Kimmi was an outstanding young woman who embodied amazing traits, pouring them into those around her. She was a top 10% graduate of Riverton High School in 2018 and was awarded the President's Education Award for outstanding academic achievement. She was an accomplished athlete, playing basketball, volleyball, and softball. She was a part of back to back softball state championships. 

Kimmi was also an extremely dedicated student, graduating from NEO A&M Nursing Program in 2021 and completing her Bachelors in Nursing through WGU in 2022. Her short career in nursing impacted many lives in the local community. Her ambition and hard work were recognized by her peers, and she was slated as a representative of the Council of Nursing Excellence. 

She was an active member of Grace Community Church in Riverton, Kansas, and spent her free time with her family, playing board games and caring for her nieces and nephews. She was especially fond of her dog Rosco, who she spoiled daily. She was a bright light in everyone’s life and was known for her organizational skills and ability to read a room and find a way to make any situation better. She and her fiancé Bayley were inseparable, whether it was on the couch watching their favorite movies, playing board games or attending sporting events. 

Kimmi was especially proud of planning the wedding of her fairy tale dreams and marrying her first and only love. She loved all things Disney and took many vacations with her friends and family embracing magical times with those she loved most.
