Kimberly "Kimbo" Akeefe

Kim lived a full life from the beginning. Although her health struggles started as a young child she persevered through them all and never gave up. Through the many challenging times her faith remained strong and her outlook on life never waivered. She was determined to always stay positive. Kim was an amazing business woman, owning several small businesses. She made many new friends and acquaintances over the years whom she enjoyed visiting and talking to.

Kim was funny, creative and full of life. There was never a dull moment with her around. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, spontaneous trips with her husband, crafting, and spending time with her family and best friend Arlene Graves.

We take comfort in knowing she is pain free and healed in the arms of Jesus.
