Kim Howe Obituary
July 4, 1945 - February 7, 2015
A resident of Calabasas, CA and Mesa, AZ, passed suddenly in a tragic accident. Kim and her husband Robert D. Howe (deceased 2003) built a successful nationwide health food business. Prior to her 32 year marriage, Kim played bit parts in several Elvis Presley movies and was the stunt double in the original Herbie the Love Bug. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her stepdaughter Susan Howe, of Pasadena, CA; and by Daisy, her last rescue dog. Loving stepmother of William Howe of West Seneca, N.Y. and Dana Lapp Redmond (Howe) of Old Orchard Beach, ME. They and their children will miss her more than words can say. The family is grateful for the support and privacy given at this time of grief. Per Kim's wishes, there will be no services.

Dana, I actually met Bob, your father, in 1994. He came to the house in Malibu overlooking the ocean, the one with the tennis courts, while we were staying there. He was quite friendly. Our friends knew Bob and Kim better. - John and Patricia

We miss having Kim in our life. She bore the burden of widowhood well, always patient and gracious. She could be an animated conversationalist. We helped to celebrate several of her Independence Day birthdays and she accompanied us to some of our gourmet club monthly outings. In the end, she went out in the same way as the saintly woman known as the Peace Pilgrim. - John and Patricia
