Colleen "Codi" Kimball

In fond remembrance of Codi, a vibrant soul who adorned life with the color pink and found joy in the grace of flamingos. Known for her love of lively gatherings and a penchant for a good cocktail, she brought a unique sparkle to every celebration.

It was during this time she became an Army Reservist for 11 years. Codi lived a life of service and commitment, her unwavering faith as a devoted Catholic provided strength and solace throughout her journey.

It was on the dance floor at T- Birds where Codi met the love of her life, Tony, and together they built a lifetime of shared joys. celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary this past December. Buttons and Rusty, her cherished feline companions, added warmth to her home.
