Kelly Kuretsch 61, of Pasadena, Texas passed away peacefully on September 28, 2025, in Spring, Texas. She was born on September 19, 1964, in Pasadena, Texas, to Lula Mae and Harold Gene Fritz.

On May 30, 1981, Kelly married the love of her life, Delphine “Dale” Kuretsch, at the First Baptist Church in Ganado, Texas. Their marriage was full of laughter, devotion and partnership – especially in raising their two children. Every Sunday, they carved out time just for each other, enjoying movies and meals out together – a tradition they cherished deeply.

Kelly was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother who lived her life with warmth, compassion, and joy. A proud homemaker, she was fully devoted to her children and deeply involved in their lives both in and out of school. She and Dale where hands-on parents – always present, always supportive.

Kelly also had a heart for service. She volunteered at the Geroge Memorial Library in Rosenberg, Texas, where her love of books and helping others came together. She also spent time as a teacher in Mother’s Day Out programs at multiple church locations, sharing her gentle spirit and caring with many young children.

She was a friend to all – kind, approachable, and full of laughter. Kelly had a deep love for music, especially 1980s pop. Some of her favorite artists included Depeche Mode, Bay City Rollers, Rod Stewart, and many more, Music brought her joy and connections, and it was often playing in the background of her life.

She is survived by her loving children, Gina Sue Kuretsch and Nathan Arnold Kuretsch, her cherished grandchildren, Jude Hulsey, Hyde Hulsey and Ryan Cocjin; and her siblings; Joe Thomas Fritz, Johnnie Bernhard, Carol West and Jo Ann Longoria. Her sister-in-law, Gayleen Lewis and brother-in-law Larry Kuretsch.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Delphine Kuretsch and her brother Chris Fritz.

Kelly’s legacy is one of love, laughter, service, and song. Her presence will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
