Biography
Kelsch was born in Mayville, North Dakota. She received her bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of North Dakota. She contested her first state election legislative election in 1990, serving on the North Dakota House of Representatives starting in 1991 until losing reelection in 2012, when it was reported that she had not filed state income tax returns for seven years. Kelsch's husband Thomas said he was responsible for the couple's tax problems and the tax bill was eventually paid. After leaving the state legislature, Kelsch worked for the National Federation of Independent Business.

Kelsch died, aged 58, in New Orleans of a bacterial infection on October 30, 2018, after consuming raw oysters.
