Kimberly Lynn Engle, 54 passed away on Saturday February 12, 2022 at her home in Wickliffe, KY. Kim was born August 4th, 1966, she graduated from Ballard Memorial High School in 1984. After graduation Kim's free spirit took her to live in Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri, Colorado & Tennessee. During her time in Colorado, she earned a bachelor's degree in Accounting from the College of America in Colorado Springs. Kim's deep soul, artistic mind & life experiences gave her the ability of putting pen to paper and creating the most unique & beautiful poems. In 2006 Kim became a published poet. Her book of poetry was published and for sale in paperback for many years online. After her publication she continued writing and was featured many times as a finalist in several international poetry contest. Another way Kim put pen to paper was coloring. She loved to color! Her collection of gel pens and coloring books with completed fully colored pages is nothing short of impressive. If the dictionary had pictures Kim's photo would be right next to the definition of cool. She was one cool chick. She had the most charismatic personality that made everyone she met love her. She was always ready to have a good time and was the life of the party. She spent a lot of her days decked out in her do- rag and sunglasses on the back of a motorcycle, going to rock concerts, watching football (Go Titans) and hosting backyard gatherings for her friends and family. Kim also went by another name. One that she cherished most. To her precious grandkids she was YAYA because in her exact words "she was way to cool to be called grandmother" being a YAYA was something she was so incredibly proud of. She didn't have a conversation with anyone that she didn't brag on or show pictures of her grandbabies.

Kim is survived by her life partner Daniel Morris of Wickliffe; Her mother Sue (Jim) Ingram of Wickliffe; her self-proclaimed favorite child/daughter Lindsey (Nathaniel) Hargrove of Wickliffe, her other self-proclaimed favorite child/son Alex (Tessa) Engle of Marion KY. Her actual favorites, grandchildren Abby and Piper Hargrove, Elijah Shewcraft, Jaylex Engle, and furbabies Lilly Jean and Chuck Morris.

She is preceded in death by her grandmother Bobbie Jean Yarbrough and grandson Ephriam Engle.
