Born to Virgil (Bud) Kidwell and Karilyn Noble Kidwell in Amarillo and as she called it her HOME TOWN! A proud “Amarillo By Morning” Girl!
Kimberly spent her first 5 years in Amarillo, and then 3 years doing mission work in Chicago with her parents. Even though Amarillo was her “Home Town” she also lived in Sandersville Ga., Borger, Plainview, Crosbyton-McAdoo, Quanah, and Panhandle.
She lived independent in Plainview and Quanah. She very much enjoyed having her own apartment. Kimberly loved life and being social. Some of her passions included Special Olympics, Down Syndrome Buddy Walks, The Panhandle Floozies (The Red Hats), Sunday School class, singing in the church choir, performing sign language songs, all kinds of crafts and making homemade gifts. She dearly loved a good gambling trip (right Extra Mom Shirley?). She very much loved the cruises she took with family to Alaska (two times), New York and up to Canada and then her trip of her life time to Hawaii.
She is survived by her mom Karilyn Kidwell and a special friend Glen Phelps; aunts and uncles Gary and Marilyn Grimes, Ronnie and Janie Tyra, all of Amarilllo, Barbara Rector, Dave and Betty Kreyling, all of Pampa; cousins D’Wan Grimes of Austin, Jason and Kendra Cantrell of Dimmitt, Katherine and Leland Borden of Linden, Shad Tyra and Terry Lewis of Amarillo and many more loving cousins and friends that she considered family.
