She married the love of her life, Richard Huard, in 1978, and had two wonderful children. Kimberly and Richard celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary in August. Kimberly and Richard loved taking cruises with her sister, Carol, and husband, Ken. They enjoyed going to different countries, ports of call and visiting many cities and countries that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Kimberly worked in the medical field for many years, starting with Dr. Kuhn's, followed by a 35 year career at the Yakima Heart Center. She was a breast cancer survivor, but unable to beat stage 4 bile duct liver cancer, which caused her death.
