A lifelong Franklin County, Kansas resident, she made her home in Pomona, until her death Friday, February 8, 2002, at the age of fifteen years. Codi was a Sophomore at Pomona High School. She loved sports, actively participating in volleyball, track, basketball and softball. She was a member of the Twin Lakes Softball Tournament Team playing the position of catcher. She also enjoyed cheerleading and singing in the choir. She enjoyed listening to music and one of her favorite songs was 'It's Been Awhile' by Staind.
