Graveside services for Kelli Lyn Parker-Rohla, 51, of Fairview, will be 2 pm, Sunday, January 10, 2021 at Fairview Cemetery, Fairview, Oklahoma.  Arrangements by Fairview Funeral Home Inc.

Kelli Lyn Parker-Rohla was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 7, 1969, the daughter of Jimmy and Charlyn (Wilmott) Parker.  Kelli passed away on January 8, 2021, at the Fairview Regional Medical Center, Fairview, OK.

In 1970, following the passing of her father, Kelli, along with her mother and sister, Sandra, moved to Fairview to be closer to family.  This is how Grandpa Charley was able to foster her love of country life.  He took her fishing and taught her how to drive the country roads at the age of eight.

Kelli attended and graduated from Fairview Public Schools.  She was involved with Brownies, basketball, and the FUMC youth.  She could play the piano by ear like her Grandma Florence, but reluctantly took piano lessons with her sister after school.

Kelli loved her animals.  She cared for and showed a lamb during school and was always outside enjoying her dogs, ducks, cats and chickens.  She even had a few longhorn cattle.  She was also very proud to receive recognition in the Oklahoma Game and Fish magazine for her first deer shot in 1997.

In June 2001, Kelli married Timmy L. Rohla at their ranch west of Orienta.  She loved spending time in the farm yard with all of her fur babies and watching the sun set behind the Gloss Mountains.  It was a special place for both her and Tim.

Kelli is survived by her mother, Charlyn K Parker, sister, Sandra Parker Benedict, nephews Dustin Nickel and Aaron Benedict, and great-nephew Daxton Nickel.

She is preceded in death by her husband Tim, father Jimmy, grandparents Charley and Florence Wilmott, Roger Parker, and Jeanne Weber.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the charity of your choice in her name with the funeral home as acting custodian.
