Kim was an extraordinary woman whose greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her cherished grandchildren. She had a fulfilling career as a Category Advisor at Hefty for over 15 years. Prior to this, Kim owned a tanning salon in Bentonville, where she met the love of her life, Kevin. They were just shy of celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary on June 2nd.
A proud resident of her city, Kim's loyalty was unwavering, often proclaiming she bled black and gold. She had a passion for shopping and treasured the moments spent at her family’s lake house. An avid coffee drinker, she was a familiar face at 7Brew, where the staff knew her well.
Kimberly was preceded in death by her loving father, Danny Garrison. She is survived by her devoted mother, Evelyn of Arkansas; her loving husband, Kevin of Bentonville; her sons, Tyrus and his wife, Kyla, and Nathan and his wife, Ashlynn, all of Bentonville; her daughter, Ashton and her wife, Jenny, also of Bentonville; and her brother, Michael Garrison and his wife, Anita, of Pea Ridge. She was a proud grandmother to Tracen Noetzel and Cambry Morey. Kim is also survived by her nieces, Danielle and her husband, Michael Simmons, and Sara and her husband, Johnny Dunn, along with many other beloved nieces and nephews.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, May 25, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at Fellowship Bible Church in Bentonville. The burial will take place immediately after the service at Bentonville Cemetery.
Kim's legacy of love, warmth, and dedication to her family and community will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.
