Kimberly Gray Obituary

Kimberly Jo Gray Mancini was the most inspiring woman you could ever meet. Born September 24th 1982, Kim passed away peacefully and surrounded by love after a hard fought battle with cancer. She died in Warren hospital on December 12th 2024, her 4 year wedding anniversary, at the age of 42. Kim had a huge family, and was absolutely the heart of it. Preceding her and waiting for her on the other side are her husband Daniel Mancini, father Joseph Gray, nephew Timothy Mancini, aunt Ingrid Gonzalez, uncle Mark Farley, cousin Michael Gonzalez, paternal grandfather Joseph Gray, and maternal grandparents Lyman and Catherine Farley. Her memory will be carried on by her surviving family members, her beloved pug son Victor, her mother Virginia Gray, her mothers boyfriend Jason Richards, her paternal grandmother Evelyn Gray, her big sister Crystal Schaeffer, her little sister Heather Gray, her cousin Richard Gonzalez and his wife Rebecca Gonzalez, her cousin Jessica Benward, and her father in law Raymond Mancini. She meant the absolute world to her nephews Jonathan Mancini, Xaviar Clymer, and Gage Williams, as well as to her nieces Elizabeth Mancini, Shaylin Bynon, Liberty Clymer, Azalyn Clymer and her son Bentley Stevens, and Kahlianna Clymer and her husband Philip Argott and their child Khaleesi Argott. Kimberly was born and raised in Philipsburg, NJ. She was a graduate of Warren County Technical School. Kim was the hardest worker, and worked her way up to management in just about every position she ever held. Her first job was at McDonalds, but most people know Kimmy from the many years she worked at JCPenney. She loved her JCPenney family so much, and built so many lifelong friendships from that job. Target was Kim's favorite job after JCPenney, and she looked at her coworkers like they were her teenagers. She started dating the love of her life, Daniel Mancini, in 2014, and together they adopted their son/ pug Victor Mancini. Kim and Dan got married in a small intimate church ceremony surrounded by family on December 12th 2020. Kim loved dancing, reading, watching murder shows, shopping, karaoke, and going to the brewery. She was a shining example of a hard working, strong, independant, and positive human. Kimberly was an inspiration to every single person who knew her. She had a million and 10 friends, and was truly a light in everyone's life. She cared for her nieces and nephews like they were her own children, and was always there for anyone who needed it. She loved goofing around with her crazy sisters, and was her mothers very best friend. She did not lose her battle to cancer, she fought hard and gave it up when she was ready. She said goodbye to her family to rejoin her husband on their anniversary, so that Dan could laugh at her hilarious dancing once again.

I met Kim through a company I shared with my ex we had a transportation company called roamin transportation, Kim quickly became one of my favorite clients and even after the business failed I stayed in touch with her she had so much strength and resilience and went through so much, I only wish I had a fraction of the strength and emotional resilience that she had she will be very missed

Kim and have known each other since 3rd grade. She was the president of our Hot Mess club from high school. Kim was always there when I needed someone to talk to. I know that I could on her for any advice without judgement. We got close after we lose both our dad's to the same cancer. Kim, you are the strongest friend I have ever had. Your love for your family was known by all. You never complained and fought with everything. Keep dancing and singing my friend. I will miss you. God sure broke the mild when he made you. Love you girl. Till we meet again.
