Kim’s dad was my music teacher in high school and he introduced Kim and I back in the 70’s. Our parents were friends and remained so until all of them passed. Kim was always friendly and talented and she will be missed.

I first met Kim at the Our Lady of Victory parish.  Such as sweet person! Super kind. And her voice - so beautiful! May she rest in the arms of our Precious Lord. She sings with the choirs of angels. I'll miss you Kim. God bless you and your family.



All these memories truly capture Kim‘s spirit and zest for life. I had the pleasure of working with her at the Pastoral Center of the Diocese of Fresno and at Our Lady of Victory parish. She was a competent and compassionate person. Like so many I was blessed by her love and talent for music. May God grant her a place of rest were the music of the Angels surrounds her for all eternity. Thanks for everything, Kiddo!

Kim was an amazing neighbor who our family knew most of our lives. She was a vivacious spirited individual who had a wonderful sense of humor and would always refer to us as “hey kiddo!” She will be deeply missed. 

Kim was my first friend at SJM when I transferred there from public school midway through 9th grade. I felt like a fish out of water, but I found a kindred spirit in Kim, and we bonded over band right away. I played clarinet, and she encouraged me to learn bass clarinet, too. We had way too much fun, in and out of band, and singing together in choir at Sacred Heart. We took very different paths as “grownups” but we never lost our core connection. She was a talented, strong, feisty woman who fought and kept fighting to stay here for her family. Rest well, Kim. You left a wonderful legacy.

I had the pleasure of going to high school with Kim... we sat together in band since we both played the sax... Kim was a wonderful musician she could play anything.... and so much fun.... may she rest easy 

There are too many memories to attempt to find one particular to share. Kim was a beautiful soul. Curious, Daring, Talented beyond belief. She had a fierce sense of humor that came out in the most wonderful ways. She loved her children and grandchildren, her garden and had a passion for tie-dye. She will be missed by many, especially those of us from the Class of 80. 

We met in High School. Kim was always a good and caring person with a beautiful voice. She will be missed and remembered dearly by everyone that knew her. God rest her soul. 

Be at peace dear friend. So grateful for the gift of music that you shared with us. You remain in our hearts.

Kim was truly a good soul who gave so much of herself in service to the Church. I am blessed to have known her. My love and prayers are with her family. May she enjoy a wonderful reunion with her parents.
