‘The Best Of Everything’: Kelly Williams is a loving wife, committed mother and the heartbeat of a family that adores her

Every memory made for Jim and Kelly Williams and their two kids, Shiloh and Savannah, revolve around togetherness as a family. Jim practically beams as he relives their Carlsbad and Oceanside beach trips or the time they’ve spent at the lakes in Minnesota, but he knows just how adept Kelly is at making even mundane, everyday moments feel special.
To hear Jim tell it, his wife is magnetic and is family-first in everything she does. Kelly is the best wife he could possibly imagine and the most attentive mother, not just to Shiloh and Savannah, but to the two Standard Poodles, Bella and Chanel, that she spoils more now than she ever did her children.

Kelly is the heartbeat of their family and the person Jim says he admires most in this world.

“Everything wonderful about our family can be traced directly back to her,” he says. “Kelly is simply the best human being I have ever known. She is loving, kind, generous, and intelligent.”

As a mother of two daughters, Kelly has managed to strike all the right balances helping Shiloh and Savannah navigate the good times, as well as the bumps in their life journeys. That latter part really jumps out to Savannah as she puts into perspective her mom’s influence on her life.

Savannah says she had support 100 percent of the time she needed it, but she also got guidance through the inevitable missteps that so often lead to growth. That was Kelly’s focus in all of the moments, to bypass the judgment and help her daughter move forward.

“She’s always encouraged me to keep going, and she’s been there for me when I’ve given up,” Savannah said. “Despite many lapses in my judgement, she’s always been there for me and has nudged me towards bettering my future. She’s instilled a lot of values in me that have made me a better person. I don’t think I would be where I am without her love and guidance.”

That compassion, no matter what is happening in the lives of her children, has been a constant in Kelly’s life, whether as a mother, wife, friend, sister or daughter. And by being there for everyone in that way, she has also shown her kids what real strength is.

“She always checks up on us to make sure that we’re OK,” Savannah said. “She puts us first because she cares a lot about us and our well being. She does the best she can in every situation, even when things get difficult. She’s always been so supporting and loving. She’s one of the strongest women I know.

“Her love knows no bounds and it’s quite admirable. She’s always doing little things for people and has her ways to show that she’s thinking of you. Even if she thinks it’s insignificant, it means a lot to people.”

Kelly works as a medical courier by day, and she comes home primed to put her family first every evening, with no exceptions. And while her guidance has made a tangible difference in the lives of Shiloh and Savannah, Jim also wants it to be known that he, too, has grown as a person because of her.

Kelly has elevated her whole family, all without stopping once to pat herself on the back.

“I wouldn’t be the husband or father I am without Kelly’s unconditional love, support and belief in me,” Jim said.

That brings up a key point for her kids, as they fly the coup and start new chapters in their lives. They love and can appreciate everything their mom did for them to reach this point and recognize all the great qualities that make Kelly such a force for her family.

Still, Savannah also hopes that the next chapter for her mom involves more relaxation and self-care. Few people deserve it more than Kelly.

“Mom, please try to love yourself more and feel compassion for who you are,” she said. “You’re an amazing person and I love you dearly. I’m blessed to have you as a mother.”

Needless to say, Jim feels the same way about Kelly and their 23 years together.

This Christmas, he simply wants her to know what she means to him and how grateful he is for her.

“Kelly is my everything,” he said. “My wife, my partner, my love, the best of everything in my life.”
