Kelli was born February 22, 1962, in Ottawa, IL, to Emmett and Mary Lou (Crowley) Dougherty. She married Ronald Peddicord Jr. on November 21, 1981 at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Ottawa.

Kelli worked at Unimin for over 30 years. When she wasn't working, she enjoyed spending as much time as she could with her grandchildren, admiring horses, and being with her favorite dog, Harley. She loved to travel anywhere that was warm; she and Ron took many cruises and she especially loved going to Hawaii. She will always be remembered for her fun-loving personality and for being the most amazing wife, mom, grandma, and sister.
