The service is open to members of the Princeton University campus community and Kyllo's family and friends.
Kyllo, who was a member of the University's softball team, is survived by her parents, Thomas Kyllo and Julie Kyllo, and her younger brother, Tommy Kyllo.
A funeral for Kyllo was held Jan. 22 in her hometown.
