Kelsey McAraw – North Huntingdon

NORTH HUNTINGDON The family of Kelsey McAraw of North Huntingdon is deeply saddened to announce her passing on Nov. 16, 2024. Through our despair, we know she is at peace and is finding comfort in loved ones who have gone before her. Kelsey’s humor, compassionate heart, and intense desire to see that others who struggle daily get the understanding and help they truly deserve will always be with us in our memories. We will share laughs telling stories of her “kitties;” her playfulness with the pups she helped raise over the years; the thoughtfulness in finding the perfect Christmas gift, and above all the memory of her strength that sadly and simply ran out. So, as we say so long, not goodbye, please keep in mind our dearest Kelsey. Our minds will always talk with you, our hearts will always yearn for you, but our very souls know you are at peace. Rest easy Queenie. Kelsey is survived by her parents, Raymond and Diane Indyk McAraw; and grandmothers, Dolly McAraw and Angela Indyk. She is also survived by aunts, uncles and many cousins. Kelsey was preceded in death by grandfathers, Mitch McAraw and Charles Indyk. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.jaycox-jaworskifh. com.
