She was an East Rowan graduate, class of 1988, life long member of Eastside Baptist Church in Salisbury, but she attended West Park Baptist Church in Rockwell with her children for the past two years.

For those who knew her, Kelli lived a long, hard life, buy by the saving grace of Jesus Christ, she is now in Heaven, standing renewed and whole. Enjoying Christ and her loved ones.
She was preceded in death by her father Raymond H. Calder and her mother Ruby G. Calder.

Swink and wife Amber, CJ Riddle and wife Jessica, and Brittany Riddle; six grandchildren, Tyler, Cody, Scarlett, Maddie, and Easton Swink, Zachary Riddle. Also by her long-term boyfriend, Mark Blackwelder, whom the family gives a special thanks to for years of support.
A message from her children: “The road has been long and rough at times, but we can all say: we love you momma and we are all proud to have been “your kids.” Till we meet again.”
The family will greet friends and relatives from 10:00-11:00 am on Monday, September 19th, 2022 at Eastside Baptist Church in Salisbury.
The memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, September 19, 2022 at Eastside Baptist Church, with Rev. Billy Sechrist, Rev. Robert Scercy, and CJ Riddle giving the message.

I had the opportunity
of helping care for Kelli when she was young. While giving me the opportunity to see a family, full of love, lifes ups and downs and Gods love in a family. (Which I am so thankfuk for). I saw the love, dedication and family support that she was shown by her wonderful caring, loving mother, her fathers love as well as others that loved
Kelli myself included. She lost her father at such a early age which Im sure was a great pain for her as she was always a daddy’s girl. I
am so very sorry for the lost of this sweet sole to her children , grandchildren and loved ones. May God bless each of you for all the love, forgiveness and respect shown to her. Rest in peace Kelli till we meet again.

Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers! I went to school with Kelli and it has been many years since I have seen her. I can tell she was a loving mother and that she will be truly missed. I feel sure she will be waiting with open arms one day for each of you! Until then, may God wrap each of you in his arms and give you peace!
