Kim enjoyed tending to her garden, and had the green thumb in the family. She enjoyed exploring the local Goodwill, loved any animal, and enjoyed spending time with her grand fur babies. Those close to Kim will remember her as the fun and authentic individual that she was. She was always the life of the party with her sense of humor and quick wit, but most of all she was loving, compassionate, and giving.
