‘Count Ourselves Lucky’: The Kellerby clan realizes how fortunate they are to have a loving and devoted wife and mother in Caralae

Caralae is a God-fearing wife and mother who would do anything for her husband and children, and she is constantly keeping her faith at the forefront of everything she does.

Caralae also works hard, puts her best foot forward and goes after what she wants in life. If she sets goals, she exceeds them, and for that and many other reasons she is a great role model to her six children.

Not only is Caralae a great role model to her kids, but she loves them all more than anything. Five of the six of them are in their teens, so she cherishes every moment she gets to spend with each of them, and she makes sure they know her support is never going to go away.

“Caralae is the most dedicated of mothers and wives,” her husband Joe said. “She is always putting them in front of her own needs and wants. She goes beyond the extra mile in order to ensure that her kids, husband and family are taken care of and their needs are always met. She is kind, caring, compassionate and competitive. She is a woman of God and ensures that her family has faith.”

Caralae spends a lot of time instilling the same morals and values she possesses into her children. She wants what is best for them, and her consistent selflessness bodes well for them all.

Caralae has spent so many of her mothering years running her kids around from place to place. She makes sure they get to where they need to go, and she somehow finds a way to coordinate all their schedules. Her needs ALWAYS come last, as she is devoted to her kids to a complete fault.

She never complains either. Raising six children is tough, but Caralae has never made it look that way.

“I admire how dedicated to her family she is and how she is always willing to take the extra step to do for her family,” Joe said. “She is a diehard mother to the core and was placed on this earth to be a mother.”

Some people are born with motherly instincts. Caralae is one of these people.

And yet, when it comes to always being there for her family, that does not stop at her children. Her husband as well as all her extended family do not get the short ends of the stick, and they appreciate her for that.

Caralae’s friends appreciate her for all she does for them as well. She brings out the best in everyone and has such a naturally caring heart. She loves others well and is there for them no matter what.

“How does she make me a better person? By just every day sacrificing for others and showing the footsteps of what it means to give service,” Joe said. “She is always on the lookout to help others and influence others.”

Caralae is all about being there for other people and making them feel special.

She is also all about making the most out of life. She has an extremely positive outlook on life, and her optimism and charisma are unmatched.

“Caralae has the best sense of humor and can lighten the mood in the most tense moments,” Joe said. “She is ultra-competitive and believes in always doing your best no matter what you are doing.”

Give everything your all and make sure you maximize your effort in all you do. This is something Caralae has always believed in, and this is something that she is teaching her athletes currently. She is her daughter’s 18U softball coach, and she instills great values and ethics into the players.

Caralae loves coaching because she loves her daughter and she loves sports, and it is something that she is passionate about, as with everything else.

Caralae’s love for her children, husband, family, friends, players and everyone in between is truly exceptional, and it is something people do not take for granted. People love to be around Caralae and they love who she is.

“I am the luckiest person in the world that you chose me to have a family with. Our children are so lucky to have you as their mother and their lives are so special because of who you are.” – Joe
