LITCHFIELD PARK, AZ: Kimberly Ann (Oehler) Hoffman, 48, of Litchfield Park, Arizona, passed away on Saturday, January 1, 2011 after a brief battle with an aggressive form of cancer.
Kimberly was born in Marion, Ohio on April 8, 1962 to the late Carl Oehler and Pauline (Daugherty) Oehler. Her mother survives in Sun City West, Arizona.
Kimberly was a 1980 graduate of Elgin High School. She attended the Ohio State University and the Mansfield School of Nursing prior to joining the Air Force Reserves in 1983. She relocated to Arizona in 1985 where she met the love of her life, David Hoffman, to whom she had been married since May of 1986. After her marriage, she became the director of Medical Records at Arrowhead Hospital in Glendale, AZ. In 1998, she started her own medical claims and scheduling business, which she ran until her death. In 2000, Kim gave birth to her "greatest love", Ian David Hoffman.
Besides her mother; husband; and son; she is survived by her sister, Cheryl Oehler of Sun City, AZ; her brother, Russell Oehler and his family of Tigard, Oregon; maternal uncles and aunts, Tom and Peggy Knickel, Sun City West, AZ, Carolyn Daugherty and Robert Mathiasen of Sedona, Arizona; paternal uncle and aunt, Cecil and Vera Oehler of Prospect, Ohio; father and mother-in-law, Ralph and Doris Hoffman of Merlin, Oregon; she is also survived by many loving cousins.
Kim was creamated after a brief visitation from her immediate family at the Sunland Mortuary on Monday, January 3, 2011.
Kim was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister and niece. She will be sorely missed by those whose lives she touched day in and day out.
Kim was an animal lover and over her 48 years, rescued many dogs and cats.
She was a caring, giving woman who always "adopted" a family less fortunate than her at Christmas. This giving spirit has been passed on to her son, Ian He feels that God needed a "lead" angel to organize and help the other angels so that is why his mom is gone. We should all feel that kind of love and understanding, shouldn't we?
Memorial contributions in Kimberly's name, may be made to St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Prospect, Ohio.
