KIMBER’S STORY

Kimber Louise Palma lived by the motto, "Treat others the way you want to be treated." She is remembered by many as the girl who always greeted them with the warmest smile.

Kimber started every day with a cheer, "Ten, Ten, Ten, DAY," to ensure her day was a ten.  She loved school, and her leadership role as Vice President. She dazzled everyone with her hula hoop skills in the annual talent show.

During her 13 years she developed passions around helping animals and the elderly. Specifically, her Grandma "Bobbie Boo Boo." Kimber would go to Bobbie's house every day after school and help her. All the staff members at the local grocery store, vet and doctors' offices always knew Bobbie would be accompanied by her great granddaughter, Kimber.

Bobbie and Kimber were on their way to the grocery store when they were involved in a fatal car accident, killing them both. Kimber's memory lives on in the lives she touched by being a heroic tissue donor as well as in the hearts and lives of all the family and friends who love her.
