Kalli Marie Gardner was born on February 15, 1988 and passed away on November 4, 2020. Kalli is preceded in death by her father Kenneth Gardner. She leaves behind a heartbroken family, including her mom, Dolores Gardner; sisters, Kristin Gardner and Kenzie Gardner Harvey; brothers-in-law, Loren Rice and Remington Harvey; and her beloved niece, Quinn.
Kalli fought the disease of addiction for many years and made huge strides towards beating it. Most recently, she was living with her mother and loving life with her family. Kalli was a refreshing light to all who knew her. She was easy to love and had countless friends. Kalli was undoubtedly the coolest person in the family. She had goals to complete a masters degree and work to help others who went through similar struggles. In her memory, we hope to educate others on addiction by speaking of it openly and fighting to improve the justice system.
