Orndorff was born June 23, 1993 in St. Cloud to Paul and Jane (Thornburg) Orndorff. Growing up in Sartell, Orndorff had a wonderful fun-filled life as a youth and young adult. She spent her entire life in Sartell, graduating high school in 2011. Her greatest joy was being a friend to everyone she met and being with her family and closest friends. She was very social and left an impression of love and sincerity to all. In high school she was well liked and respected, as witnessed to being selected Homecoming Queen, a co-captain of the girl’s swim team and co-managing the boys swim team. She loved participating in choir and serving as a mentor to underclassmen.
Survivors include the following: her parents; siblings, Nick (Jenni) Orndorff of Camas, Washington, Andrea (Jeff) Maday of St. Paul, and Brent Orndorff of Elk River; nieces and nephew, Sonja and Corinne Orndorff and Leo and Maya Maday; grandfather, Harvey Orndorff; special friend Grant Lichtsinn; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
In lieu of plants and flowers, memorials are preferred. The family would prefer to make donations to numerous organizations in memory of Kelly.
