Kelly’s earliest memory of Scott is him learning how to draw an ‘8’ in first grade in Monroe City, Missouri. Having met as children, the Frays don’t quite remember their first encounter, but they have made a life together in Boonville.

The couple care for animals large and small at the Cooper County Animal Hospital, where Scott is a veterinarian and Kelly manages the office. Their daily lives are closely intertwined.

When they’re not at work, they get up before sunrise to train for triathlons and marathons, they attend prayer and choir meetings, and they find time to enjoy each other’s company at home with their dog and two cats.

They have spent a lifetime together, raising a son and daughter and celebrating thirty years of marriage. They don’t plan to slow down any time soon.
