A Brush with Death with San Diego Radio Royalty Kelly Cole

The Next Room with Jane Asher-Where Death is Dinner Conversation

I welcome my radio sister and friend Kelly Cole on The Next Room. We met in the 80's while working at the Marconi award winning radio station KIFM, San Diego. Kelly's popularity and celebrity in San Diego is akin to Norm from the sitcom "Cheers." Wherever she goes, people know her name, and they shout it out just to grab her attention so they can spin in her orbit for a moment of two. She credits her love of music to her father who had a giant room with just a stereo and a chair so he could listen to his records. She said he really felt his music, and it inspired her.

Kelly is no stranger to death and the lasting effects of deep grief. Her beloved husband Steve passed away unexpectedly when he was only 37 years old. His death left her alone to pick up the pieces of her shattered life as a young mother of a teenager. She feels that the music saved her during her darkest time. She also knows first hand how important it is to have your affairs in order after being the executor for her beloved Aunt Donna. And lastly Kelly shared a horrific recent event that both she and her granddaughter walked away from alive and well. Kelly gave heartfelt words about living in the moment and the awareness of never really knowing what could possibly be your last day on earth.
