Jodine, known as Jodi to family and friends, was an innocent victim of a senseless murder/homicide. The tragic and unforgettable circumstances of her death should not overshadow what a beautiful person she was. Her gentle heart and loving ways touched those who knew her.

Jodi was born in Glendale, California. She grew up in Walton Hills, Ohio, and graduated in 1986 from Bedford High School. She loved making flower arrangements; and after the family moved to Carlsbad, California, earned a certificate in floral design. Jodi loved animals, especially Sam, her gentle white horse, and her beloved cat, Angel.

She enjoyed horseback riding, ice-skating, biking, crafts, and kayaking, and found peace and comfort in taking long walks along the beach.

Jodi loved helping others, especially homebound senior citizens. She enjoyed volunteering at her church and the Humane Society. She was grateful for the support from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI). She was an enthusiastic Walk-A-Thon fundraiser for various groups each year. She treasured the time she spent with her friends at Mariposa and the Copper Hill/Friends Group.

Jodi is survived by her parents Arthur and Lois Serrin of Carlsbad; her siblings Michael Serrin and wife Lydia, Nancy Chrisopulos and husband Thomas, Barbara Petsche and husband Jeff, Carole Cercek and husband Tom, and Chuck Serrin; her nieces and nephews Tammy Serrin and son Lunden, Sally Serrin, Valerie and Joey Serrin, Bryan, Jordan, and Gregory Petsche, and Amy and Jonah Cercek.

Our memories of Jodi we will cherish with love and without end.

Friends and family are welcome to attend a memorial Mass at St. Patrick's Church (3821 Adams Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008) February 22, at 11 a.m. to remember and celebrate Jodi's life.

A graveside service at San Luis Rey Mission Cemetery will be for the immediate family only.
