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”.

In addition to all of her accomplishments in her community, Kim was a favorite when it came to reffing Granny Basketball. She and I reffed many a game together and one of the nicest things about her was that she always was available to ref a game, even at last minute's notice. She was truly a benefit to our league in more ways than one. She brought sunshine and laughter and most of all, she was our "dancing ref." Kim and I rode together to Missouri one year for basketball games and I got to know her better on that trip. She was a wise and loving lady who saw the best in everyone. God has our Dancing Angel now.

We are so saddened to hear of Kim's passing. I worked with her at Des Moines General Hospital and she was always so sweet. I remember helping her set up a chore chart for Kameron. Her eyes would light up when ever she talked about him and her family.
Kim, you will be missed.

Kameron, Even though we have known each other only a short time, I see many attributes your mother has instilled in you. I know by reading the tributes that she was a special lady to so many but her son was the light of her life. Reflect on the memories your shared with you mother,

I met Kim when my uncle Steve Rodish was in hospice. Kim was there for our family and she became part of our family. Truly a good person, beautiful inside and out. Kim officiated at my wedding last year. She made our special day even better! She will be missed by many. Thinking of you all with sincere sympathy, Chris & Dana Obrecht

I worked with Kim at Des Moines General Hospital. She was a gem, and she was always very concerned about our safety. She made sure the parking lot was lit up and monitored by a security guard when we left the evening shift at 10:30. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP, dear friend.

I had the honor of working around Kimberley when I was a Deputy US Marshal. She always stood out as a truly professional and caring person. Her job was so difficult and stressful. But you would have never known it by watching her.
The Southern District of Iowa is a far better place because of her dedication to helping others.
May God touch her family and friends during a difficult and sad time.
May you fly with the angels Kimberley.

My condolences to the family of Kim Tindrell, To god we belong and, To god we return.
God has chosen Kim, to make that transition home, as one day we all shall face.
I will remember that beautiful smile, and her athletic abilities. Myself and, my siblings have fond memories of growing up with Kim, and her siblings on Ascension & Enos. Kim had a warm soft heart, and displayed it with everyone.
Until we meet again RIP my friend!
