About Kimberly Lynn Bretzing
Kimberly Lynn Bretzing entered this earthly life on September 4, 1979. Her parents, Randy and Claudia Bretzing, welcomed her, and from the beginning, they sensed her joy at being here. As she grew, she delighted her family with her curiosity, imagination, creativity, and enthusiasm for life.
As a youth, Kimberly enjoyed gymnastics and swimming, and later trained to be a lifeguard. She was a member of a synchronized swimming team in high school. She loved watching football and was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos. Kimberly enjoyed an active life filled with devotion and love for her family. She was a fan of every holiday and supported and enjoyed family traditions. She loved being surrounded by people and cultivated many friendships over the years.
Kimberly was self-motivated and worked her way through college, graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. She held a variety of jobs, but her favorite was serving as a Case Manager for the DDD (Developmental Disability Disorders) for the State of Arizona. She often expressed the joy she felt helping others. During her time as a case manager, she made a positive impact on many lives, leaving a lasting mark on those she cared for and earning deep affection from the families she assisted.
Far too soon, Kimberly passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior and beloved family members who had gone before. Kimberly’s love for her family was boundless, and no words can adequately express how much she is loved and missed by those who survive her: Her Parents, Randy and Claudia Bretzing; her sisters, Julie Potter (Daryl), Kristy Davis (James), Autumn Eldridge (Ben), and Brittany Renteria (Joe); and her brother, Doug Bretzing (Whitney). Kimberly loved children, and she was a favorite and adoring aunt to 20 nieces and nephews. We also pay tribute to her many friends who greatly mourn her passing.
Kimberly’s Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, June 28, at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 1911 N. 24th Street, Mesa, Arizona.
