IN MEMORIAM

KIMBERLY NOELLE MAGERS

It is with broken hearts that we announce today the passing of Kimberly Noelle Magers. She was wrenched away from us suddenly at home on the morning of June 28, 2008. The loss of her vibrant presence in our family is beyond measure.

    Kimberly was born on May 18, 1972 in Kalamazoo, Michigan to Geoffrey and Carol Stubbs. She lived in Portage, Michigan until 1973 when her family moved to Thousand Oaks, CA. She attended St. Paschal Baylon School, St. Bonaventure HS and graduated with honors from Cal State Long Beach in 1995 with a bachelors degree in Business and Marketing. She also traveled abroad during those years and studied at Oxford University in England .

    In Dec. of 1994 she met Bradley Sims Magers, the love of her life,  and on April 13, 1996 their two hearts were joined in marriage at Padre Serra Parish in Camarillo, CA. They lived in Laguna and then Seal Beach  for the next several years close to the ocean and sand that Kimberly so loved. During this time she worked at an ad firm in Huntington Beach where her great creativity, organizational skills, and "spunky" personality helped her land many new accounts. In 1999 they bought their 1st home in Calabasas. In  June of 2001 "with no regrets" she gave up her high powered career and beloved advertising to become a "stay at home" Mom.  On July 7, 2001 their 1st son Nathan was born followed soon by another son Ryan on Sept. 17, 2003.

    Kimberly now had her "3 boys"  to take care of. Her life was full and complete. In 2002 they moved back to Thousand Oaks where she was raised, bought their present home in Sunset Hills and settled into an idyllic lifestyle that only Kimberly could have fashioned. She was the iconic 'California Girl'. She loved the outdoors, the beach and ocean, sunny days, shopping and tooting around on the freeway doing errands with her babies. She channelled her successful business ethic into everything she did.  She organized a group of her friends and started a Mom's Club. She organized and cooked countless meals for her friends who had new babies or were ill. When the boys started preschool she got active with Kolbe's Korner at St. Max's in Westlake and spent countless hours on the Board and organizing the annual fun raiser. And when Nathan started kindergarten at St Paschal's she took an active role there too. Her energy and vitality were boundless. She was a wonderful wife,  "mommy", daughter, sister, aunt and friend to all who were lucky enough to have known her. She loved her 'boys", her  family, her home, the So. California life style and her life. There was never a more loyal or generous person. All of us who knew and loved her were so lucky to have been a part of her too short, amazing life and can only imagine what was yet to be.

     Besides Brad and the boys, Kimberly leaves behind her proud mom and dad (Geoff and Carol Stubbs of Santa Rosa Valley CA .) Her loving sister Meredith and her husband Bob and their children Geoffrey and Julianna of Simi Valley, her sweet brother Bryan Christopher of Camarillo, a grandmother (Busia) Ann Mokrycki of Michigan City, Ind. Brad's mom Betsy Mallegg and husband Dave of Laguna Beach , and dad Bruce Magers and wife Kathy of Northbrook, Illinois and brother Scott and companion Nadia of Mission Veijo, as well as numerous loving aunts , uncles and cousins.

   A  Remembrance / Rosary service will be held Wed. July 2 at St. Paschal Baylon Church from 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10 a.m., Thurs. July 3 at St. Paschal Baylon Church, 155 E Janss Rd. Thousand Oaks, CA. 91360, with Pastor David Heney officiating. Interment will follow afterwards at Valley Oaks Memorial Park , 5600 Lindero Cyn Rd. Westlake Village, CA .

                                             SOME PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES AND QUICKLY GO

                                                             AND WE ARE NEVER THE SAME.
