Kim’s pride and joy was her family. She cherished being able to watch Andrew grow into a wonderful man and seeing him and Megan raise a beautiful family with Vincent and William. She called her friends her extended family and looked forward to coffee time with them. She enjoyed sewing, knitting, crocheting, reading and completing jigsaw puzzles. She also loved traveling with her family and friends. Kim said she was born in the wrong era, as she loved and thoroughly enjoyed 50’s-60’s music.
