Kelsey Watson Chadwick

Kelsey Watson Chadwick, age 35, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, August 28th at Frankfort Regional Medical Center after an unexpected medical emergency. She was born on January 23, 1990.

Kelsey loved people and went out her way to share her love of Jesus with everyone she encountered. She would want everyone to know that she is at home today in the arms of Jesus.

She worked for the University of Kentucky as a 4H agent in Carlisle and Graves counties before serving as a professor at Murray State University in the Family and Consumer Science Department. She most recently returned to UK extension this summer as 4H State Specialist. She held multiple bachelor’s degrees from Murray State, a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisville and a Doctorate of Social Work from the University of Kentucky.

Kelsey loved her family with a passion that was second only to Jesus. She is survived by her husband of over 16 years, Bro. Matthew Chadwick, two beautiful daughters, Dava Noel Chadwick and Daphne Marie Chadwick; her loving parents, David Johnson Watson and Lesa Jones Watson; aunts and uncles include Jobeth (Larry) England, Yvette (Billy) Pyle, Dan (Gail) Watson, Lawanda (Michael) Glover, Susan Jones, Joey Michael (Sherry) Jones, along with many cousins.
