She recently retired from Mid-Michigan Health as a medical transcriptionist and was enjoying retired life. She loved family game nights, cooking family meals, spending time at the Mackinaw Bridge and exploring the UP, bowling parties, planning scavenger hunts, movies, and taking the grandchildren on adventures.

Those wishing to honor Kelli’s memory may send flowers to Midland Memorial Gardens. Kelli also enjoyed sending care packages to deployed service members, so you may also consider memorial contributions to the Aleda Lutz VA Medical Center as one final care package https://www.saginaw.va.gov/giving/index.asp.
