Kim Marie Bejeck was born April 10, 1962 in Concord, N.C., at Cabarrus Memorial Hospital, to William P. Bejeck, Sr. and Deanna Helen (neè Kosma) Bejeck. She was the second of three children. She had a tight bond with her siblings growing up, which lasted throughout their lives. Kim showed an early passion for writing and drawing. She was extremely creative and a life-long lover of the arts. Kim had a soft side for all living things, with cats being her absolute favorite companions. She loved to cook and try new recipes. Kim had a terrific sense of humor and a dry witty personality. She was generous to a fault and volunteered at numerous organizations when she was younger. She was especially gifted and patient with individuals suffering from any sort of handicap.
Although Kim never married or had children of her own, she doted on her nieces and nephews. She was fiercely proud of their accomplishments and loved them unconditionally. Aunt Kimmie, as she was known, created wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
Kim’s career was interesting and varied. Her positions included but were not limited to assisting stock brokers in a brokerage firm; to managing a construction office for a high-ending builder of townhomes; to legal secretary for Donald T. Bucklin, former Partner at Squire Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P., which also included assisting Mr. Bucklin during his time on Capitol Hill in his position as a former Independent Counsel; to being the executive assistant to former MPAA President Jack Valenti; to supporting Anne J. O’Brien, former Partner at Arnold & Porter LLP.
Kim’s hobbies included antiquing, drawing, decoupaging, refinishing furniture, reading, watching old movies and spending time with her family. She used to say she wished she could retire in a little town like Cabot Cove, Maine (from the Murder She Wrote series). That line sums up our sister perfectly, she was a no frills person who loved the simple things in life. She will be missed beyond what words can express and always remembered with love and laughter.
Kim died March 18, 2021 and was preceded in death by her father, William Patrick Bejeck, Sr. and her mother, Deanna Helen Kosma Paprzycki. She is survived by her sister, Debbie (Steve); brother Bill (Beth); nieces Jennifer (Kenny); Kristy (Joe); nephew, Steve (Rachael); nieces Allison, Emily and nephew Brady Bejeck; great-nieces Ava Erickson and Brooklyn Lee; aunts Sally K. Barrett and Carolyn K. Griffin; along with many cousins.
