Kassidy Bertoldi (Gangl)
August 1, 1992 – April 20, 2023

Long time Elk Grove resident Kassidy Bertoldi and her friend Emerald West were killed in a motor vehicle accident on Highway 299 in Humboldt County on April 20, 2023. They were on their way to join their families at Shasta Lake.

Kassidy was born and raised in the Elk Grove area. Her family moved from in town to their current residence on Sloughhouse Road when Kassidy was three. Kassidy attended Pleasant Grove Elementary, right next to her Dad’s fire station. Kassidy’s class was the first class to go through all grades at newly constructed Albiani Middle School and Pleasant Grove High School. She graduated from Pleasant Grove High School in 2011. Kassidy took her general education courses first at CRC and then Butte College. She then transferred and graduated from California State University Chico in 2016. During this time she also worked for Elk Grove Ford, and World Market. She interned with Double Tree Hotel and the City of Elk Grove. Kassidy loved to travel and was lucky enough to go to Canada, Mexico, England, France, Australia and New Zealand, as well as many states across the United States.

Kassidy met Brian Bertoldi in FFA and they started dating in 2011, after Kassidy’s senior year. They dated all through college until in June of 2017, best friends Brian and Kassidy were married at his family’s estate. They started their married life in Paradise, California. Brian worked for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Kassidy worked in HR for Feather Falls Casino.

They moved to Eureka in 2018 about a month before the Camp Fire hit the town of Paradise. Kassidy worked for Blue Lake Casino in Human Resources, but wanted and finally was offered the position of event planner at Lost Coast Brewery. It was not the dream job she had hoped it would be and she left to become the executive assistant to the owner of Timber Ridge Elderly Care Facility. Last year Kassidy was offered a grant position with Human Resources of Humboldt County. She became full time and because of her previous HR experience was given a step raise. Best of all, she had the federal holidays and vacation to match Brian.

Kassidy is survived by all who knew and loved her, but mostly her husband Brian Bertoldi, her parents Ron and Mary Gangl, her sister Kayla Gangl, her mother-in-law Cindy Bertoldi and father-in-law Anthony Bertoldi, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A memorial will be held for friends and family at Phatsy Kline’s Parlor on June 18, at 1 pm. Color and floral patterns are encouraged to wear in honor of Kassidy.
