Kelli’s beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children, mother, Michael, and brother. Kelli was a stay-at-home momma to her five beautiful children. She was a great momma to them and was the rock of her family. Kelli loved spending time with her family, laughing, and always wearing her beautiful smile. She loved and supported her childrens efforts in volleyball, orchestra, choir, gymnastics, dance, homeroom mom and anything her children wanted to try. Kelli was an outspoken young lady who had a passion for helping any child in need. We witnessed this protection of children in public on numerous occasions. She was a devoted and loving partner, mother, daughter, sister. When she loved you, she loved you fiercely.
Kelli had this statement posted on her Facebook page. Little did she know or any of us know “Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight Ill ever know. Live and die on this day.”
We will forever and always love you Kelli Lea Tyler!
