Regarding the cause of Kellie's death:
"According to the LA coroner's office, Kellie died from a undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia, probably related to mitral valve prolapse (MVP). She had been diagnosed with MVP, as many women are, when she was a teen. This is normally a benign condition but appears to become much worse within the last few years resulting in an enlargement of Kellie's heart and eventually her sudden death. There was no warning of this as Kellie was very active and displayed no apparent symptoms."
D o n a t i o n s:
"The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers or contributions to charities, donations be sent to the Kellie Waymire Scholarship Fund through the UC San Diego Foundation, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093. The goal is to create a scholarship in Kellie's memory to actresses entering the Professional Actor Training Program at UC San Diego, If sufficient funds are raised, a permanent endowment will be established."
