Kali Mariah Steele

Kali had a beautiful spirit and a passionate soul. She was famous for her big smile, witty intelligent demeanor, high energy and strong-willed personality. With her infectious charm, impeccable sense of style and playful antics, Kali left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She had a big heart full of compassion. Kali’s personality and beauty would light up any room.

Kali loved being wrapped up in a blanket, with freshly popped popcorn watching movies, especially Disney films. She also had a great appreciation for music, including "old school" 90s hits. Kali enjoyed traveling for concerts, sporting events, her mother’s work trips, and fun vacations. For Kali’s 21st birthday, she took a trip with family to Universal Studios to experience Harry Potter World. And we know, she’ll be cheering on her Ohio State Buckeyes, the Columbus Crew and the Cleveland Browns from above.

Kali was a remarkable young student who was pursuing her Doctorate of Pharmacy degree at The Ohio State University. In her academic journey, she previously achieved her Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences from OSU in May 2022. Kali actively contributed to the community in various ways, serving as a student team manager for the OSU women's soccer team and being a member of the Delta Phi Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. Kali worked as a pharmacy intern at CVS, coached youth soccer at Happy Feet and enjoyed working at Muirfield Village Golf Club’s Memorial Tournament.

During her Dublin Scioto high school years, Kali was a class valedictorian and her talents extended well beyond her academics. Kali played soccer and ran track serving 2 years as co-captain for both teams. She was involved in several clubs and organizations including DSHS Wrestling Statisticians, Cooking Club and the Principal's Advisory Council. She also spent many nights and weekends traveling with her beloved Club Ohio Soccer team.

Kali's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncle, cousins and step-siblings are left to cherish the memory of her beautiful and amazing life. We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating Kali.
