Kellie pickler

Though she was never crowned with "American Idol" the title, Kellie Pickler was one of the best contestants from the show. She was born Kellie Dawn Pickler, on June 28, 1986 in Stanly Memorial Hospital in Albemarle to Cynthia Morton and Clyde Raymond Pickler. She was born to a 16-year-old mother. It was a difficult childhood for Pickler since her father was struggling with addiction to drugs and alcohol as her mother divorced her in the early age of two. Morton was in charge of Pickler for two years. Pickler stated that the situation was unsettling. "I recall that my mother and I were together living in the same room, and I told her "I'd rather be dead than together with you. I'd rather God removed me.' She took a knife out and placed it on the counter, then told me"Here's what you need to do then.' It was the fourth grade. It's too bad I didn't make a decision based on that. It left the impression of a long-lasting emotional wound. Pickler who was at the age of 12 was handed her grandparents' custody following the court case. Pickler was nurtured by her parents throughout her entire life. She cited them as having the most significant influence in her life. Faye Pickler, the grandmother who took care of her, died of lung cancer in the year 2001. Her grandfather continued to take care of Pickler. Pickler graduated with a graduation diploma from the North Stanly, located in New London, North Carolina.
