Kelly Buckman

Kelly Buckman of Barrington started playing handbells 17 years ago at her church. She graduated from college with a degree in Sign Language Interpretation and worked for a number of years around the Chicagoland area until she and her husband welcomed their first child. Now she spends her time volunteering at a food pantry, fostering kittens for a no-kill shelter and marveling at how her children have grown up. She plays flute and bells at her home church and is grateful for the music in her life!
