Kelly Jean Spaulding

FAIRFIELD – It is with great sorrow that the family of Kelly Jean Spaulding, of Fairfield, announce her death on August 3, 2023 at Maine General Hospital in Augusta, following a prolonged illness.

Born October 3, 1970 in Waterville, Maine, Kelly was the beloved daughter of Loyal Spaulding and the late Marilyn (Quimby) Spaulding.

Along with her mother, Kelly was also predeceased by her brother, Scott Spaulding, and many other family members who were waiting to welcome her home.

She is survived by a loving family including her brother, Terry Spaulding and his wife, Susan of Las Vegas, Nevada; brother, David Spaulding and his wife, Kelly, of Waterville; and her sister, Lisa (Spaulding) Dugal and her husband, Will, of Winslow, along with many nieces and nephews and a large extended family.

Kelly graduated from Waterville High School in 1989 where she excelled in sports, especially soccer and basketball. Summers were spent at one of her favorite spots, her family’s camps on Messalonskee Lake in Belgrade swimming and fishing and spending precious time with family and friends. Kelly’s love of animals, particularly her dogs, was well known, as were her artistic talent and creativity.

Soon after graduating high school, Kelly moved to Portland where she worked as a bartender and chef in many different locations, including The Underground and Somewhere Else, two popular local establishments. She also trained and worked as an Esthetician in Portland and Waterville.

Kelly will always be remembered for her infectious laugh, green eyes and large smile, complete with dimples. Her favorite saying, ‘Eight is Great’ will continue to be shared in her memory by all who love her.

Arrangements are being handled by her family and a graveside service will be held at Forest Hill Cemetery in Madison on Saturday, September 9 at 1 p.m.
