Submit a PhotoKimberly Ann Rollins-Farak, 55, passed away on December 8, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona. She was born May 13, 1969, to Stan Milton and Noel Ann Rollins, in Champaign, Illinois. Kimberly led a successful and robust life that was filled with adventure, family, love and passion. You could either find her behind the wheel racing one of her many cars on the track or scuba diving off the coast of Montego Bay, running in the Ragnar relay races or excelling in the many college courses she took such as welding, acting and massage therapy.
Kimberly was a world traveler, living in Germany and visiting numerous countries in Europe with her parents and sister, enjoying vacationing in Jamacia and Italy with her daughter, and visiting friends in Portugal and Mexico. She even toured all 48 states by car focused on a journey to self-discovery.
Kimberly had a love for learning that continued throughout her lifetime, graduating from Arizona State University in 1992 with her Bachelor of Accountancy, then graduating in 2022 at the top of her class with a Master of Real Estate Development.
Kimberly touched so many lives with her bright personality, beautiful smile, tenacious spirit, her compassion for others and her love for all animals. Her passing will leave an ever-lasting impact on the ones she loved and the ones that loved her. Although she left this world a little darker, she is shining brighter than all the stars in the sky that are above us.
Kimberly was preceded by her mother, Noel Ann Rollins; and is survived by her daughter, McKenzi Noel Farak; father, Stan Milton Rollins; sister, Kathryn Melissa White (Katie); and cat, Boots. The funeral service will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, December 20, 2024, at Gilbert Memorial Park, 2100 East Queen Creek Road, Gilbert AZ 85297. Reception to follow at 3:00 pm.

Rest In Peace Kim. My Sheepies and I will miss your sweet smile and loving way.
Our precious niece who we love so much. Rest in peace our fun, energetic , talented beautiful girl. We will miss you forever. Aunt Susan and Uncle Bob
From my scrapbook, our 8th (or 9th) Grade School Photos – I consider Kim one of my very best friends – sharing classes, lunch every day & memories I will cherish forever. Feeling love & sorrow. My friend – you are forever missed.
Kim and I became fast friends at the ripe old age of 13. We were inseparable. We had goofy names for each other, we spent the night at each other’s house every weekend, and off to the mall as much as possible in those days. We would even wear matching clothes/shoes. We lost touch mid life because life gets busy but reconnected four or five years ago. She was the same pretty, smart and sweet Kim she had always been. We chatted often and I know she was very proud of her daughter McKenzi. She always talked about her. Kim, I hope you are finding peace – you may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Holding the family close to my heart and sending thoughts of comfort during this time.
You brought joy to everyone you touched and interacted with. Your memory will forever shine brightly, RIP Kimberli and forks up!
Wish I could be there for you. You are in my prayers and love you all.
I love you Kimberly and will miss you forever. ❤️
I just can’t believe it… She was a wonderful friend, I was blessed to know her. Praying for everyone left behind, this is hard to hear I’m truly saddened, way too soon
My condolences to the family, sending you all love and light. Kim was a bright star and will be missed by all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
You will so be missed. We had so many laughs and adventures together. I cannot imagine not continuing that with you. We love you my friend and you will forever be in my heart! To everyone grieving you I pray for peace and understanding. I pray for only the best memories of you to remain in their hearts and thoughts. RIP my friend. Hug your momma tight.
I’m saddened to hear this news, ugh. I’m a former biz colleague of hers and I’m shocked. Way too young to go. My thoughts, prayers, and positive mojo go out to her family. Godspeed, RIP

You had the biggest heart of gold. Kimmy Cakes you have so many people that you have touched and love you. Beautiful inside and out. We had so much more living and loving to do. I miss you.

Kimberly I miss you so much already, I keep thinking I’m going to see you any day now for a get together. I had the best time on our vacation to Portugal the end of September, with our great friend and hosts Paul and Tanya. I will always remember that trip and the fun we had. I’m going to miss our adventures together. I love you to the moon and back. Th skies above have a beautiful angel in you now and I will up to you everyday and smile with you. Love you Kimberly. Until we meet again.
You will be missed Kim. I will always remember our crazy adventures and long, late night talks when we lived together in high school. Moving to Oregon your senior year was not easy yet you made many friends. You were always an amazing cousin who I loved very much. I wish you peace. Love you Kim.
Kim, I respected you so much and you were a rockstar to me in CRE. I am so saddened and wish you’d made Portugal work for you. I never got a chance to see you here. I’m beside myself… May your memory be a blessing for all <3
Knew her so well. We met in welding class at Mesa Arts Center. Will be greatly missed.
