Kimberly Smith Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Kimberly Anne 63, of Lakeland, Florida passed away April 30, 2024, Good Shepherd Forsythe Hospice House Auburndale, Florida. She was born on September 18, 1960, in Cleveland, Ohio to father Edward William Donaldson and mother Mary Ann (Wilson) Donaldson.
Kimberly had a huge heart with the ability to make anyone feel welcome and like family, she never met a stranger. Her greatest achievement in life would be the love she had for her only child Charlene and her son - in - law Dustin. Kimberly lived for her 3 grandsons Colton, Hunter, and Ryder, she enjoyed doing everything for and with them. She also loved summer beach trips, pool parties, theme parks, mountains, Tennessee, all things of the color orange, butterflies, dragonflies, and thrift shopping. Our funniest memories of Kimberly were the adventures we would encounter when we would fly anywhere, when the family played holiday games, and when we went to Halloween Horror Nights. She will be missed by many but forgotten by none.
Kimberly is survived by her daughter Charlene Smith Bovill (Dustin), Winter Haven, Fl., brother William Donaldson, grandsons Colton, Hunter, and Ryder Bovill.
She was preceded in death by her parents Edward and Mary Ann Donaldson, Ortona, Fl., grandmother Ann (Burton) Morrison, Piney Flats, TN., and brother Michael Donaldson, Ortona, Fl.
The family will receive friends at Berkley Chapel on May 25, 2024, for Memorial Services from 11am - 1:30pm.
