Kodi decided to pursue her dream in life of becoming a chef and owning her own restaurant by going to Salt Lake Community College and working on her Culinary Arts Degree. She later transferred to the Utah Valley University where she continued her education until her ATV accident on April 9th, 2010. Due to this accident Kodi lost her right ear and suffered from a stroke caused by the closing of her left vertebral artery. This started a series of many medical issues which continued from then until her death on December 3rd, 2010.
