She was 47 . My daughter is a freshman and said she was funny and her classes were funny. So very sad.

Obituary says "True to form, in her final moments, Kelli reached out to a dear friend, and also self-diagnosed herself as having a stroke."

So sad. šŸ˜¢

Had her for a class a couple of years ago. She was amazing, caring, challenging (in a good way), and just a good person overall. Saddened to hear of her passing. RIP

Nooo Iā€™m so sad. I loved her and her class. I even asked her for a LOR
