Kimberly also had a heart for serving her community. She volunteered with funeral meals, the food bank, the Pregnancy Help Center, Relay for Life, and boy scouts (1980-1990's). Whether offering a helping hand, supporting a family in need, or contributing to a community effort, she gave her time and energy to causes that mattered to her.

She is also survived by her siblings, including her Karen Hill (Bill), Nancy Blystone (fiancé, Travis Whitney), Ken Blystone, Patty Long (Tom), Brenda Hill (Walt). She was preceded in death by her brothers Francis K, Jon Kevin, and Tom Blystone.

Kimberly also held a special place in her heart for her close friends, Ron and Laurie Anderson, whose friendship was a meaningful part of her life.

Kimberly's legacy lives on through her family, her faith, the people she served, and the many lives she touched through her kindness and generosity.
