Kimberly Hackney- McGrath Obituary

Kimberly Doreen Hackney- McGrath

BKimberly was born in Seattle, Washington on August 11, 1966, and was raised in Marysville, Washington. Kimberly passed away peacefully at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 8, 2010 with family at her side.
Kimberly was proceeded in death by her soulmate, Jody McGrath, who left us this last March; and her mother, Koreen Hackney, who passed in 2006. She leaves behind her three children, Tandra (Jason), Joshua (Amber), and Joie; and her cherished grandchildren, Morgahn and Annahbella. Kim is also survived by her ex-husband, Kevin Hornbeck, whom she spent many of her early years with. She also leaves behind her father, Kennith Hackney; her two brothers, Buck (Connie), and Kirk (Stephanie) Hackney; multiple nieces and nephews that looked up to her; and her in-laws Margie and Wayne Wiley, who loved her as their very own daughter. Kimberly left many friends and family behind who adored and loved her very much.
Kimberly was a very beautiful woman, inside and out. Always doing the things she loved the most, cooking for her family, gardening, being a homemaker and a mother was her "everything". She was very proud to be married to her husband, Jody, her "knight in shining armor", and being a good mother to her three children. She was a growing member of the Marysville Mountain View church. God was always at Kimberly's side through her journey of life. Through all of her trials and tribulations, she always kept her head held high! Kimberly may be absent from her body, but her spirit will live in us forever. We will miss her beautiful smile and her love for us. But know that the Lord has now answered Kimberly's prayers, she is at peace in paradise!
Her children and family are hoping that all of her friends and family will join us in a remembrance and celebration of her life. This will be held this coming Friday, May 21, 2001 at 4:00 p.m. at the Marysville Mountain View Church at 9015 44th Drive NE, Marysville, WA 98270, or call (360) 659-0445.

When we first met, who knew we would become such close friends in such a short period of time. God did. I know he put us together for a reason, and I am sure glad He chose me to be a part of your life.

I miss you my dear friend, and I will miss our long conversations, having coffee, and just being together, but the memories will always remain seared in my heart.

May we all find comfort in knowing you are standing in your rightful place before the throne of God.

All of my love

Kim... mom... I miss you so much! I even miss hearing you cough or scream my name for something lol... Thank you for excepting me into your family & into your heart so quickly. I promise to love & take care of your son for the rest of our lives. Thank you for your confidence in me. You always made me feel like your own & stuck up for my character. Although I spent a short time getting to know you, I love you & will ALWAYS keep "Grandma Kim & Grandpa Jody" alive in your grandchildrens lives... Unfortunately I dont think we have a single pic just the 2 of us. (or just me & dad) I really regret all those times I declined a pic because of the way I was looking... Thank you for letting me try on your wedding dress. You made me feel so special that day... Im sorry I never had my parents over for dinner to meet everyone. It crushes me thinking of all the oppurtunities I let pass by.... But I know you are in Heaven with dad, free as you'll ever be. I love you both!! PRAISE GOD FOR AUGUST 16TH 2009!! (God is great in His timing) Enjoy eternity in paradise. See ya when God calls me home.... BIG HUGS & KISSES!!! XOXO

We are so sorry, our hearts go out to all of you. I can't even imagine the pain you are feeling. And for sweet little Joie who is still so young, it seems increadibly unfair. I know God will take care of you though so remember your momma's faith and hold onto that love. You all are so loved and I know more than anything your Mom would want you to know that. If you ever need anything just give us a call. All our love, Kim, Johnnie, Gavin, Connor and Sheldon

Kimmy was like one of our own children, she and her brothers were raised around our own and we love them all. She will be well missed by us and our children. Uncle Norm and Aunt Joyce

Family ties are precious threads
No matter where we roam.
They draw us close to those we love
and pull our hearts back home.

We are coming too fast!

I certainly hope Grandma and Grandpa have a bigger house or at least a bigger play ground in heaven. Kimmy and I aren’t as small as we used to be! We always laughed so much playing on Grandpa’s playground inventions. Picking the raspberries and talking of dreams. Our Fourth of July’s have a few good stories and we were grateful our Dads’ survived. Aunt Jean’s Easter egg hunts were the best! Kimmy always got lucky because she made the cut for the younger group! What fun! Lucky for me Kimmy always shared. What a wonderful childhood we had. I feel so lucky we stayed close.

In the past few years Kimmy and I grew close again, steadying each other as we stumbled, rejoicing with each other as we progressed, and reminding each other as we go that each moment is sacred. Kimmy kiss everyone up there for me and I will hug your family for you.

Your Cousin Jude (White) Kleiser

Don’t worry She's still watching you,
She is watching you when your asleep,
She know you miss her so much,
and you loved her with all your heart,
but she in a better place now,
you don’t have to worry,
She's with her true love,
she will always be around you,
and always on the inside,
She is in the wind,
in your dreams,
anywhere you seek,
just have the time of your life,
And let her watch you with a happy smile from above
