Kimberly was a dedicated child development teacher and loved playing and teaching her classes. Kimberly enjoyed spending time with family whether it was family dinners, camping, trips or wine tasting. Another treasured past-time was cross-stitching stockings for her kids, grandkids, and nieces and nephews - all of which are now treasured keepsakes. She was a member of Waypoint Church, Zeeland Michigan singing with their praise team.
