Kim was a graduate of Buckeye High School. She was active in 4-H, band and track and field, winning county fair pie contests and going to State 4-H for clothing design.

She had a smile that lit many rooms and a quiet beauty that was both external and internal.  Kim was a loving wife, devoted mother of three boys and devoted child of God.
