Brenna Rashel Kulikowski (Moring), 31, of Springerville, Arizona, tragically passed away in the line of duty on September 14, 2025, in a vehicle accident while serving her community as a firefighter.
Born June 4, 1994, in Springerville, Arizona, Brenna was the cherished daughter of Stuart Moring and Sonia Jones (Moring). Raised in the heart of the White Mountains, she graduated from Round Valley High School in Eagar, where her love for nature and community began to blossom.
On July 7, 2025, Brenna married the love of her life, Todd Kulikowski, in a celebration filled with joy and love.
Brenna was a dedicated and accomplished public servant, holding certifications as Firefighter I and II, Wildland Firefighter, and Paramedic. Her passion for helping others was evident in every call she answered and every life she touched.
Brenna’s greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted wife to Todd and a loving mother to her daughter, Livvy Turner. Her world revolved around them, and her love was fierce and unwavering. She found peace and happiness in nature—whether hiking, skiing, camping, or tending to her beloved plants and flowers. She was a creative soul who enjoyed macramé and painting, and she lived her life grounded in a strong Christian faith.
Brenna leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, heroism, and family. She was a fierce woman—small in stature but mighty in spirit. Her dedication to her career was matched only by her devotion to her loved ones. She was growing rapidly in her role as a firefighter and paramedic, always eager to learn and serve. To the world, she was a hero. To those who knew her, she was so much more—selfless, strong, compassionate, kind, and fiercely loyal. She loved with her whole heart and protected those she cared for with unwavering courage and strength.
Though her passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of her loved ones, her legacy leaves a lasting impression that will never be forgotten. We find comfort in knowing she was welcomed into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father.
Brenna is survived by her husband, Todd Kulikowski; her daughter, Livvy Turner; her mother, Sonia Jones (Moring); her father, Stuart Moring; her sister, Meagan Brazel; her brothers, Drew Moring and Cade Moring; her nephews, Jayden and Gaven Crowther and André Guerrero-Moring; and her niece, Aria French.
She was preceded in death by her stepsister, Danielle Paulsen; her grandparents, Charlie Moring and Elizabeth Thompson (Moring), Margaret Crow Dawson, and Calvin Crow; and her aunt, Gwendolyn Moring.
