In a heartfelt Facebook post, Jamie Lee reflected on her sister's life and personality. "She was my first friend and lifelong confidant. She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress," Jamie Lee wrote. "She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go."

The post also highlighted Kelly's heritage and values. "She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot," Jamie Lee shared.

Jamie Lee went on to describe the qualities that defined her sister: "She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie."
