Kimberly Wise Obituary

Kimberly Susanne Shiner Wise

March 20, 1968 - December 4, 2021

Far too soon, our beautiful and loving daughter, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, and great friend, passed peacefully due to complications following major surgery. Kim bravely fought to overcome liver disease for more than a year before her unexpected passing.

Kim is survived by her sons Daniel Wise and Beau Wise and her daughter Marin Wise, all of Colorado; her mother Allegra Shiner, Arroyo Grande, CA; her father and step-mother Dan and Phyllis Shiner, Texarkana, TX; her sister and brother in law Greg and Lisa O'Banion, Dos Palos, CA and more than fifty aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Kim attended Saint Joseph's High School and Alan Hancock College in Santa Maria, CA and Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, CA.

Kim loved her children and each of her family members intensely and cherished her many friends throughout the country. Kim lived life to the fullest and never met a stranger or failed to bring laughter and happiness wherever she went. Her bright smile and love for life will never be forgotten!

As we mourn losing Kim, we marvel at, and admire, her successes, strength and courage during this past year and throughout her beautiful life.

Until we see Kim again, her beauty, her deep love of life, friends and family, her bright eyes and infectious smile are the wonderful blessings she leaves with us. WE LOVE YOU KIM, and will miss you the rest of our days.

She was a force to reckon with, but in the best way possible. I wish we had talked more since high school, but there is a plus to social media for us Gen X’ers we can stay connected to some degree no matter where we are. But you can’t get a great laugh and an energy like Kim’s over social media. I wish everyone who knew and loved Kim the best. My biggest condolences to Kim’s family. ❤
