Kim was known for her strong morals, ethics, advocacy, love and compassion for the individuals she served.
Most weekends, Kim could be found, feet in the sand, enjoying the beach with her best friend, Suzanne. Kim loved RVing, traveling and spending time on her boat at her summer homes in Fitzwilliam and Seabrook, N.H. She is fondly remembered by her gatherings, backyard BBQs and her full of life sense of humor. Her two grandchildren, Jakobie and Beckett Gaspar, absolutely adored her as much as she adored them, and she shared a very special bond with them.
