Kaitlin married the love of her life, Max Thompson, on May 5, 2025 on a beautiful beach in the Dominican Republic—a perfect reflection of her joyful spirit and her deep love for the ocean. She treasured time spent on the beach, laughing with friends, and making memories with family. Kaitlin was the beloved daughter of Eric and Natalie Abell and the cherished sister of Hannah Foss and Brandon Abell. She grew up surrounded by a close and loving family who meant everything to her. Above all, Kaitlin loved being an auntie. She adored her nephews Granger, Brooks, and Gentry Abell, and her nieces and nephew Hartley, Emma, and Walker Foss. She shared a special bond with each of them and filled their lives with warmth, fun, and unconditional love. Kaitlin was also devoted to her beloved pets, Willa and her newest addition, Tuesday. Kaitlin had a generous heart and a kind, beautiful soul. She cared deeply for others and had a way of making everyone feel loved and valued. To know her was truly an honor, and she leaves behind countless friends and family members who were blessed by her presence. She is survived by her husband, Max Thompson; her parents, Eric and Natalie Abell; her siblings, Hannah (Pierce) Foss and Brandon (Brianna) Abell; her nephews Granger, Brooks, and Gentry; her nieces and nephew Hartley, Emma, and Walker; and many extended family members and dear friends. A private Celebration of Life service will be held for family. Kaitlin’s light, laughter, and loving spirit will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who knew her.
