Roll Call Tribute

Kelli Lynn Aikin 

August 18, 1978 - November 12, 2024 

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Kelli Lynn Aikin, age 46, of Montgomery, Texas, who left this world on November 12, 2024. Born on August 18, 1978, to Thomas and Carol (Rief) Aikin, Kelli brought a rare light into the lives of everyone she met. She was the beloved wife of Ryan, with whom she shared 23 beautiful years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. She was the adoring mother to her two children, Grant (18) and Riley (16), who were her greatest pride and joy. Kelli is also survived by her cherished older sister, Kristen Smith, who shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and unbreakable sisterly bonds.

Kelli had an unmistakable zest for life. She lit up every room with her radiant smile and infectious laughter that could brighten the darkest of days. Known for her playful spirit, she loved dancing, playing practical jokes, and found delight in capturing endless hours of video of the deer in their backyard, fascinated by their quiet beauty. Kelli was an artist at heart, capturing the little wonders of life and inspiring those around her to see the world through her compassionate eyes.

More than anything, Kelli will be remembered for her boundless kindness, her gentle nature, and the warmth she shared with everyone around her. She was a friend to all and showed a deep empathy that touched the lives of so many. Whether she was reaching out to lend a hand, cheering someone on, or simply being there to listen, Kelli’s compassion knew no bounds. Her spirit, one of the purest to ever grace this earth, now watches over us from Heaven.

In her memory, we invite all who knew and loved her to a Celebration of Life starting at 6:00pm on December 9, 2024, at Iron Manor, 13570 Forest Lane, Montgomery, TX, 77356. We hope to share stories, laughter, and love in honor of Kelli's beautiful life and the unforgettable legacy she leaves behind.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to Montgomery County Meals on Wheels, an organization close to Kelli's heart.
