Publish in a newspaper

Kimberly Ann Graf, known affectionately as Kim to her friends and family, passed away on August 3, 2025, at the age of 51, in Holmdel. She was born, in Irvington, lived in Keyport for 20 years and has lived in the Bayshore area since.

Kim was predeceased by her parents, Raymond Graf and Diane Maytidu Graf, as well as her husband, Jeffery Blomquist Sr., in 2015. Her memory will be treasured and kept alive by her stepfather, Roscoe Cochran, and her adoring children: Jeffery Blomquist Jr. and his wife Emma of Old Bridge, Dylan and Jacob Acuna of Keyport, and her daughter Diane Blomquist and her husband Carlos Maysonet of Keyport and her boyfriend, Anthony Bellotti of Hazlet,

Kim's legacy is also celebrated by her siblings, Raymond Graf of Sayreville, Ronald Graf of Toms River, Michael Graf of Keansburg, and her sister Patricia Cochran of Keansburg. Her joyous spirit will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren, Cash and Carlos III, and her Goddaughter, Olivia Costillo. Kim's extended family, including many nieces, nephews, and cousins, will miss her deeply.

Professionally, Kim dedicated her life to caring for others. She worked with compassion as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Bayside Manor, and as a Home Health Aide, she brought comfort to many homes. Her most recent role as the Deli Manager at Sprouts showcased her leadership and her warm caring personality.

Kim's passion for life was evident in the way she cherished her interests. She was the heart of family gatherings, always ensuring everyone including her, had a good time. Her love for music was infectious, often being the soundtrack to the memorable moments she shared with her family and friends. For Kim, family was the cornerstone of her existence, and she nurtured those bonds with every ounce of her being.

Kim's presence could light up a room, and her absence will be felt deeply by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

As we say goodbye to Kimberly Ann Graf, we celebrate the remarkable woman she was and the countless lives she touched. Her spirit will continue to inspire us, and her memory will be cherished forever.

Family and friends are invited to join the family for a Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 2-4PM at the Jacqueline M. Ryan Home for Funerals 233 Carr Ave. Keansburg. Cremation was private. In Lieu of flowers family will be accepting donations.
