Kimberly Torres Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Kimberly's life was defined by her care and service to others. She listened with a patient ear and loved with a generous heart. Dedicating her parenthood to being a homeschool and dance mom for her daughter, Kallarin, she dedicated her time to providing a well-rounded education and giving Kallarin a fulfilling dance experience. Going out of her to make every occasion a special one, she was known for creating an opulent and festive atmosphere where friends became family. She enfolded so many people throughout her life in to her care, offering friendship, counsel and love.
Throughout her illness, her husband of 50 years served tirelessly as her primary caregiver. Kimberly and Craig met by chance at a bullfight in Madrid, Spain in 1971. Married a year later, they would go on to build a life on their own terms, traveling the world with their daughter, finding sanctuary in often remote but stunning parts of the world, and making countless memories along the way.
She is survived by her mother, Lucille Torres; husband, Craig; daughter, Kallarin; son-in-law Josh and her beloved grandson, Bennett.

Kim and I were close high school friends. I remember her as being an intelligent, mature young woman who loved to laugh and be with her family and friends. I recognized her immediately as the beautiful woman she became. Kim made the world a better place to be with her loving presence. May the angels escort her to Heaven and may she rest in the arms of our lovig Lord. of our loving Lord.

A little over 7 years ago I met Kimberly and Craig for business purposes. I was to do some work on their home. It didn't take long for me to begin feeling very close to Kimberly and Craig. Little did I know at that time that I would embark upon a 7 plus year endeavor which culminated in lots of work accomplished and new family members for me! I very quickly began to feel like a part of their family. Kimberly treated me very fairly and I felt like family. A woman of exquisite taste, honor, dignity, and adventure, she helped me to expand my repertoire and expose me to all kinds of work that I have never done before. I have her to thank from many skills that I now have that I would not have had if she had not trusted me and guided me throughout our endeavors. I found her to be surprisingly knowledgeable in many facets and very wise in many ways. I received some of the best advice from her even if it was something I didn't want to hear! She definitely would tell you exactly like it is and I have the deepest respect for her for that. I grew to have a very deep respect and love for her and Craig as if they were my blood. Several times over the years she helped me through hard times, sent flowers to the hospital for me, and made sure that my bills were paid in times of need and food was available when I could not earn the money to buy it. Never asking for anything back in return. To see how she fought to live does not surprise me as I know that she had always had that warrior spirit. This among other things is one of the things that I liked the most about her. The things that I remember most about her is that she is a source of inspiration, and an example to all of respect and dignity, honor and most of all, honesty. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends. To Craig, Kallorin, and Poppy especially. You are in my heart! With much love, Adam Scoggins
