Born and raised in garden City, she graduated from the local high school. She was a friend to many, and never hesitated to help anyone in need.
Kelli married Richard Crouch on May 25, 1985 at the First United Methodist Church in Garden City, surrounded by family and friends. He survives.
Kelly and Richard stayed busy raising their two children, Janna and Brandon, both of which were her greatest treasures. She was a hardworker her entire life. She and Richard owned and operated their own businesses until deciding to slow down a little and spend more time with family. She worked for Dreiling Construction following that until her death. The community loved seeing her at Shooter’s before she closed it in 2013 and she couldn’t go anywhere without seeing a previous patron/ friend, and hearing how much she was missed. Although she worked hard she loved harder and all who knew her, knew that best.
