On Sunday, June 16th, 2019, Rochelle Elizabeth Pedi passed to heaven, surrounded by family and friends who loved her. Although Rochelle was taken far too early, she had a happy life, full of travel and hobbies and time spent with her mother. Rochelle was an avid reader, having a vast library of her favorite authors. Rochelle was a devotee of all things related to Harry Potter, Twilight, and other romantic, magical, and mysterious tales. She was a member of the FFA and 4-H, raising various animals for the county fair. She loved to bowl and enjoyed tournaments here and out of town. She loved arts and crafts, making lanyards for the Marines at Christmas-time. Rochelle really had fun making road trips to many different places with her mother. Rochelle took cooking classes through the Kingman High School; she loved trying new things to challenge her abilities. She was into Disney, everything and anything Disney, and had many collectibles. Rochelle had too many Build-A-Bears to count. Her inner child saw no good reason to “grow up.” So she was always traveling through the lives of the people blessed to know her with a wonderfully innocent outlook.
She was born in Lake Havasu City, on March 22, 1995, and grew up in Kingman. She attended school in Kingman and Graduated in 2014. She was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church and was a kind and generous person. Rochelle was soft-spoken, loud, giving, demanding, sweet, and often ornery. In short, she was a wonderfully interesting and complex young woman.
She leaves behind her parents; Michelle Guenther and Martin Pedi Sr. (Shawn), grandmother; Deanna Lindsay, siblings; Christopher Bartmus (Angelina), Shae Agersea (Jonathon), Martin Pedi Jr. (Jennifer), Matthew Pedi (Katie), Michael Pedi, and Fiona Pedi, aunt; Marian Guenther, uncle Michael Guenther, god parents and family; Wayne and Terri Hurley, Jamie Owen, Mary Taylor, and E.J. Hurley, cousins; DeShae, Jacob, and Luke Fangmeyer, Ty, Tanika and Amber Lynn Harper, and George and Penny Rodriguez, many nieces and nephews: Jennyfer, Kira, Daimen, Liam, James, Christopher, Italy, Kayl, and Kynleigh.
Although Rochelle is gone from us, she leaves behind treasured memories and love. A rosary will be held in her memory at St. Mary Catholic Church on June 22, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. A Celebration of Life will be announced as the preparations are finalized. In lieu of flowers it is requested that donations be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research fund (JDRF) in the name of Rochelle E. Pedi
