We Love
Please refer to obituaries for information on visitations, funeral services and requests by the family or deceased for honoring their memory.
Age 71, of Pleasant Hills, passed away on Friday, December 26, 2025. Devoted wife of 44 years to Dennis Oft; loving mum to Emily (Timothy) Markowitz, Sadie (Benjamin Fay), Steven (Courtney) and Nicholas Oft; proud Grammy to Danika, Ethan, Brayden, Mila, Trey and Kyler; big sister to Kerry Harms, Keith (Cheryl Gromo) and Kevin (Lisa) Hafen; Aunt Kimmie to Russell (Rusen) Oft, April (Peter) Pascarella, Amy (Jon) Ardelean, Kara (Ricky) Minsterman, and Kyle (Tianna Wallick) Hafen. She was preceded in death by her parents William and Shirley Hafen, mother-in-law Elvira Oft, and countless other relatives that she held dear. She is also survived by many cherished cousins, extended family members and friends. Kimberly was the heart of her family. She will be remembered for her unique spirit, a true fun-maker. Joyful chaos was the forecast with her most days, with a 100% chance of unpredictability. Imperfections weren’t viewed as flaws to Kimberly; they were embraced as part of the decor. She believed more is always best, and that dessert always comes first. She had a remarkable gift for remembering every birthday, anniversary, and important milestone. She made sure the recipient of her love felt celebrated through a handwritten card or phone call. She was always doing small things with great love and deep faith. She dedicated her life to caring for others, which included not just her family, but also her church and community. She adored animals and found them to be furry messengers of comfort, unanswered prayers and signs. She lovingly called these ‘God winks’ and used those to navigate her life, along with finding comfort and wonder in the moon. “Happy trails to you (mom), until we meet again.” Friends will be received at the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Thursday, January 1, 2026 from 2-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Friday morning at 9:15. Mass of Christian Burial in Triumph of the Holy Cross Parish, St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church at 10:00 a.m. If desired, Kimberly’s family suggests donations to the Little Sisters of the Poor at 1028, Benton Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15212.

December 31, 2025 I am a distant cousin of Kim's (Jack Hafen's daughter). I am very sorry to see that she has passed. The last time I saw her was probably over forty years ago at a Hafen family reunion picnic. My Mom, Grace always spoke so highly of her and her children. My sincere sympathy to her family. May the memories that you have comfort you. Becky (Hafen) Breisinger December 31, 2025 A cousin of beauty, stature and grace...so many days spent with you and Aunt Lou. You raised wonderful children and always had a kind word to say. Although I hadn't been around in PGH much, always remembered your soft voice and smile. HE can't help but put out both hands to welcome you. December 31, 2025 I am so sorry to learn of cousin Kim's passing. She and I kept in touch across the years and across the miles. I always looked forward to her Christmas cards—she filled them with many tidbits of news that kept me connected to the family. May you rest in peace Kim. And my heartfelt condolences to her family. I hope you can all take comfort from one another in this difficult time. December 30, 2025 11 December 30, 2025 I am very sad to hear of Kim's passing.

Marc and Susan Serrao December 29, 2025 RIP Kim, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Love you, cousin Donna and Rick December 29, 2025 My dearest cousin Kimberly. What words can I used to honor not only your memory, but your being. One of the most loving members of our family who never forgot a date, time or event. Growing up with her is a cherished part of my life. We were not only close but could read one another's minds. Through the years we kept in touch weather 3000 or 6 miles away from one another. A mother to some of the most wonderful young members of our family. I have a vivid memory of coming home from California and hanging around with Kim and the kids for a day. This has stayed in memory for many years as the many holidays spent at Uncle Bills place. A woman who raised her children to love and respect everyone. I recall when Dad was very ill and in the hospital Kim arrived with the kids knowing it would please my father to no end. She knew they were not really allowed in the room but came anyway. Dad was not eating for me at all but when He say Sadie and the rest of them a smile that never left was on his fact and He was in heaven when /Sadie jumped up and started feeding him. This was the type of thing Kim bestowed in her family. Love for family! Childhood memories of our entire family with all our cousins gathered every year. We would each wait with anticipation for each family to arrive at whom ever's house we celebrated that year. Kim, my memory of you my dear cousin will las to the end of my life. It saddens me to know we will not speak again but as I recall the days of life we shared you will always be with me. My Almighty God rest your soul and may your soul dress the heavens with the beauty you left behind here on Earth. I will always love and miss you. December 29, 2025 You are absolutely right how you honored you Mom and sister. She was everything you described of her and more. She was my beautiful cousin who I looked up to and admired all of my life. I will cherish every memory I have had with this beautiful woman and look forward to seeing you again in heaven. My sincere condolences to all of you. May Gods peace comfort you in this very difficult time. RIP Kim love you Cuz.. Love Valerie Contact Us to have your link and message added here.
