Jodi Kelson Waters Obituary (1968

Jodi Kelson Waters, 52, died peacefully in her sleep on July 16, 2020 after a lifelong chronic battle with illness. She was surrounded by family until the end where she passed away at the Utah Valley Hospital. Jodi was born on May 10, 1968 in Provo, Utah to Lois Campbell Kelson and Stephen Reed Kelson. She had a wonderful, positive, and magnetic spirit about her that made everyone love her. She was one of five children. She raised two daughters and frequently referred to the three of them as “The Three Musketeers.” Anyone who knew Jodi spoke very highly of her. Everyone who knew of the battles she’d faced would say she was the toughest fighter they’d ever known. She carried that fighting spirit right to the end, and she will be sorely missed by her friends and family. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Charlie and Ruby Campbell, Roy and Madge Kelson, and her brother, Steven Kelson. She is survived by her daughters, Kyrstie and Meagan Waters, her parents, Reed and Lois Kelson, and her siblings, Laurie Lloyd, Allen Kelson (Jaylene Kelson), Michael Kelson (Cyle Johnson), and Wendy Kinsey (Jesse Kinsey).
