Kimberly dedicated over 30 years of her life to helping special needs children through 25 years in Rhode Island and 8 years in the Ledyard School System as a paraeducator. Along with that, she operated several christian sober houses where she aided in the recovery of dozens of substance abusers as a drug and alcohol counselor. When not in the classroom she could be found lending a helping hand to any who needed it or being the loudest cheerleader at Ledyard sports venues.
She is survived by her 3 children: Mackenzie, Rylee, and Riccio Hope; and her brothers Tony and Vincent Goodwin.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, October 18th from 11am-1pm at Fulton-Theroux Funeral Home, 181 Ocean Ave., New London.
