On June 23, 1984, she married the love of her life Michael Terry. Kimberly worked as a CNA, then a homemaker and grandmother, and then she went back to work in home care. She worked during her daughters’ childhood years, and she stopped working when the grandkids were born and then went back to work when they were grown enough to go to school. Kimberly was the best mom and grandmother and could always be counted on to be there for them whenever and wherever they needed her. She was a wonderful friend and would always help in any way she could. Kimberly loved her parents and was blessed to still have them both so close.
She loved to crochet and was very talented at creating things for her family and friends. Playing word searches, games on her phone, and watching criminal and western shows were some of her favorite past times.
