Kimberly Rae Ann Rainbolt

Kimberly Rainbolt, 50, of Marysville, WA, was born on May 30, 1962 to John and Marjorie Rainbolt and died March 10, 2013. A Downes Syndrome child, Kim brought love and happiness to the lives she touched.

Kim had a love for country music. One of her all time favorite songs was Long Black Train by Josh Turner. Kim will also be remembered for her love of paper and pencils. She could sit and doodle notes to everyone for hours.
She is survived her sisters, Tami Lyons (Don) of Arlington, and Teddy Bowers of Everett; and several nieces and nephews.
Special acknowledgement goes out to her caregivers of the last four years, Nellie and Venus of Home Sweet Home AFH. They were a blessing for Kim's final years.

Kimberly Rae, Your cousin Sandi who took care of you. Loved your infectious smile and will always love you. I have some wonderful pictures of you when you were a little girl. Yellow lace dress that you wore to my wedding. I remember the time I took you to Penney's in downtown Everet and came out with a new purse. Of course we took it back and you were not happy. Rest in Peace my love. Aunt Tudy sends her love and embraces you and Buzz and Marge. Bob is there with you too. You are not alone. I love you honey.
