Kim W. Stevenson

She was preceded in death by her father John “Joe” Whalen III, aunt Norma Lee Gates, uncle James “Pat” Bloxsom. She is survived by her husband, John Stevenson, her daughters Kelli Stevenson and Megan Stevenson, her brother John “Jay” Whalen IV (wife Dottie Jo), and mother Marlyn Bloxsom Whalen.

Kim was an incredibly loving and hardworking woman with a tremendous heart, often putting the needs of others before herself. An avid animal lover, she was particularly fond of cats and giraffes. In her free time, Kim loved spending time at the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, where she was an active member. If not at the zoo or working, Kim could be found curled up on the couch with her cats. In addition to her family members, Kim will also be dearly missed by her cats, Oliver, Binx, and Tucker, as well as the family dog, Gunner. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Virginia Zoo or Giraffe Conservation.

A Celebration of Life will be held 1:30 pm, Friday, October 7, 2022 at Indian River Baptist Church, 1600 Laurel Ave., Chesapeake, VA 23325. Inurnment at Rosewood Memorial Park.
