Kimberly Kellow Obituary
On Wednesday, August 2, 2017, Kimberly "Moxie" Kellow, wife, mother, daughter and cherished friend, passed away at the age of 33 years. Kimberly will be forever remembered by her husband and best friend Timothy, their precious 6-year-old daughter, Lola, by her parents James and Denise Kellow, and by a circle of friends and extended family too extensive to list. Kimberly's smile, laughter, fierce wit and dedication to always, proudly, being "Moxie" will always be visible in the torch that she has passed into her daughter's small hands.
The Shade Garden at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens bears a memorial sign with the words she left to her daughter, "Love yourself, Lola." All are welcomed to visit, take a moment to sit beneath the trees, and admire the legacy she left in her passing.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Kim was like a big sister to me for 10 years. A second Mom at some times...I never stop thinking of you Kim. There's an AI Robot out there called "Moxie" and everytime I see it I want it in your honor. You know me and my robots...I feel like I can talk directly to you Kim on here. Yet I also want to say to your parents how incredibly sorry I am this tragedy happened. I feel for you, and also think of you. And what a beautiful, compassionate, intelligent, wise, and caring person her lovely daughter will only see in pictures...Im crying writing this...Anyways, much love and light to everyone here who holds Kim close in their heart. RIP Kim, I miss you terribly.

My Moxie,
It’s hard to believe it’s been three years; especially this time of year between your anniversary and your birthday, when it still feels so damn raw. Seeing Lola takes my breath away, because she is you all over. You are so loved, and so missed. Forever in my prayers.

Kimmy, you are always in our thoughts but especially today on your 34th Birthday.
The words below were taken from the card that we gave to you on your last Birthday. It captured our thoughts of you then, as it does now and always will.
For Our Daughter
A daughter is your heart's delight-it starts when she's a tiny thing who charms you with her every smile and sweetly makes your spirit sing. Then as she grows, your love grows, too...she seems to weave a magic spell that fills your world with tenderness and wonder, more than words can tell. One day, you turn around to find a lovely woman, fully grown. She's graceful, strong and confident, with talents of her very own. You smile and thank the stars above for all she is and all she's done and celebrate the depth of love a daughter brings to everyone.
You were a special gift to the lives of so many people...especially ours. We miss you and love you always.

Kim, for over a decade you were like a sister to me. I considered you family girl, and still did. I'm so glad I got to meet your precious daughter, but wish you could have met mine...I will never forget the joy you brought to my life. When I think of you I smile. I will miss you Kim. Condolences to her family and friends, her parents and Tim. I'm so sorry. I love you Kim.

Being so close in age and our parents being great friends, Kim and I knew each other since our earliest memories. I will always remember how Kim had a way of doing things her own way, without worrying about others negative feedback. And when I was off track, she had a carring way of bringing it to my attention. Her opinion was always respected, because it was earned. And she always reminded me who was the elder in the friendship. Her positive vibes and beautiful smiled will not only be missed, but also always rememered. You will always be in my heart.

I've been with you in friendship every day since the beginning of this very painful tragedy. I pray that you Denise and Jamie are blessed my God's healing, and that you know you will be blessed every day by Kim's Angel and her spirit. We will always remember Kim as a fun, loving, determined, expressive, spoken, and compassionate young lady who touched so many people in her time on earth. Kim's smile was radiant, and energy was always a gift in her life. Sadly missed and loved.
Peace to Denise, Jamie, and family. Love, Brian Pincin and Paul Trambarulo.

As next-door neighbors to Kimberly, Ron and I had the privilege of seeing her grow from a precious little girl into a beautiful young woman. Kimberly always had an inner light that showed in everything she did. As beautiful as she was on the outside, her inner beauty was even greater. Kimberly was blessed with adoring parents, Denise and Jim, who were always by her side through the last sad chapter of her life. They put their life on hold to be with her, but then Kimberly was their life. Prayers to her parents and daughter, Lola.
