She also played for Grandview College while a student and had coached boys and girls youth basketball. Kimberley received her Master’s Degree June 2013 from South University in Savannah, GA. She was a great cook. She loved Mexican food and was known as the “aunt who made lasagna.” Some of you may also know her as “Sister Saintly”.

I attended Grandview College and was so very fortunate to play basketball with Dawnelle. So, I knew Kim and the wonderful Tindrell family that was always there in support of all of us. And, what a blessing in my life that was.
My heartfelt condolences. May God's grace, strength and peace be with all of the Tindrell family.

We served in the Army Reserves together and at lunch time it was always a joy to see "Kim" because she always had a big smile on her face and a short story to tell. So now she can share her smile with other angels. With my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family.

Kim was like a second Mother to me. Growing up had its hard times. And in those hard times I could always call Kim and she was there for me no matter what. As an adult she was still there to help me through tough times with her words of encouragement, and her Love.
She had a passion for God and so had a passion for people. She saw the good in everyone she met always with a smile. I have so many memories of her and with her. I will miss her dearly for she is gone too soon but at rest. I will see you in Heaven . I love you.
