Kim’s family and friends will forever miss her infectious laugh, warmth, chats, unsolicited advice, sense of humor, unique “Happy Birthday” singing, and uncanny ability to turn even a trip to the store into an adventure. Kim was a wife of 34 years, “Mummy” to two daughters, but most importantly a “Grammy” to four treasured grandchildren who were the absolute light of her life.
Creative to her core, Kim was a master of all things crafty. Over the years, she dabbled in ceramics, painting, sewing, needlework, and so much more. Even our family traditions are infused with her creativity.
Kim never met a stranger. Her husband used to joke that she was “running for mayor.” She developed true friendships during even the most basic of social interactions. This skill served her well in her cherished time as a school bus driver.
In recent years, Kim lived life to the fullest, taking spontaneous trips to warm places, laughing well into the morning with her family on vacation, and making intentional, memory-filled adventures with her grandchildren.
Kim was truly the most generous and caring person. Whether that meant showing up with a gift just because, an encouraging word, or a perfectly timed laugh, she loved any opportunity to lend a hand or brighten a day. Kim’s final act of kindness was, perhaps, her greatest. She became an organ donor, and the recipients of her gifts received them on her birthday – a fitting reminder that her generosity lives on.
