Keely’s Story

Site created on January 3, 2024

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


On Sunday, January 31, Keely exited the pool at her gym indicating her head hurt. Shortly after, she collapsed, and thanks to the quick response of the staff, EMS responded and transported her to the Lake Monroe (Sanford) hospital where she underwent surgery.


Her husband Bryce and son Max were still in Iowa spending time with his family for the holidays. Upon learning about Keely's hospitalization, Bryce flew back to Florida to be with her. Max is being cared for by his grandmother in Iowa and will return to Florida soon.
