Kelly graduated from Velma High School. She had worked at BlackHawk Industrial and Duncan Equipment for 30 years. She was the Operations Manager for the Pumps & Services Division. Kelly was a strong, independent woman. Her team was the OU Sooners - so much so that she would skip school to attend press day at OU.

She married Gregory Royal Hibblen in Tulsa, Oklahoma May 9, 2008. Together, they raised their daughter, Nikki. She loved Nikki immensely and they were best friends. She also loved the rest of her family - her husband, grandchildren, brothers, nieces and nephews.

Kelly is survived by her husband of 17 years, Greg; daughter and son-in-law, Nikki and Doug Kirk of Yukon, Oklahoma; and grandchildren: Jack Kirk and Avery Kirk. She is also survived by three brothers: Ralph Gilbert, Roger Gilbert, and Joe Gilbert.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Chucky Gilbert; and sister, Patti Harper.
