Born November 11th 1996, To her parents David and Monique Zimmerman, and loved and raised by her parents Denise and Jim McBride, and later By her Stepmom Jennifer Buiwitt. She left this earth as an Angel on December 2nd 2024. Forever 28, Abbie was a bright and strong young woman who loved harder than anyone I know. She had the purest heart with the most love to give. Abbie wore her own heart entirely on her sleeve, she had a soul that was kind and gentle in a world that rough. Besides her parents she leaves behind 6 siblings, who she loved with all her heart. Long term significant other Joshua Norris, and her Dog who she loved most in this world Avalanche or Ava Lynn. Ever since losing her cousin as a young child, and then her mother as a young woman Abbie believed with all her heart that a close landing butterfly was a visiting lost loved one. So think of her whenever one passes near, and know her soul and her heart are at peace. Abbie knows nothing but love now. Please join us as we celebrate her life and honor her Memory on January 25th 2025 at 1 pm. At Daily Harvest Ministries in Lawton Michigan.
