    Eric Dahm Kelsey Elizabeth Thompson 10/25/1989 - 10/10/2022 Grew up in Campbell CA. Then later moved to Elk Grove CA and later El Dorado Hills CA where she finished high school and cosmetology school. Loved all people and animals and wandered fearlessly into the world, led by her curiosity and sense of adventure. Traveled into that unknown world looking for love and peace and is now resting in that eternal peace in Green Valley Cemetery, Rescue CA. Survived by her sister Christina and her mother and father, Jeanette and Eric. We all loved Kelsey with all of our hearts and will miss her.
