Guy-Perkins Schools

Today we remember Mrs. Kelly — a true Thunderbird at heart ❤️ Kelly Michele Minton, 61, of Conway, Arkansas, passed away on April 30, 2026. She was born on August 6, 1964. Kelly was such a bright, spunky soul who brought so much life and energy wherever she went. She had a special way of making people smile and lighting up every room. She will be deeply missed by so many who knew and loved her. She loved everything Guy-Perkins and was one of the school district’s biggest supporters. Alongside her mother, Gayle, she traveled countless miles over the years cheering on the Guy-Perkins Thunderbirds. You could always find them courtside or field side, proudly supporting the kids she cared for like her own. She was at every game, every event — anytime the doors were open. Our hearts are with her family and loved ones during this time. Mrs. Kelly will be missed more than words can say, but her kindness, spirit, and Thunderbird pride will always be remembered. 🖤💛 Obituary: https://www.wilcoxfamilyfuneralhomeandcrematory.com/obituaries/kelly-minton?fbclid=IwZnRzaARl9DxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeaIZWcHvST8GKBWL-rslrMQLrY_QgFM0vJTUZ6xaFZKx2i5n5eWQcTfaPpFQ_aem_CUVR40b1QPxxE9VvrqHr9g
