She is survived by her mother and stepfather, Audrey & Floyd Bilbrey; father, Stephen Kates; son, Aiden Bilbrey; granddaughter, Emerie Bilbrey; grandmother, Bette Caulkins; brother, Robert Kates; aunts and uncles, Kathy & Jim Davis; Reba & Don Henry; Sharon & Greg Moulton; Michael & Midori Caulkins; Larry & Janet Kates; Nancy Kates; and many cousins. Also, her dog, Diamond and best friends, Charise Rasberry & Kimberly Grant; and boyfriend, Johnny. Kimberly's presence will be greatly missed, but will live on forever in our hearts.
