Kielee Dasani Rustici, 23, was welcomed into Heaven and earned her angel wings on March 1, 2025.

Kielee was a beloved daughter, sister, niece, and granddaughter known for her passion for animals, politics and music. She loved attending concerts with her friends and family. Born on August 20, 2001, in Idaho Falls, she entered the world with a heart full of love, spreading it to everyone she encountered.

Shortly after Kielee was born, she was known for being very vocal, earning her the nickname "Kieleebear." Over time, the nickname evolved, with people affectionately referring to her as "Bear" or "The Bear." Kielee was loved and adored by everyone who knew her.

During her upbringing, Kielee participated in many activities and had a deep love for performing, including singing, dancing, and cheering. One of her most memorable achievements was performing during halftime for the Utah Jazz.

Kielee had a deep love for all animals and was a proud vegan, encouraging others to embrace the same lifestyle. As a child, she adored cats and always showered them with unconditional love. She is already deeply missed by her two beloved pets, Panther, 17 years old, and Princess, 5 years old. Both cats were by her side during her passing and have been mourning her loss.

Throughout her life, Kielee was deeply involved in politics, meeting and working with numerous candidates for Governor and President of the United States. In 2024, she was honored to be selected as one of the four presidential electors for the state of Idaho. A dedicated leader within her political party, Kielee frequently organized and planned events across the state.

Kielee is survived by her mother, Tia (Caleb) Matlock of Meridian, Idaho; her father, Ryan (Anna) Rustici of Twin Falls, Idaho; and her sister, Emilia Aurora Frost of Ammon, Idaho; and numerous relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her uncle, James Grose, and her grandfather, Ciro Rustici.
