Kimberly Anne Kates Obituary

Kimberly Anne Kates, 43, was called upon to Heaven on June 2, 2020. Born October 19, 1976, Kimberly was a vibrant, beautiful woman that could light up any room with her smile. She had a loving heart and would help anyone with anything without hesitation. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside and her contagious laugh was sure to make you smile. To know Kimberly was to love her.
Kimberly was an avid pool player for which she earned many trophies. She enjoyed chatting often with family and friends. She was a loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, aunt and friend.
Kimberly is survived by her mother and step-father, Audrey and Floyd Bilbrey; father, Stephen Kates; son, Aiden Bilbrey; granddaughter, Emerie Bilbrey; grandmother, Bette Caulkins; brother, Robert Kates (Cathy); maternal aunts and uncles, Kathy and Jim Davis; Reba and Don Henry; Sharon and Greg Moulton; Michael and Madori Caulkins; paternal aunts and uncle, Larry and Janet Kate's, and Nancy Kates; and numerous cousins. She is also survived by her "besties", Charise Rasberry and Kimberly Grant, and childhood friend, Sherrie Osby.
Kimberly's presence will be sadly missed but will live on forever in our hearts.
