The Bolen Family

Saying that I’m at a loss of words doesn’t quite describe the feeling of loss when I was informed that Kim was no longer with us here. My “Sisterfriend” has been chosen to be that angel to continue to love, guide, and watch over us. I, my daughter Keylan, and granddaughter Collette (who Kim named “PrettySugar” upon meeting her as a newborn), genuinely loved Kim, and whenever we spoke, we always ended by saying “I love you, take care, stay safe”. I am so happy that I was able to tell my sister, who told me that she loved me also, that I loved her. I was fortunate to speak with Kim the morning before she transitioned never considering it would be the last time, but the person who I knew to have a genuinely good heart, a person who you were sincerely grateful to call “friend”, who loved her family and was a child of God, I am so happy to have had my “Kimboogey” in my life, and her “B” who will always love her (names we called each other), am thankful there’s an angel singing in heaven watching over me. Ray, Sherrise and Rayvon, please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. Kim loved all of you, and she knows your hearts are hurting, but she will always be with you. I know it sounds cliched, but speaking from experience it’s true. You will always think of her, feel her with you, especially those times when you’re praying and wishing that she was there. Your prayers will be heard because she will be praying for you. My prayer is for God to continue to bless you, be happy that Kim entered your lives because I know she was, and as your hearts eventually hurt less, the memories will fill that space. I thank you for sharing Kim because we her friends and co-workers loved her too. I pray to see you again, “Sisterfriend”, we love ❤ you,
Keylan & Collette Fisher,

With loving kindness *Kim* drew folks to her. Always walking into the ICS office with a great smile, a loving smile, a welcoming smile and beautiful spirit. Always acknowledging you by your name. Always in a very upbeat, positive manner. She welcome you always like a ray of sunshine and show concerned by how you and your family was. I believe in my heart for *Kim* to be absent from this carnal world, is letting those of us that journey in her presence, as her Love Ones, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and former extended co-worker, like I was during some of our season at IFAS/UF Departments. that *Kim* is now at Home in New Jerusalem with our loving Heavenly Father GOD. I believe *Heaven* is now even brighter, when *Kim* entered through that glorious door in Heaven. I am thankful to our Heavenly Father, that our path crossed, while we both were present in this carnal land. Heart Love and Prayers to her beautiful family, RIH, beautiful daughter of GOD. In JESUS name, Amen, Vesta Richardson

I new Kim from working in IFAS. She was such a joy always had a smile on her face and willing to help anyone. I would talk with her about her two young children that was a joy to her life. As you can tell this was a few years back as I retired in 2006. Her beautiful daughter had graduated from college and was starting to teach in St. Augustine and then we talked about her daughter meeting the man of her lift and getting married. Kim loved people and she was loved by everyone who new her. God needed a beautiful angel and he sure got one. She will be missed.

I used to run into Kim fairly often when I would come to work early. We would often share the elevator together and joke about our journey in to campus in the morning traffic. She was so funny, warm, and kind. I just loved her personality! She represented and served us well and she will be missed. I hope she is smiling up in Heaven and knows that we all thought so very highly of her. RIP Kim Rollins.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. I'm so sorry for your loss.

You will be greatly missed my friend, class mate and dear sister in the Lord . Rest in peace.

It was a very lucky day for me specifically, and IFAS, in general, when I hired Kim away from Shands and she became my assistant in the Dean for Extension office. She was such a asset to the office, smart, great people skills and a wonderful sense of humor. All essentials in a complicated office where you are expected to reach out to all of the county offices, the Centers, the Departments and the other parts of IFAS. I was amazed at how quickly Kim learned to do all of that and creat positive relationships everywhere. I felt that I could count on her to keep things running smoothly while I was out traveling around the state. On so many occasions, I would be calling back to her from various places to check on the status of issues and challenges facing Extension. She did a beautiful job of maintaining peace and balance while some of us in that office got overly excited about various situations. In about 2001, we planned a combined meeting for 1862 and 1890 Extension Administrators at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island. When that meeting was concluded, Kim, who had handled so many of the details both before and during the meeting, told me that her daughter would be married there. I told her, so will mine! And years later, both of our daughters were married at the Ritz in the same year.
I left Gainesville in 2003 to head the Research Center at EREC and then at TREC. This move did not end our friendship. We have kept in communication all these years. When I traveled back up to IFAS, I always stopped at the Extension office for a big hug from Kim. Tried to persuade her to move south with me but of course, she had responsibilities in Extension and her wonderful family.
When someone so special, leaves this Earth so young, we all feel so sad and wonder why it had to be this way. Of course, there is no answer that is satisfactory except that she was called home to her Heavenly Father.
However Kim will be sorely missed here on earth by her friends and family. She touched the lives of so many. Her importance and impact on my own life was significant. She was truly a special person and she will not be forgotten.
With love, Christine Taylor Waddill, former Dean for Extension

I am so shocked and sad to hear about Kim's passing. Kim was a joy to work with. She always had a friendly smile and a kind word. My heart goes out to her family. Kim, may you rest in Peace, we will all miss you!

I had the pleasure of working with Kim since 2017. I am located off campus, so our correspondences were through email and phone. In 2019 I was finally on campus and got to meet her face to face during the office holiday party. Once I introduced myself she welcomed me with warmth and excitement. She has one of those unforgettable smiles and personalities where she just makes you feel at home. I was so happy I finally got to meet her. She will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Kim and I worked together at Shands Rehab Hospital. She always encouraged me to keep living my best life and that I can do anything. I can remember hearing her singing that song, “I’m living my best life”. And live her best life, she did. She was loved dearly by many and will be missed just as much. Kim, you are always going to be a part of my memory and in my heart. I love you my friend. God bless you, your children, and Mr. Ray.

Kim was a beautiful friend and co-worker...beautiful inside and out, always smiling and cheerful. She will be dearly missed. I pray her family and friends will be comforted by the wonderful memories Kim leaves behind.

I will miss Kim's friendly demeanor and her willingness to help others, no matter what they needed. She was always someone I could talk to.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Deepest sympathy to The Family. I have known Kim and her family for over 35 years. When she moved to Gainesville, she became a member of First Missionary Baptist Church. Rev. Eugene Gainey was our pastor for over 36 years and then became our Pastor Emertuis. Kim had a very beautiful voice. She was very full of The Spirit of God. I got to know Sherrise & Rayvon. Also got to know Ray. Family, she will be truly missed. Keep memories of her in your hearts & minds. She will now be asleep awaiting for that great day when Jesus return.

Family & friends may your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate the well lived life of cousin Kim.
(Psalm 61:2) Gone but NEVER forgotten. Rest in Peace, cousin Kim. Michelle Gunn (Powell)

Kim worked for me at the Rehab Hospital for over 20 years. I loved her sweet nature and work ethic. She was a full foot taller than me and I always called her "my short friend Kim". She was a delightful human being and I am so saddened to learn of her passing. My sincere condolences to all of her family, I know she loved you all dearly.
