She was preceded in death by her mother, Amber ""Bambi"" Dibartolomeo; her grandparents, Jean and Ralph Urbancek and Ann and Frank DiBartolomeo; her aunt, Bonnie McGarry, and her mother in-law Cheryl Gabriel.

Dear Joe, Makayla & Breana-We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Kim was truly a beautiful, strong and courageous woman. She was an inspiration to everyone that knew her. She had a way of lighting up any room when she walked in. Her love, laughter and free spirit were contagious. Kim showed us what it means to cherish every moment with family and friends. We are so glad that our lives crossed paths with the Gabriel family. We will always have great memories of the fun times and laughter whenever we spent time together and especially on our road trips to Ohio U. I know she will be watching over her family from Heaven. Kim will always be missed but never forgotten! Our deepest sympathy. The McCormick family
