Kellie Ward Crewe Gilmore

February 16, 1965 — June 30, 2025

Garden City

Kellie Ward Crewe Gilmore, passed away on Monday, June 30th, 2025. Born in Savannah, GA, on February 16th, 1965. Her sudden departure has left an emptiness that words can’t quite touch, but her spirit—wild, warm, and unforgettable—will live on in her favorite songs, every stray animal rescued, and the ocean breeze.

Kellie was known for her vivacious, fun spirit and her love for animals— especially her pup Daisy. She was a social butterfly, a lover of the beach, and the first to say yes to a girls’ trip, a road trip, or any day spent under the sun. Since she was young, she was the life of the party, bringing laughs and a good time to all those privileged to know her. Kellie lived life to its fullest and like each day was her last. Her outgoing nature made her someone you truly missed when they weren’t around.

Kellie is survived by her loving mother, Joyce Hammond Ward, her daughter, Jordan Crewe Miller (Curtis), and her granddaughter, Tillery. She also leaves behind her sister, Janet Ward Smiley (Ronnie), as well as her nieces, who were often more like daughters, Ragan Gaskin (Jeffrey), and Rachel Richardson (Joshua). To her friends and family Kellie will always be fondly remembered as “Auntie Kel”— the fun aunt everyone wished was theirs.

Kellie was preceded in death by her father, James Virgil Ward, her husband, Tim Gilmore, and her dearest grand dog, Dookkie.

A celebration of Kellie's life will be held at Baker McCullough Funeral Home, Hodgson Memorial Chapel in Savannah, GA, on Thursday, July 3rd, 2025. A visitation will be held from 5:00 pm

to 6:00 pm, followed by the Celebration of Life from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

The arrangements are provided by Baker McCullough Funeral Home - Garden City Chapel. Kellie's family invites everyone who knew her to join them in celebrating her remarkable life and cherishing the memories created together.

Kellie Ward Crewe Gilmore will be dearly missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love, laughter, and joy will continue to inspire and warm the hearts of those she touched.
