Kimberly Root Obituary
Kimberly was a shining light in the lives of her three children, embracing every moment with them through camping trips, hiking adventures, and kayaking excursions. Her love for the outdoors reflected her vibrant spirit and adventurous nature. Kimberly's passion for teaching extended beyond the classroom, as she instilled a sense of curiosity and a love for learning in her children and students alike.
She is survived by her husband, Rick and her three children, her mother, Ute (Robert) Bischoff, brothers Brad and Josh Scheffler. Kimberly leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, and an unwavering commitment to education and family.
