To those who knew her, Kellyn was a force of nature — equal parts warmth, wisdom, and wit. Whether she was leading a yoga class, working on a new art project, volunteering at community events, or simply catching up with friends over coffee downtown, she brought her whole heart into every moment. Her laugh was infectious, her presence grounding, and her outlook on life both inspiring and authentic.
Kellyn had a deep appreciation for nature and often found peace hiking the hills of Mount Diablo, exploring California’s coastline, or walking the trails near home. She was a lover of music, literature, and spontaneous adventures, always eager to try something new or spark a meaningful conversation.
She was also a dedicated friend — the one who showed up when it mattered most. Whether offering a listening ear, thoughtful advice, or just a comforting presence, Kellyn made people feel seen and valued. Her passing leaves a deep void in the lives of all who were lucky enough to call her a friend.
Kellyn is survived by her loving parents, siblings, extended family, and a wide circle of friends who will carry her memory forward with love and gratitude. In honoring her life, we remember the light she brought into the world and the kindness she shared so freely.
A celebration of life will be held, where loved ones are invited to gather, share stories, and honor Kellyn’s incredible spirit. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a local mental health or arts organization in her memory — two causes close to her heart.
Though her time with us was far too short, Kellyn Hansen will be remembered always — for the love she gave, the joy she spread, and the beautiful mark she left behind.
