She was predeceased by: her parents, Helen Sennott and Joseph Sennott; and her siblings, Sheila Cali, Joe and Mike Sennott.
She is survived by: her husband James R. Kelm; her children, Brian Kelm (Tracy), Sheila Hackman (Kyrt) and Craig Kelm; her sisters, Eileen Zimmerman (Russ) and Dorisanne Weitermann (Bob); her grandchildren, Whitney Gingerich (David), Morgan Stevenson (Jerod), McKenzie Kelm and Eric Kelm; and her great grandchildren, Cash, Ben, Jaymes, Wrig and Ainsley.
She made monthly visits to the History Museum in South Bend, played Mahjong, and even took up Tai Chi—becoming skilled enough to help lead classes until COVID put those lessons on pause. And if you wanted to find her in the winter months, you wouldn't have to look far—she'd be courtside (or at least glued to her TV) cheering on Notre Dame women's basketball, her team of choice.
