Kelsey had been an RN working in Oncology, the OB unit, and the Ambulatory Infusion Clinic. She was a wife and young mother of three. She has always been adamant about being an organ donor so this evening she had a donor honor walk to pay respects and honor her going for organ donation which will save multiple lives.
With heavy hearts, we announce the untimely passing of Kelsey Bourdon, a dedicated nurse at Elkhart General Hospital, who tragically died following complications during childbirth. Kelsey’s unexpected passing has left her family, friends, colleagues, and the Elkhart community grieving the loss of a beloved caregiver and friend.
“To everyone in our lives, I’m posting a very short update now since so many of you have been in the dark. As some/most of you know Kelsey Bourdon and I were expecting our 3rd child on 1/20/25. We did not know the gender. On that date, Kelsey gave birth to a beautiful little girl. The night before we were to be discharged things took a turn for the worse and we found out that Kelsey had some swelling in her brain and suffered a seizure shortly thereafter. Those things led to a cascade of events that ultimately ended in her death at 14:17 this afternoon,” Kelsey’s husband, Tyler announced via a social media post.
“Kelsey had elected to be a donor every year since she got her license and they will be holding a donor hero walk sometime tomorrow at EGH which I’m told is starting from ICU waiting room (elevator G) and ending at the ER entrance. The time has not been given to me yet so I will send an update post when I get that information. Let’s show Elkhart how special this lady truly is. She’s impacted so many of us in magnificent ways.”
