Kelley Raye Herman
Loved ones knew law student
as selfless, devoted individual
By Trey Reeves
Is. Kelley Raye Herman
1^ only attended Texas
A&M for six months, but the
Aggie spirit was present in her
from the day she was born.
Her kind heart and willing
ness to put others before her
left those who knew her in
awe of her compassion.
A first-year student at the
Texas A&M School of Law,
Herman placed education
high among her priorities. In
high school, she finished third
in her class and earned three
bachelor’s degrees — one of
them a special honors degree
— and one graduate’s degree
in business administration by
the time she was 22 years old.
Herman’s mother, Darla
Miller, said she valued aca
demics.
“She was a huge reader,
and won lots of awards for
reading,” Miller said. “She al
ways wanted to write a novel,
and I even found some pages
of a book she had started
writing about her illness. The
number one thing that de
fined her was her education
and how proud she was of it.”
Miller said Herman’s kind
ness extended to everyone
she met.
“She had friends every
where, and everyone that
knew her loved her,” Miller
said. “She was always such a
sweet, giving and kind person.”
Sharia Holland, Herman’s
aunt and Miller’s sister, said
she’ll remember Herman for
her willingness to treat others
equally, no matter how dif
ferent they appeared.
“‘Fair’ is a word that I
always associate with her,”
Holland said. “She always did
what was fair for people even
when it wasn’t the popular

PROVIDED
thing to do.”
Herman’s fairness tran
scended words. Holland said
she had a powerful, lasting ef
fect on people.
“She had a gift of making
everyone feel like they were
her favorite,” Holland said.
“It wasn’t insincere, either,
she wasn’t trying to be a ‘yes
girl’ that faked like she liked
everyone, she just had a gift
for making you feel so im
portant, no matter where you
came from.”
Herman’s selflessness was
prevalent when she and her
friends would make a weekly
trip to the Finish Line Cafe
in Paradise, Texas. When her
friends did not have enough
to cover their bills, Herman
would let the cashier keep her
change to cover their tab.
Even through countless
surgeries and medical proce
dures, Herman’s spirit was not
shaken. Herman’s older sister
Lacey Sawyer said her com
passion for others was espe
cially prevalent in the weeks
following her diagnosis with
a rare form of cancer called
myoepithelioma. When her
doctors told her that they
could switch the date of her
surgery with someone in line
ahead of her, Herman refused,
and said those people needed
help more than she did.
From a young age, Her
man was a devout Christian,
and her family said she clung
to faith in times of trouble,
such as when her great
grandmother passed away.
“She was always very spiri
tual, even as a kid,” Sawyer
said. “You could tell some
thing was different about
her.”
Herman found comfort in
those close to her — among
them her husband, Zach Her
man, who stayed by her side
constantly during her illness.
“We had a huge wedding
for her in December that was
planned before she became
ill,” Miller said. “I told them
we could postpone it, think
ing we could wait until she
was better, but both of them
said they wanted to have the
wedding in December. He
stayed right beside her the
entire time she was sick, and
I can’t stress what a wonderful
man she married — her best
friend and soulmate.”
Miller said Herman
worked to stay content dur
ing her illness and treatment.
“None of us had embraced
the fact that she might pass
away, but she told me, ‘Mom,
I don’t want to die, but if
this is what takes me, I’d be
okay,”’ Miller said. “She felt
like she had a full life, and had
seen a lot of things, and that if
she was going to go that she’d
be okay.”
