Kelli was born on September 5, 1962 to Rich and Marilyn Edwards who survive. She was married to Monty Kerley on February 19, 1983. She and Monty had two children, Zacchary and Lainyn, and a daughter-in-law, Emily, who are cherished. Kelli’s brother and sister-in-law, Rick and Cindy Edwards, and their children and Kelli’s paternal grandmother, Pearl Edwards, all survive.
Kelli’s passion was Christ, family, and friends. She had a zest for life that infected all those around her. Her gift was that of service and a love for children. Her life and battle with cancer was testimony that with faith there is no need for fear.
