Her determination led her to greatly improve the quality control department with two software programs that she built and implemented. 

Kimberly was an advocate for self-love, and never missed an opportunity to work out, especially with her Zumba girls. Her life’s mission was to help others, and she did so selflessly all of her life. Kimberly’s favorite color was purple and she loved sunflowers.
