The purpose of this annual event is to remember and celebrate the life of Kelly Ricker -a lifelong member of the Albion community-who dedicated her life to serving her community. Kelly was a 1989 Graduate of Albion High School who passed away on October 10, 2021. Our wish is to assure her family that her memory is alive and timeless.
Throughout her lifetime of service, Kelly touched countless lives and made numerous connections for the betterment of our community. Over the past 30 years, she served the ACS as a lifeguard and for the past two years she took on the role of Assistant Swim Coach.
You may recognize her from serving Girl Scouts of America where she was a leader and Division Chairman. She sat on the Board of Sandstone Park for 15 years. For the past 20 years she assisted at Gotta Dance Studio. Kelly was the master of the quick change room and always the calm, organized stage manager. Beyond the stage, Kelly connected with our dance families and students. Many students shared that she was a role model and mentor. Areas you may not have seen her but appreciated her talents were organizing lineups, technology knowledge with all our equipment, and web design.
Kelly was also an active member of the Holy Family Parish with a strong sense of faith which carried her through her journey. She was always first to volunteer and aide in service of others.
Kelly Ricker connected people, took the time to know them, and was always willing to help. She volunteered so much of her life selflessly! Let’s rally around Kelly’s family on June 25th and remember her beautiful life. Proceeds of the Kelly Ricker Memorial event will go to the scholarship created in her name at the Albion High School Alumni Foundation, Inc.

LIVE AUCTION The Live Auction is a New, Fun way to raise funds connecting our community and service. Anyone may donate a service to auction off. You don’t necessarily need to be a business. For example: |
Girl Scouts may offer a service of planting flowers or yard clean up to the highest bidder. The troupe would write their terms such as: If they supply the flowers/or winner supplies flowers. The number of hours of service to be donated. The starting bid $_____. |
There is a service idea list attached to give you some ideas. We may have multiple entries of the same service. Create your own idea as well. Just fill out the form with details and return it to Gotta Dance. You may email it to MissAmyDance@yahoo.com also.
