She leaves behind her best friends Bill and Susie Allender, Barbara and James, Lingo, Donna Johnson and several family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her son Ronnie, her parents, her sister Cyrstal Creecy, and her brother, Ronald Liscum.

She spend most of her life as a paralegal in family law. When she wasn’t doing that, she spent many years taking care of babies, and did so with much love. Kim enjoyed scrap booking, quilting, photography, air boating, camping and spending time with her family and friends.
