Kelly D. Hartman of Springfield, Ohio, died on November 11, 2026, at the age of 56. She was born on September 11, 1970, in San Jose, California, the daughter of Don O. Hartman and Mary Jane (Kelly) Hartman, both of whom preceded her in death.

According to her obituary, Kelly had a developmental disability and lived for many years with housemates who, along with a circle of caregivers, became central figures in her daily life. She was a longtime participant in CCAWL Adult Day Care Services and Vocational Habilitation, a program in the Springfield area that supports adults with disabilities, and she is remembered as having loved her time there.

Family and friends described Kelly as a person with a childlike heart and a playful spirit who liked to go her own way. She was known for teasing her housemates and sharing a laugh, and for one wish she talked about often: getting her driver's license. Those who knew her say her laughter and spirited ways left a lasting impression on everyone around her.

Kelly Hartman was not a public figure, and no cause of death has been made public. Her passing was announced through a death notice and obituary carried by the Dayton Daily News and posted by Littleton & Rue Funeral Home and Crematory of Springfield, which is caring for her family. She is survived by her siblings, Don (Lisa) Hartman and Lynn Melton, along with nieces, nephews, friends, and the caregivers who shared in her life.

Readers should note that Kelly Hartman is a common name, and search results for it also surface entirely unrelated people, including professionals in law, medicine, and business who share the name. This page concerns only Kelly D. Hartman of Springfield, Ohio, born in San Jose, California, who died on November 11, 2026.
