Besides her immediate family Kim leaves to mourn her many, many aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends too numerous to mention, all of whom held a very special place in her heart. Kim was predeceased by her uncle Donald Johnston; grandparents Jean and Johnnie Johnston and Halla and Fred Jonasson; and cousin David Peterson.

The family would like to thank Dr. Verrelli, his colleagues and nursing staff, the nurses on 5B, the emergency, ICU and CCU staff at St. Boniface Hospital.
