Kim thoroughly enjoyed feeding and watching wild birds from her front porch. She was of the Christian faith and truly had a servant’s heart. She was constantly giving and helping in any way she could. Kim loved to garden, even though her gardening skills were questionable at times according to Dan. She loved all her family deeply, her precious friends, and telephone friends she kept in contact with. Kim and Dan were married on February 3, 1978, and had 45 wonderful years together. Their time together was priceless.
Kim is survived by her husband, Dan, of the family home; two daughters, Alyssa Collins and her husband CJ, of West Plains, Alyson Dexter Belt and her husband Josh, of West Plains; sister, Deborah Owen of Marshfield, Mo; two brothers, Brent Irwin of St. Elizabeth, Mo & Brian Irwin of Butler, Mo; aunt Joyce Noyce of DeSoto, Mo; aunt Norma Wall of Stoutland, Mo; aunt Melba Stovall, of Springfield, Mo; uncle Mike Stovall, of Springfield, Mo; uncle Terry Stovall of Lake Ozark, Mo; several nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
