Kim Gordon

(From Hedge-Lewis-Goodwin Funeral Home)

Kimberly Faye Gordon, 63, of Webb City, Missouri, known affectionately as Kim to her friends and family, passed away peacefully at her residence on Friday morning, January 5, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. 

Born on February 13, 1960, in Joplin, Missouri, Kim's life was a testament to her selfless, kind, and loving nature, which touched the hearts of all who knew her.

Kim spent her entire life in the area she loved, embracing the community and its people with open arms. She married the love of her life, Robert Gordon, Sr., on March 4, 1977, and together they built a family founded on love, laughter, and shared joys. Kim's role as a mother was one of her greatest accomplishments, and she instilled in her children, Robert Gordon, Jr., and his wife Amanda, and Christopher Gordon, the values of compassion and integrity.

Her six grandchildren, Devinne, Colby, Mikey, Colton, Charlotte, and Dalton, were the light of her life. She cherished every moment spent with them, from the simplest of days to the grandest of celebrations. Kim's family was the cornerstone of her existence, and her unwavering support and guidance were the foundation upon which they thrived.

Kim's brothers, Donnie White and his wife Sherry, of Oronogo, Missouri, and Brad White of Tipton, Missouri, as well as a host of nieces and nephews remember her as a beacon of strength and love within the family. Her parents, Jack and Evelyn (Eppright) White, preceded her in death.

A lifelong resident of the area, Kim's commitment to her family was evident in her work as the manager of Take-A-Break in Webb City, where she served for over twenty years.

Kim's interests were a reflection of her appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. She took pride in keeping a clean home, a space where family and friends always felt welcomed and loved. Fishing was another of Kim's joys, providing her with moments of tranquility and a connection to the natural beauty of Missouri's landscapes.

As we say goodbye to Kimberly Faye Gordon, we celebrate a life lived with purpose and grace. Her spirit will continue to inspire those she leaves behind, and her memory will be cherished forever.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday evening, January 9, 2024, from 5-7:00 p.m. in the chapel of Hedge-Lewis-Goodwin Funeral Home.
