Kimberly Lentz Obituary

Kimberly Dawn Lentz

Fairview - Kimberly Dawn "Kimmy" Lentz, 42, of Fairview, died unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, April 21, 2013. She was born August 28, 1970 and was a resident of Asheville most of her life.

Kimmy will best be remembered for the love of her dog, Tank, her 1986 Mustang GT, her beautiful smile and eyes and her joy of spontaneous gatherings and adventures with her closest friends. She was a tomboy in life and was an angel in heart who was always quick to offer help to anyone and never really knew a stranger.

The immediate family will have a private celebration of her life. Her many friends may check facebook for details of a memorial gathering.

Groce Funeral Home on Tunnel is assisting the Lentz family.
