Kimberly Dianne Rekstis beloved daughter of Jack and Dianne and loving sister to Jackie (Chris) Walling and Ryan (Kathy) Rekstis; born on April 3, 1969 in Ann Arbor, Michigan and passed away peacefully on November 4th at the age of 56.

Kim was blessed with several talents, but her culinary skills were exceptional and allowed her to experience different parts of the country while working at some of the most elite restaurants. Kim deeply loved her friends and family with a tenacity that would be difficult to match. Although Kim had so much in her life to be proud of, nothing could compare to the love and pride she had for her nieces and nephew, Julia Walling, Sally Walling, Leo Walling, Lily Rekstis, Ruthie Walling and Cecilia Rekstis. Being their Aunt meant more to her than any accolade or award that she could ever earn in the culinary world.

Funeral Mass Monday, November 10, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Raphael Church, 525 Dover Center Road, Bay Village, OH 44140. Interment St. Joseph Cemetery, Avon, OH.

Memorials to Lifeline Ohio, 770 Kinnear Road in Columbus, Ohio 43212.
