Kelli Grim Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 5, 2025.
Kelli Marie "Lolly" Grim (née Botelho), age 61, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Born on November 13, 1963, in Oakland, California, Kelli lived a life defined by love, resilience, and unwavering compassion.

For over three decades, Kelli thrived in the real estate industry-a career she deeply loved and where she left a lasting impression on colleagues and clients alike. Her professional journey was marked not only by success but also by her radiant positivity and ability to uplift those around her. No matter the role or challenge before her, Kelli shined with grace and determination. She brightened countless lives through her work and presence.

Kelli's strength extended far beyond her career. She faced life's trials-including a courageous battle with breast cancer-with remarkable fortitude and an unshakable spirit. Her favorite saying, "God has a plan," reflected the deep faith she shared with her husband Bobby-honoring both his Catholic beliefs and her Christian roots. Her belief in something greater carried her through difficult times and inspired those who knew her.

At the heart of Kelli's world was her family. She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband Bobby; cherished daughter Abigail; sisters Sabrina and Sherri; father Anthony; mother-in-law Linda; sister-in-law Tiffany; brothers-in-law Jason and Tom; and nephews Jonathan and Dallas. She now joins in eternal peace her beloved mother Virginia, brother David, and sister Tammi.

Kelli found joy in the simple pleasures of life-spending time with family, caring for animals, crafting beautiful creations with her hands, and always being there for others. Whether it was offering a kind word or simply showing up when someone needed support, Kelli had a gift for making people feel seen and loved. Her warm smile could light up any room, and her generous heart left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

She was a strong, beautiful soul whose legacy is one of love, courage, humility, and selflessness. To know Kelli was to experience true kindness-she carried others through life's joys and sorrows with grace that will never be forgotten.

The family kindly requests that flowers be sent to the funeral home in celebration of Kelli's memory-her favorite color was purple.

May the memory of Kelli Marie "Lolly" Grim bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. Her spirit lives on in every act of kindness inspired by her example. A Calling hours will be held on September 13, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM at Finegan Funeral Home 4080 William Penn Hwy. Calling will be at 11am. Memorial service will begin at 12pm.

Kelli was my good friend and I will miss her and her kindness. She was the most positive woman I have ever been blessed to know. My heart is so sad for Bobby and Abigail, who is just a young woman. She was extremely proud of her! I´ve never met a stronger person than Kelli, she battled cancer with all her might. She loved her husband and daughter so very much. What a special person and she is with God now and out of pain. I will miss you, Kelli Grim. Thank you for being so kind to me and my family and being such a good friend. I love you so much and will miss you forever.

Kelli was such a comfort to me. At times our conversations would be faith driven and we both spoke of the wonderfulness of salvation, how I would see my son again and she talked about her father in law (Bob Grim) who we felt was a spiritual connection with my son. Kelli knew and loved my son without ever meeting him. I know that Kelli found David in Heaven and presented him with the biggest hug and I know she said "this is from your mother ." Bobby, Abigail and the rest of Kelli´s beloved family I am so very sorry for your loss.
