Kimberly Ann Davis October 28, 1971 May 11, 2015 Kimberly Ann Davis, 43, of Port Matilda, died unexpectedly on Monday evening, May 11, 2015, at Mount Nittany Medical Center, State College. Born on October 28, 1971, in Middleboro, MA, she was the daughter of Cheryl Haarala Schofield of Carver, MA, and Gary Schofield, also of Carver, MA. Kim was the granddaughter of Delores Maki Haarala, the late Eero T. Haarala, and step-granddaughter of Faith Haarala. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, with a degree in Psychology. In addition to her parents and grandmother, Kim is survived by her beloved husband, Kevin C. Davis, of Port Matilda and her brother and man of honor, Mark Schofield, of Plymouth, MA. She was also loved and will be missed by many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and of course her cats. Kim, along with her business partner, Cynthia Spencer, co-owned Stitch Your Art Out in Pine Grove Mills for 12 years. Together they created a sanctuary for women to experience the fullest expression of themselves through fabric and yarn. Kim inspired hundreds of her friends to see color, light, and shape, and to lead a heart-centered, creative life. She helped to inspire everyone around her to make the world a more beautiful place. She loved working and interacting with her customers at her business. She not only taught hundreds of classes at her shop over the years, but she also was one of 30 artists who led Spectrum 2014, a 10-month online workshop on visual journaling. Last November, she published a book, "Make your Mark: A Handbook for Learning Free-Motion Quilting." Kim's works of art have been displayed in galleries around the area. She enjoyed reading, painting, gardening, fabric art and almost every creative activity. A memorial celebration of Kim's life will be held at the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center on Sunday, June 7, from 2-4 p.m. All are welcome. Memorial contributions may be made to Centre County PAWS, or to Centre Wildlife Care. An online guestbook can be signed or condolences sent to the family at www.heintzelmanfuneralhome.com.
