Kimberly Dore Obituary
Kim Dore passed away on January 27, 2004 as the result of an automobile accident. Born on March 23, 1981, Kim attended St. Rita's Grammar School, Marin Catholic HS ('99) and graduated with honors from UC Santa Barbara with a BA in Fine Arts ('03). Following graduation, Kim and her three best friends, Sarah, Mona and Serene enjoyed a two month life adventure traveling through South America.
A talented artist with strong political views, Kim expressed her perspective and passions through art, illustration, photography, sculpture and painting. She loved travel, hiking, music, puppies and the ocean.
Her many friends were her extended family and always so dear to her heart. Smiles, joyful energy, warm hugs and encouragement poured endlessly from her. Kim gave the gift of happiness to all she knew.
Kimmie is survived by her mother Barbara Dore, sister Pam Dore, many wonderful friends and loving family. We miss her dearly and find comfort that she is now with her dad, Pat Dore, who passed away one year ago.
A Celebration of Her Life will be held February 8th at 1 p.m., St. Rita's Church, 100 Marinda Drive, Fairfax. A memorial bonfire will be held on February 7th at 4 p.m., Ocean Beach, SF (end of Judah St. off Great Hwy). Donations may be made to art education programs in Kim's honor.
We love you Kim!

Kim was such a wonderful person. I was looking through the pictures I have from Highschool last night, and came upon her face. Although we were not extremely close, we had a lot of fun together my senior year and her junior year at MC. We took ceramics together. Her pieces always came out beautifully and mine, well, lets just say I don't have any of them anymore. I knew she would excel in the arts and apparently she did. I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing, and truely hurt for all of the people whom she touched deeply. She will be missed tremendously.

Little Kimmie, a sweetheart pixie with the perfect pink bedroom. She was the baby, the darling, the precious smallest of our pack of girls on Oak Springs. She is a part of us for always.
