KELLY ANNE MANTLER passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 13, 2021 surrounded by her loving family.
Kelly was predeceased by her mother, Fern Hillstead. She is survived by her father, Morris Hillstead, children Matt (Kaylie) Mantler and Danelle Mantler, sisters Barb (Bote) Miedema and Charlotte Bennett, granddaughters Seirah and Aaliyah, and many nieces and nephews.
Kelly was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, and spent most of her childhood in the Weyburn and southern Saskatchewan area. Kelly enjoyed travelling and seeing new places with her sisters and friends, her favourite spot being Mexico, on the beach with a margarita in hand. To her family, Kelly was the calm in the middle of the storm. She was often the person people went to if they needed advice or a shoulder to lean on, Kelly would listen and provide comfort to anyone who needed it, and she would do so without judgment; this contributed to her being a fantastic psychiatric nurse. Kelly was a devoted mother, mentor, and nurse. Her legacy will live on through her family, her teachings, and all the lives she touched with her compassionate, kind nature.
Flowers are gratefully declined. For those who wish, a donation can be made in memory of Kelly Mantler at the Chinook Regional Hospital, 960 - 19 Street South, Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 1W5
A Service of Remembrance will be held on Thursday, March 25th, 2021 at 1:30 P.M. The service will be live streamed and may be accessed via Kelly's obituary on the Cornerstone website.

So sad to hear of Kelly's passing. Our children went to school together and played together as youngsters. Our sympathy to her family.

You will be sorely missed by all who knew you. My deepest sympathies to the family and all loved ones of this gentle soul.

To you all, on this ultimately sad day, let me say that your words said, over and over again, "I love you, will remember you, be guided by all the lessons that you taught." We who shared with you virtually, felt our smiles, and our tears on our faces. Kelly will always be a part of our memories, and will travel with us into our next days. Blessings to each and everyone who loved Kelly.
Sorry for you loss and you all will be in our hearts and prayers.
Kelly was always such an amazing friend and co-worker to me. We worked together at the college for 6.5 years and she quickly became like family to me. My heart is broken, as well as for her family. She will be greatly missed

Kelly, you are so missed and loved. I loved showing up to work knowing I would be working with you. You were so kind, intelligent, funny and compassionate.
My thoughts are with all of Kelly's family right now. I know that the loss of Kelly will leave such a big hole in your lives as she was someone who cared so deeply for her family. She had such a generous and kind heart and she will be remembered so fondly. I am so glad she got to be celebrated this year for her milestone birthday, so she could see how loved she was and how much of an impact she made in people's lives.
Our deepest sympathy to all, in this great loss of Kelly- she was a great person, daughter, sister, Mother ,Grandmother and also Niece .She was always so caring for the feelings of others. May her soul rest in peace.
My deepest sympathies to Morris, Barb, Charlotte and Kelly Ann's children. I remember Kelly Ann from our childhood in Lake Alma and just came across a picture of us on our first day of school. I am so sorry to hear that she passed away so young. I am not surprised to hear that she grew up to be a very kind person as she was a very kind child. Wishing you all the comfort of good memories.
I had the great pleasure to work with Kelly at Lethbridge College. I had the utmost respect for her dedication and innovation. Kelly brought her wonderful sense of humour to the workplace and it was much appreciated. She shared her great love for her family.
Sending love and hugs. Machala and Haydon went to school with Sierra and we met Kelly on a couple occasions at McDonald's. She was always so kind and had a huge smile on her face. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that all the memories that you created with her help comfort you through. XOXO
Such sad news! I knew Kelly for over 30 years. She was well respected and loved by her fellows. She will be missed. Condolences to her family.
Our Deepest Sympathy Morris, Barb, Charlotte and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you All. I'm remembering the fun times at Mom and Dad's farm when you 3 girls were little and how Dad loved to tease and play with you all. Take Care
