Kimberly Vanner Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Oak Park Hills Chapel - Magleby Family Northern California on Feb. 6, 2026.
Kimberly Linn Vanner, born on December 20, 1957, passed away on January 3, 2026.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother, and a guiding force to all who knew her. To her sons, she was their greatest supporter, trusted confidant, and constant source of encouragement-always ready with wisdom, honesty, and unconditional love. She never hesitated to show up, no matter the circumstance, and had a rare ability to move mountains for those she loved.

Above all else, she was Mom.

Kimberly poured her life into her family with unwavering dedication and selflessness. She was always present, always willing, and always available-especially for her beloved grandchildren, Lincoln and Luke, whom she adored beyond measure.

Her life was marked by love, laughter, perseverance, and grace. She faced hardship with strength and lived with deep conviction. The values she instilled-faith, family, loyalty, and integrity-remain firmly rooted in those she leaves behind, and her legacy will be carried forward with pride.

She is survived by her sons, Greg Vanner and Ben Vanner; her daughter-in-law, Gaby; Greg's girlfriend, Dana Lee Truitt; her cherished grandchildren, Lincoln and Luke; and many extended family members and friends who loved her dearly.

Kimberly is now at peace-free from pain and sorrow-resting in the presence of her Savior. Though she may be gone from this life, she will never be forgotten.

A celebration of her life will be held at Oak Park Hills Chapel in Walnut Creek on March 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.
