Kim Berggren, a beloved daughter, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2025, at the age of 61. She was born on January 14, 1964, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A proud dog mom to her furry companions-Rebel, Lady, Dixie, and Romeo-Kim had a heart that extended beyond her family. She cherished collecting dolls and was a passionate advocate for breast cancer awareness, always eager to make a difference in the lives of those around her.

Kim is survived by her daughter, Tiffanie (Patrick) Donellan; her mother, Patricia Berggren; her siblings, Thomas (Rochelle) Berggren, Jr., Terry (Sherrie) Berggren, and Mark (Rhonda) Berggren. She also leaves behind two beloved grandchildren, Patrick and Peyton Donellan; as well as her partner and care giver, Jerry Bravender; and a multitude of nieces and nephews who adored her.Kim was preceded in death by her father, Thomas Berggren, Sr., and her beloved Aunt Jane Berggren; but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

We would like to thank Community Anderson Hospital and all their doctors, nurses and staff for taking care of Kim for many years.

Family and friends will gather to honor Kim's life, celebrating her spirit and legacy. Memorial services will be held at a date to be determined, where we will share stories, laughter, and love-just as Kim would have wanted. Specific details will be shared soon.
