Kelly Denise Whaley

Kelly Whaley attended cosmetology school in Fort Worth and started her career inthe salon at Neiman Marcus, Fort Worth. She was alway interested in the artistic side of the business.
Shortly after, she met L.B. Rosser, and joined his team at Salon NuDu. Kelly always loved "creating" with her clients and was always thinking everyone needed winged eyeliner! She joined L.B. to help work on Fashion shows thru Kim Dawson agency. Together they became a regular sight backstage. Soon after Kelly was also signed by the Kim Dawson and things really took off!
Together they traveled for many designers, were constants for Ken Downing, creating some looks that are still talked about. It soon followed that Kelly also started doing more print jobs, working for Dillards, Double D, Penny's and sweet nature and her ever creative side.
One day Kelly announced she was expecting and was automatically surrounded by love and friendship from everyone in the business. Gunner was the true love of her life, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. He automatically loved everything Halloween and monster. Kelly returned to work and really hit her stride, coming into her own.
Her real passion was "painting someone up for a costume event". Usually a "Zombie" nurse, a dead lingerie model and even painted L.B., if he would stay still.
Kelly was and is loved by everyone in the business and will be truly missed.
We know there's a show in Heaven.
Kelly was blessed to have her amazing father, Marc, who always could be counted on to manage Kelly's schedule. He took care of her and Gunner and loved his daughter with a huge open heart. He and Gunner will continue to be supported and loved by our community.
We will all miss a good "Whatever"!
