Kim was a devoted mother, wife, researcher, and educator. She lived her life boldly as an avid gardener, runner, outdoorsman, rock climber, certified Master Scuba Diver, and chemistry professor. She was conscientious, caring, compassionate, and had a knack for helping others get the job done. She continually helped others grow even in the midst of a nine-year battle with cancer. She loved chemistry and delighted in showing others the beauty of this fascinating field.”—Jetty Duffy-Matzner, colleague and friend
