She was a 1983 graduate of Karns City Area High School and a longtime member of the Karns City Church of God of Prophecy. Kaylene enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles, reading, coin collecting, ceramics and bowling with the ladies league at Bruin Lanes.

Following graduation, she attended Butler County Community College, and prior to her illness, was employed at Riverside Market in Petrolia. Kaylene loved kids and was a babysitter for many years for her nieces, nephews and neighbors, many of whom stayed with her on weekends and looked forward to the pizza parties.

In addition to her loving parents, Kaylene is survived by two brothers, V. Keith Cousins and his wife, Darlene, of Karns City, and Brandon D. Cousins and his wife, Amy, of Petrolia; Kaylene was affectionately “Nana” to her nieces and nephews, Adam Cousins and his wife, Whitney, of Bruin, Lauren Cousins (Evan) of St. Petersburg, Hunter Cousins of Petrolia, and Harlie Cousins (Chris) of Columbus, Ohio; as well as her great-nieces and great-nephews, Ava, Grayson and Lincoln. Also surviving are a number of aunts, uncles and cousins.
