In the post, shared on Facebook, the Department of Family Medicine described Fredericks as a rare individual.
“Kelly was one of those rare individuals whose competence was matched only by her kindness. She inspired those around her through her optimism, dedication, and genuine care for others.
“We were privileged to witness her growth from registrar to family physician, educator, and mentor. She represented the very best of Family Medicine, and her loss leaves an immeasurable void in our profession and in my own life.
“She was a beautiful person, full of life and kindness. She touched so many people in generous ways, with lightness and grace. We have been touched by so many testimonies of how she was there for people, and walked the journey with them,” the post read.
Fredericks was a family physician who graduated from UKZN’s Registrar Program in 2023 and went on to work as a part-time lecturer at UKZN.
The post continued, adding that Fredericks “lived her life in full colour, not holding back.”
“She was proud of her beautiful children and did her best to give her a good life. She had style and beauty and showed impeccable taste. She will forever live in our hearts as a young, vibrant soul, whose light was snuffed out far too soon – like a candle in the wind. We mourn her untimely death and it reminds us that life is for the living to the max and thus to make the most of everything we encounter,” the department shared.
