Kelly Haugen, passed away on Saturday, October 26, 2024 in Des Moines, Iowa - she was 50 years old.
Kelly was born February 18, 1974 to Alfred and Machele (Jackanicz) Boardman in Oak Park, Illinois. She grew up in Glendale, California and graduated Class of 1992 from Village Christian School in Sun Valley, California. A few years later, she married Larry Haugen Jr. in Palmdale, California.
Kelly and Larry had two children, Tanner and Taea. She spent the majority of her kids' formative years as a stay at home mom. As a parent Kelly strived to give her kids the best of everything. Kelly always made sure that her kids were well taken care of and made sure to keep a clean and orderly home for her family. Following Larry’s passing in 2013, Kelly obtained her CNA License and worked for Wesley Acres. She enjoyed being a caregiver and was a dedicated, hard worker.
Growing up, Kelly was a talkative, funny child who always wanted to put on shows for family and friends. She loved to eat good food, dance and watch her beloved Dodgers and Lakers & Vikings.
Kelly was preceded in death by her husband, Larry; and father, Alfred. She is survived by her two children, Tanner and Taea Haugen; mother, Machele Garza; sister, Nina Garza; niece Vanessa Garza; step-father, Stephen Garza; and step-daughter, Ashlee Haugen; along with many other extended family members who loved her and will miss her dearly.
