Kelly Maureen Korpinen

February 21, 1949 - October 13, 2020

Kelly Korpinen 71, was killed in a motor vehicle accident October 13,2020 just miles from her home in Odessa, WA. She was born Kelly Maureen Kissler February 21, 1949 in Spokane, WA. The oldest child to Melvin and Marlys Kissler, Kelly spent her childhood on the family farm between Odessa and Marlin. She attended school in Odessa, WA graduating from Odessa High School in 1967. Kelly's passion for creating recipes and feeding other people started at a very young age, helping her mother and grandmother feed the family and harvest crews, often delivering the meals out to the fields. After retiring from Kmart, this turned into owning her own sandwich shop and catering business in Moses Lake. She had a knack for creating the perfect menu for business meetings, weddings, family gatherings and more. When Don retired he then joined her in the daily operations and they later transitioned "It's your Choice" to "JonathINNS Restaurant". After leaving the restaurant business, Kelly and Don went back to help run the family farm, where they continued feeding others with their german sausage business. Kelly never met a stranger and was quick to volunteer, many people called her friend. She was always available for family and friends and enjoyed getting together for any occasion. She loved her family and was a loyal mom, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin and niece. Kelly is survived by her best friend and husband, Don Korpinen, her mother Marlys Kissler, her children, Joel Koch and Katie Chapman (husband Mike), and her one and only grandson, Skyler, whom she loved and adored, her brothers Terry Kissler and family, Tracy Kissler and family, her best dog Red, step daughter Kim Korpinen, and too many nieces, nephews and special friends to list..... she loved you all. She was preceded in death by her brother Corey Kissler, step son Jon Korpinen, and father Melvin Kissler. There will be no formal service at this time. In lieu of flowers, please donate to any pet rescue of your choice.
