Kelli Lynn Crank

December 4th 1968 - August 26th 2025

It is with deep love and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kelli Lynn Crank, beloved and cherished wife, mother and grandmother, on August 26th 2025 at the age of 56.

Born on December 4th 1968 in Tacoma, Washington, Kelli lived a life defined by love, family, kindness, and compassion. She shared 31 beautiful years of marriage with her husband, Jesse Crank and together they built a home where laughter was loud, the music was louder, hugs were plentiful and everyone felt loved and welcome.

Kelli loved being a mother. She poured her heart and soul into raising her children, Loginne and Jeremy, and teaching them the value of kindness, honesty, perseverance and unconditional love. She was their biggest supporter, confidante, and safe place to land, and she never missed a chance to tell them how proud she was to be their mom and how much she loved them.

The only thing Kelli loved more than being a wife and mother, was being a grandmother. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. Nothing brought her more joy than being with them. She was fortunate enough to have seven grandchildren. Raiden, Kali, Killian, Warren, Niko, Adella & Arthur. She celebrated each of them for exactly who they are and made sure that each one knew how deeply and unconditionally they were loved. Her grandchildren will forever carry the warmth of her love in their hearts.

Kelli's nurturing spirit extended far beyond her own family. She was a "second mom" to many neighborhood kids, welcoming them into her home with open arms, snacks, and a listening ear. To so many, she was a source of comfort, laughter and unconditional love - proof that her heart had no limits.

Kelli was also a fighter. As a two-time cancer survivor, she showed incredible strength, courage and determination. She faced every challenge with grace and resilience, inspiring those around her to keep faith and never give up hope. Her perseverance was a reflection of her deep love for her family and her determination to be present in their lives.

Kelli will be remembered for her big heart and the way she always put others before herself. She had a gift for making people feel valued, seen and heard, whether it was through her words, acts of kindness or simply sitting and listening. She had a smile that could brighten the room and a laugh that will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her husband Jesse, her daughter Loginne, her son Jeremy, her grandsons Raiden, Warren, Killian, Niko & Arthur, her granddaughters Kali & Adella, her brothers Mike & Gary, and her sisters Lisa, Keely & Nikki. She was preceded in death by her mother Annette.

Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, kindness and unconditional love will live on in her children and grandchildren. She gave so much of her heart to those around her, and her memory will forever be cherished.

A service to honor her life will be held on September 6th 2025 at Fir Lane Memorial Park at 1:00. Family and friends are invited to gather, share stories, and remember the joy she brought into the world.
