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”.

Kim was a ray of sunshine in a dreary world. She would always have a smile or a hug to give to liven up a day.
"And He will raise you up on eagle's wings, Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand."
Lux Aeterna, Kim. You have earned it.
