Kimberly Jean Torrent, 50, of Vero Beach passed away June 14, 2018. She was born January 5, 1968 in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. She was raised in Florida by her mother and stepfather, Janet and Geoff Newcombe. Kim graduated from Vero Beach High School in 1986 and earned her AA degree from Indian River Community College.

Kim and her mother shared a love of art and she was an excellent watercolorist. She was an active member in the Westminster Presbyterian Church, the local Lupus Support Group, and at one time volunteered with the Big Brother/Big Sister program receiving the honor of Big Sister of the year. Kim is survived by her mother and stepfather, Janet and Geoff Newcombe, her father and stepmother, Frederick and Patricia Torrent; her siblings, John (Grace) Torrent, Leslie (Tom) Gallagher, Sara Newcombe, Scott Newcombe, Troy Bell, Margo Dodge, and Robin Dobrick; nieces Madison Torrent, Kennedy Torrent, Lauren Smith, Amanda Breen, and many loving Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. A memorial service and Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, June 23rd, 11:30 AM, at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2555 58th Ave, Vero Beach. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to the Westminster Presbyterian Church or the Indian River County Humane Society, 6230 77th St. Vero Beach, FL 32967.

I'll never forget meeting Kim when she moved to Vero Beach and met her during our junior high school years. I have so many fond memories so it is hard to choose from but one good time I had with Kim was when her wonderful and funny step-dad, Jeff, let us take his beloved 1940's Migi kit car down to Ft. Lauderdale during spring break in 1985. Another fun time was when we went together to Grad Nite at Disney World.
I miss Kim to this day and feel sad for her parents and John who miss her so much more.

My earliest memory of my cousin "Kimmy" was when I was 6 - she was an infant - and we were visiting our grandparents in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. As we grew up, we spent much time swimming in her family pool and playing with our cousins at family get-togethers. Her family eventually moved to Florida where I would visit them years later. I never saw Kim after that visit but know that wherever she is, she is free of pain and at peace.

Oh my! My deepest condolences to the Newcomb/Torrent family. I was rifling through old high school photos last week and found some photos of Kim and me from spring break in Ft. Lauderdale 1985 I think. I just learned about Kim's passing today when trying to look up her phone/address. We had a lot of good times and will always cherish them! What a joy to have had such a kind and fun childhood friend. Until we meet again. Peace!

My prayers are with the family; I worked with Kim a long time ago and I remember her as the sweetest person. She was battling Lupus, but you would have never known. Again my sympathies for the family, you are in my prayers.

I never met Kim, but I know her mother and step father. I attended Northwood School with Geoff. I wish that I had some words to say that would make things better, but I do not. As a father of four daughters, this really hits me pretty hard. My deepest sympathy to Kim's family.
