Kimberley was born July 31, 1959, in Des Moines, Iowa, to Everett, Sr. and Mildred (Wesley) Tindrell. She was dedicated to serving her mother and was an absolute daddy’s girl. Kimberley was an advocate for youth, the elderly, and people in general. She was warm and friendly and knew no stranger. Kimberley was an ordained preacher and youth pastor and music was her passion. She had an angelic voice and was truly a Praise and Worship leader. She ministered at The Rose, the Mitchellville Prison, and was a member the Potters Wheel Ministries. Kimberley also voluntarily helped her brother at New Jerusalem Church during Sunday services.
Kimberley proudly served her country in the U.S. Army and graduated from Grandview College. While in the Army, Kimberley spent a year in Korea, was active in the military police, and played on the Army’s basketball team. 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”.
Kimberley is survived by her son, Kameron, mother, Mildred, brothers, Everett, Jr., Wesley (Lulu), Stephen (Ruby) and David, sister, Dawnelle (Michael) Conley, and her inherited family, Tyree (Pam), Jason (Charlotte) and Bobbye. She was preceded in death by her father, Everett, Sr.

My greatest memory of Kim was at the Granny National Basketball tournament when she sang a song about friends. What a beautiful voice and a great song. Kim had so much fun at that tournament that her joy was contagious.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Wesley and Lula are very dear friends. I never had the opportunity to meet Kimberly, but if she is anything like her brother, Wesley she was a jewel. Keep the faith and know that it will be alright. It maybe sorrow now, but just remember that joy will come in the morning.
Love Teen and Family
