The Boerne, Texas community is mourning the loss of Kelly Zander Ralston, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose passing in September 2026 has left her family and loved ones heartbroken. She was 44 years old.
Kelly was remembered as a dedicated, loving, and loyal woman whose kindness, humour, and warmth made a lasting impression on the people around her. Above everything else, her three sons, Cole, Taylor, and Beau, were the greatest joys of her life.
Born in June 1982, Kelly was the daughter of Michael and Sandy Zander. She attended St. Rita Catholic School and Ursuline Academy in Dallas before continuing her education at Texas A&M University. She graduated with honours from the Mays Business School in 2004 and distinguished herself as a dual collegiate athlete, competing in track and cross country.
Kelly went on to establish a successful career in commercial real estate in the San Antonio area. Her professional accomplishments reflected the intelligence, honesty, and integrity that those who knew her admired.
Outside her career, she enjoyed running, reading, and spending meaningful time with family and friends. She especially treasured gatherings centred around good food and the company of people she loved.
Kelly is survived by her three sons, her mother, Sandy, two sisters, Christy and Julie, her brother, Todd, a brother-in-law, Stacy, a niece, three nephews, and many cherished friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Michael, who passed away in July 2026.
Her obituary reflects the deep love she held for her children and family. Although her passing leaves an enormous absence, her memory will continue through the lives she touched and the three sons who meant everything to her.
No funeral or memorial service arrangements had been announced in the published obituary at the time of reporting.
