Kelli Diane Kirby
What Kelli was like
Kelli was so loving and kind beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. She battled an eating disorder that took away all her gifts that embodied who she really was. She was voted Ms. KARNS HIGH SCHOOL
Fondest memories of Kelli
Her bravery, kindness, empathy, and how she felt others pain. One memory of her is when starting high school and it was cheerleading tryouts. It was harder to make as a freshman. After tryouts they would post who made the squad. She did and some of her other friends. They were all celebrating in a group hugging and then she took off running across the parking lot and got into a car far away from the group. I went to find her and she was in the car consoling and crying with friend who did not.
How Kelli will be missed
Her hugs, her sweet disposition , her wisdom and talents. Her empathy and how she made you feel so special by her gifts especially her cards she kept in a box that if someone needed cheering up had a birthday, or just a card that said God loves you.
How Kelli will be remembered
Kind,loving spirit who loved God and wanted to tell others that Jesus loved them exactly where they were in life. She loved working with the elderly and was extremely sensitive to their needs. Loved her maternal Grandmother so much. She would want others who are suffering from an eating disorder to get help and reach out for that help.
