Kelly Ann Schwartzbauer

Kelly Ann Schwartzbauer, 60, passed away on March 25, 2025. She was born in Kansas City, MO on April 23, 1964, to Dorin and Nettie Schwartzbaurer.

A graduate of Oak Park High School, Kelly began her career at Zarda’s before embarking on a long and dedicated tenure with the IRS. Her keen eye for detail and thoroughness made her an invaluable asset in her work.

Kelly was a proud member of the local Civil Air Patrol unit, a role that allowed her to express her deep admiration for those who serve in the military. She had a passion for traveling, photography, and attending gem and mineral shows. For over 45 years, she upheld her personal tradition of enjoying a Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s every season. Known for her witty sense of humor and natural ability to teach, she left a lasting impact on those who knew her.

Kelly was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents. She will be lovingly remembered by her sister, Kathleen (Ed) Crow; nephews, James and William Crow; lifelong friends, Charlene Wickam and her son, Johnathan Crouch; Jerry (Bonnie) Wickam and their children, Kurt, Justin, and Kent Wickam; along with many extended family members and friends.

A Celebration of her life will be held at Terrace Park Funeral Home on Sunday, March 30th, with visitation beginning at 1:00pm, followed by the funeral service at 2:00pm.
