into Kelly a while back and have a nice conversation and a laugh while she was out ill. You were always sweet and patient, and your family as well as your 'work' family of staff and students will deeply miss you. Here is wishing your spirit peace, and your family strength in the glow of your memory. I feel blessed to have known you, and am deeply saddened by your passing.

I remember Kelly as a super nice person. My prayers go out to her family.

I extend my sympathy to the Jankowski and Lhiva families. Kelly always had a positive and caring attitude in a position at Taylor Elementary that required a lot of transitioning throughout the day and week. She loved the Munchies, her career and her family. I'll never forget her big smile and one of a kind laugh. She and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You.

I worked across the hall from Kelly at Taylor Elementary School. Her smile was contagious! I always admired her perserverance in dealing with lupus. I will miss her greatly. Peace to Kelly and to all who miss her.

Ed, I want you to know that I am thinking of you in your time of sorrow. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. God Bless you.

With Love,

Sue (Whitlow) Reagan

We will never forget Kelly. We hung out as teenagers in AP and our paths crossed again at Trenton schools. She was a great person and will be truly missed by many people.

Eddie... I cannot begin to express how heart broken I am to hear about Kelly. She was a tough little lady. I don't doubt that she has found peace. Hopefully she found my dad up there and she is keeping him in line. Much love to you and the Lhiva Family - Kelly Patton

I worked with Kelly at Taylor Elementary School for a few years and was always in awe of how well she worked with the students, she was a great librarian, a great teacher, a great friend. She will be missed. She wrote me a great referral letter when I moved to the Ga. school system. Ed, I am so sorry.

I will remember all the good times I had with Kelly while we were growing up. We had so many fun times together. She was a wonderful person and the world will be smaller without her. Rest in Peace Kel and I'll see you on the other side. Collette

Ed I am so sorry to hear about Kelly. She was a caring and compassionate person and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

I enjoyed working with Kelly at Taylor Elementary School.She always had a great sense of humor. She will be greatly missed in the Trenton School System.

Just wanted to extend our deepest sympathies from the Killingback / Howard household. Our daughter, Madison, was a student of Mrs. Jankowski's and she thought she was a wonderful teacher. She will be truly missed by her students. - Jennifer Killingback

Ed, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I did not know Kelly but it sounds like she was a very caring and loved person and will certainly be missed.Take care. Teri H.

Our thoughts are with your family. May you rest in peace, Mrs. Jankowski ~ Olivia K and Family

Our family wa svery sad to hear of Mrs. Jankowski's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband and family. Our daughter Ashlyn had her for a teacher at Arthurs for 6th grade this past year and we enjoyed meeting her at the conference. We had a very dear cousin pass away from Lupus at the age of 38. Rest in peace Mrs. Jankowski. We will miss you very much.

Kelly, I lost a wonderful colleague today. You always had a beautiful smile on your face and were so eager to learn everything about Middle School. You fought such a hard disease of Lupus. God Bless you! You loved teaching and being part of our team. I admired your fight to always come back to school. I am proud to have known you. I will miss you forever. I hope you are now in a peaceful place and pain free. I love you and will miss you.

We love you all! You are in our prayers. Love, Nate and Chrissy

Ed, our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you and our Michigan family. Kelly's spirit and memories will always remain with us.

Ed, I am so sorry. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Michelle Whitlow

Please know you are in our prayers at this time and in the coming days. We love you and are here for you.

I remember when Kelly would sub for me at Good Shepherd School in Lincoln Park. After working with her at CGS, we were hired in the same year in Trenton. I will always remember Kelly and her kindness to everyone she met. I will also remember all the chats before, during and after school. She loved her profession and she always did what was best for the children. The world is a better place today because Kelly touched the lives of many people.

Thinking of all of Kelly's family and the students' lives she has touched over the years.
