Kristi Michelle Wilhelms (Koskella), 66, of Snowflake, AZ, passed away on December 28, 2025.

Kristi, born on 12/17/1959 to Earl and Phyllis Koskella in Tucson, AZ, immediately brought joy and laughter into the world. Kristi went on to graduate from Flowing Wells High School in 1979 as an honor student. After graduating from high school, Kristi went on to pursue a career in Cosmetology in 1980 and then Teaching in 2010. Kristi fell in love with Teaching, which kicked off a 10 year stint in the field. Kristi was a fiercely dedicated mom to all of her children, raising all of them to go on to accomplish great things. Family came first and was above all else to Kristi, a value she instilled in all those around her. The hole left by her absence is impossible to fill. Kristi is predeceased by her father; Earl Rudolph Koskella and is survived by her mother; Phyllis Marion Koskella, four brothers; Kelly Koskella, Kimberly Koskella, Kirk Koskella, and Keith Koskella, two sons; James Wilhelms and Jaxon Wilhelms, two daughters; Lynn Hallom and Leah Wilhelms, and three grandchildren; Roy Crutchfield, Timothy Simms, and Sara Simms. The family requests that flowers be sent to Christ's Church of the Valley. There will be a funeral service held at 2:00pm on January 15th at CCV Maryvale.
