Kelly Lee Lipscomb Hawn, 55, of Fredericksburg, Va. departed this world for heaven on Saturday, March 18, 2017, walking hand in hand with her brother, into the arms of God following a three and a half year courageous battle with cancer at home surrounded by her loving husband and family.

Kelly was a faithful member of Stafford Crossing in Fredericksburg and enjoyed playing softball on her church league team. She loved her hometown of Parsons and would return as often as possible. She enjoyed cross stitching, crafting, attending car shows, craft shows, movies, and concerts.
