During the early morning hours of April 5, 2023, the illness and addiction that had stolen Kelcie’s sparkle took her life.  Her boys, family, and friends will remember her kind heart ando sunny, smart, fun personality.  Kelcie was born March 9, 1988 at Mercy Hospital Portland, Maine.  Kelcie was always very proud of graduating and obtaining her cosmetology license.  Also 
Kelcie enjoyed helping animals and spent many years as a Veterinary Technician.  Kelcie also enjoyed going to the beach and lake especially with her boys whom she adored.  She spent much of her free time crocheting along with nurturing the dozens of plants she owned.

Kelcie is survived by her two sons Ayden and Gavyn along. 
with her Mother Julie Russell and Stepfather Don Russell all living in Florida.  In Maine she is survived by her Father Eric Bickford and Stepmother Theresa Bickford along with her Grandmother Pat Bickford.  Additionally in Maine her stepsisters Sally Coogins and Erin Cole as well as Stepbrother Matt Russell of Arizona.  She also leaves behind her beloved Aunts, Cousins, and Friends.  The memory of her smile, quick wit, and sunny face will never be forgotten.  Our broken hearts will forever feel the loss and emptiness of her absence.
Services are planned for July in Maine with a celebration of life and burial in Brooklawn Cemetery South Portland, Maine.
