Kelli had an enormous circle of family and friends, but no couple as dear to her as her Aunt Sue and Uncle George Templeton. Kelli was an adventurous, fun, outgoing, and a gifted ‘family gathering’ planner. She loved animals and Lake of the Ozarks.
Sunrise cruises on the jetski was a kid favorite. The annual big foot hunts with all the kids won’t be the same without her. She loved having all her nieces and nephews over to have Netflix binges and midnight Wal-Mart runs.
She is the fun one! There was not a child that walked through the door that she did not treat as her own and welcome into her home. She knew no stranger.
Kelli was always up for a wild game of Rook. Not many knew but Kelli was a gifted writer and sought great comfort in poetry. She had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone.
