| Published by Today's News Herald on Oct. 30, 2022 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Dody Krutzsch, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away from natural causes at her home in Lake Havasu City at the age of 85 on Oct.10, 2022. Born on Sept.8, 1937 in South Gate, California, Dody grew up as one of the two children of Albert and Ruth Carhart. Dody's only sibling and brother, Roger, passed away in 1969. Dody is survived by her three children, Pamela Miller, and her loving husband Geoff, Tricia Allbright and Rich Allbright, four grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death in 2018 by her husband of 45 years, Shields H. Krutzsch, and leaves behind his three children from a previous marriage, eight grandchildren, and 15 fifteen great grandchildren. Dody was highly motivated and intelligent, attributes that served her well in her professional life. Dody spent her entire career working in sales, eventually becoming the manager of the fine jewelry department at Bullocks-Wilshire in Newport Beach, California, and later finishing her career working together with Shields for Mason-Kay selling their line of jade jewelry in seven western states. Her love of the Pacific Ocean afforded them the opportunity to work as camp hosts for six months out of the year at San Clemente State Park for over a decade. Caregiving was in her DNA and she always found time to volunteer in local hospitals, first in Laguna, California and then most recently at Havasu Regional Medical Center. Dody also volunteered with the Red Cross Blood Drive. Always one to extend hospitality and cook delicious meals, she made every effort to welcome family and friends to her home. Gifts in her honor can be made to a nursing scholarship to HRMC Auxillary, 101 Civic Center Lane, LHC, AZ 86403. |
