Kelila was born in Big Spring, Texas, on Aug. 30, 1979. She moved to Dallas where she attended Brookhaven College, and then to Montrose, Colorado where she lived for the past 20 years.
Kelila had a passion for music and dance and celebrated life by performing, teaching and sharing her enthusiasm and talent. She trained and performed at the regarded Park Avenue Dance Works in Montrose. She served as the pianist for Rosemont Baptist Church and was a part of the fellowship at Grace Community Church where she served on the worship team.
Kelila taught piano and was known for her recitals at the end of each year, pouring her heart out to the children she mentored and the families she touched. In addition to piano and dance, she was also a black belt in karate.
Kelila especially loved trips to the mountains, 4-wheeling, spending time with her cousins, braiding hair, going to the movies, and her fabulous pink piano. She gave generously to friends and loved ones and was a constant and strong witness for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In 2017, Kelila wrote and published her book, Keeping Silent, under the pseudonym, Estella Stone. She was invited to speak at an assembly for students at Big Spring High School, providing hope and courage through her story.
Kelila was loved and admired for her bravery and positivity. Her contagious laughter and light were always present. She was a special, beautiful woman who shared her joy with all who spent time with her and will be greatly missed.

Kelila had an impact on so many lives. Here is an article from Big Springs, TX LINK
I know Kalila is in a better place. She knew the LORD Jesus. She played the piano for Rosemont Baptist Church like she was performing solely for God. Kalila was a joy to know. She was a beautiful lady and always had a beautiful smile on her face. She will be missed, but she is no longer in daily severe pain. God called her home. She is now playing piano for Him! Praise be to God! We continue to keep family & friends in our prayers. We will see you in heaven, Sweet Lady! CJ & Matt
