Kelly Renee Hayes, of Lawton, Oklahoma, passed away on the morning of July 4, 2021, at the age of 54, surrounded in love by her four children.

The family will greet friends from 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at the funeral home.

Arrangements are under the direction of Becker-Rabon Funeral Home.

She was born on February 26, 1967 in San Bernardino, California.  Her beautiful life will forever be cherished by her daughters, Shelby Hayes and Taylor Hayes of Lawton, Oklahoma, her sons, James Hayes of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Kristopher Hayes of Lawton, Oklahoma, her sisters, Randi Hester and Talitha Wheatley of Texas, and countless special and dear friends and family who blessed her life.

After graduating from Madison High School in San Antonio, Texas, Kelly pursued a degree in psychology at Texas Lutheran College.  She went on to have her four incredible children and devoted herself to raising them and being the best mother they could ever imagine.  Her children always knew her infinite love for them and was open-hearted in her dedication to every single child.  As the children grew, she became a realtor in Lawton, Oklahoma.  Kelly developed and nurtured abundant and genuine friendships wherever she went that truly meant the world to her.  She never knew a stranger and was the most kind-hearted, thoughtful, generous, and positive person who would find a silver lining to any situation.  She loved exploring nature, especially the beach, and crafting with treasures she found on her excursions.

Kelly's strength, courage and cheerful spirit are what carried her through her experience with cancer.  Her zeal for life and pure happiness were contagious and inspiring to all who had the chance to know her.

We all know the financial toll cancer takes on families and we ask all donations to be made to the Kelly Hayes fund so that we can help the family with her final arrangements.
