Kelli was the cherished daughter of David Kilgo and the late Sandra McGill. Kelli graduated from South Mecklenburg High School in 1997.

Kelli's world revolved around her children: Jayden Anthony Ledbetter, Maximus Kelli Ledbetter, and Amira Paityn Ledbetter. Her love for them was boundless, and she cherished every moment spent cooking family meals, playing softball, and simply enjoying their company.
Kelli was a beacon of strength and compassion, a woman who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Her passing leaves a void that will be felt deeply by her surviving family, including her father, David Kilgo; sisters, April McGill, Samantha Crawford; brothers, Allan McGill, Donte’ McGill, Jermaine Crawford, Demond Nash, Damien Nash; her grandparents, Dorothy Pope and Craig Pope Jr.; her mother-in-law, Mary Edwards (Eric); sister-in-law, Jasmine Laws; and brother-in-law, Dr. Reverend Eric Edwards Jr..

She was preceded in death by her son, Jordan Ledbetter, her mother, Sandra McGill, and her grandparents Sarah and Ernest Kilgo. Kelli’s journey now continues in a place of peace and reunion.
Kelli's legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire those who knew her. Her spirit lives on in the laughter of her children, the hearts of her family, and the memories shared by all who were fortunate enough to call her their own.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
