Kali was proud of her homestead, which she called Wits’ End Homestead. She loved animals and was teaching her children how to care for their menagerie of animals including pigs, goats, ducks, and chickens. As a child Kali participated in 4H which is where she developed her value of raising animals.
Kali loved to be outdoors. She enjoyed camping, swimming, and hunting. She liked the thrill of hunting and was ecstatic when she got her first deer last year. Kali was the life of the party and always had a great time. Her outgoing and vibrant personality made everyone want to be her friend. Kali was goofy and loved joking around.
