Born Monday, July 3, 1978, in Kansas City, Kansas.
Kimberly earned her master's degree in education and dedicated her career to shaping young minds as a teacher at Charleston Elementary and Caruthersville Elementary Schools. She was known for her passion for teaching and the deep care she showed each of her students. Her classroom was a place of encouragement, learning, and laughter, and her influence will live on in the many lives she touched.
Beyond the classroom, Kimberly was a passionate advocate for animals and served faithfully as a board member of the Caruthersville Humane Society. Her tireless commitment to animal welfare was a reflection of her generous and loving spirit.
She was a faithful member of Caruthersville First Pentecostal Church of God.
