Maj Kelly Schuetz (USAFA '10)
As soon as Kelly could stand, she began running through life. She was born August 10, 1988 in Naples, Florida to Joe and Rita Schuetz, and died September 25, 2022. She quickly proved herself a feisty, intelligent and caring little girl, afraid of nothing. As she grew, Kelly excelled in the classroom while participating in various sports, clubs and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. After moving with her parents to various cities around the country, Kelly found a new home in Tallahassee, graduating in 2006 from Chiles High School. While at Chiles, Kelly was a member of the National Honor Society, the Spanish Club and a two-sport letterman.
Upon graduation, Kelly was accepted to the United States Air Force Academy, graduating with honors in 2010. After receiving her commission, Kelly served her country at various posts of duty, both home and abroad, rising to the rank of Major. During her career, Kelly also served a tour of duty in Afghanistan as an Intelligence Officer. Her final assignment was as Director of Operations in the Air Force Cyber-Intelligence Unit. On September 25, 2022, Kelly began a new life with perfect, eternal love.
Kelly is survived by her parents, sisters Eva (Malcolm) Hawker, Erika (Kevin) King and Dr. Elisa (Mark) Schuetz, and six nieces and nephews.
Kelly was beloved by all of her friends and family and known as selfless, generous, thoughtful and hard-working. She had a smile that would light up the night and her loss can never be replaced.
$10 from every bracelet sale will go to The Air Force Aid Society, a non-profit that provides emergency financial support, disaster relief, education assistance and on-base community programs for Air Force Airmen.
Here’s a toast.
