Caring for Kalli and her family is the Shelley Funeral Chapel of Swanville. Kalli Ann Doroff was born July 12, 1965, to Dean and Joanne (Anderson) Doroff. She lived in Swanville most of her life, attending and graduating from the Swanville School, and had the honor of being crowned Homecoming Queen in 1983. Kalli went on to receive a Graphic Arts degree from Central Lakes College in Staples. What a wonderful gift she had as an artist, and then with the use of her computer-a MAC—she designed beautiful and unique projects as a graphic designer. She was known for her excellent “eye for detail,” and always strived for perfection. She started her own business-J’Kals Design. She was always checking out the newest Technology. During her early school years, Kalli was diagnosed with hearing loss and Muscular Dystrophy. These conditions caused many complications and struggles for Kalli. Loving sports, but never being able to play --- she became the biggest cheerleader for her friends and family. Because of her challenges -- Kalli was very aware of others trials and troubles and made an effort to support them. She was always there to lend an ear, help however she could, and was always lifting people up with kind words on Facebook. Kalli was a social butterfly and took a real interest, and had a real love for everyone she came in contact with. She LOVED her Lord and Savior, the Vikings, Luke Bryan -- and of course, her family and friends. She was an avid sports fan and enjoyed playing cards, puzzles, and games. Kalli was more than an aunt to her nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews—she was another “grandma.” She loved them with all her heart and spent many hours playing with them, giving them rides on her scooter and supporting them in their many activities and interests. Kalli lived her life as a blessing to so many, and she was truly blessed with the love and support of so many wonderful friends, and family--the whole community. We will miss her easy gentle smile, her huge heart, and long conversations. Kalli is survived by her parents, Dean and Joanne Doroff, of Swanville; brothers, Brad (Laurie) Doroff of Pierz, and Brian (Jamie Stewart) Doroff of Waukesha, WI; sister, Becky (Steve) Fellbaum of Swanville; nieces and nephews, Kennard (Laura), Russell, Luke and Adam Fellbaum, Lisa (Chad) Salber, Courtney (Justin) Cox, Kayla and Kristina Stewart, Steven (Danielle), Arron (Ashley Kirckof), Zachary (Hannah Stoll) Doroff; great-nieces and nephews, Eli, Selah, Hannah, and Joanna Doroff, Sophie and Mila Cox, Paige, Megan, Carly and Brayden Fellbaum, Riggs and Delani Salber. Kalli was preceded in death by her grandparents, Louis and Rose Mary (Sowada) Doroff, and Gordon and Sylvia (LeDoux) Anderson.
