August 19,1966 ~ June 3, 2020
Born August 19,1966 in Kansas City, Mo. to William J and Connie I Poe.
Kim went to be with the Lord on June 3,2020. She was at home with her family by her side. Kim was one of God’s special children. Kim gave more love than what she required. Her smile was infectious. Kim was not expected to live long; she was baptized at the hospital the day she was born and then again by choice on Aug 30,2009. Kim was in the hospital more than she was home the first few years of her life. To her brothers and sisters Kim seemed just like a normal child of the Poe Tribe.
When Kim was almost five she went to live at Higginsville State School for about two yrs. She participated in the self help program to learn how to take care of herself and learn domestic skills. Kim attended Lakeview Woods State School. She participated in cheerleading and bowling with the Special Olympics. Kim lived with her older sister Teresa (Teasa) for a short period before she moved into Cedars group home. Kim loved to go to work at the workshops and took her work very seriously. Kim was always ready to get on the bus for work wind, rain, sleet, or snow. When they called off work due to weather, she would let you know she did not like that.
Kim went to live with her (baby) sister Diana and husband Brian Norton (she called him Norton). There she flourished and was very happy! She was an avid Chiefs, race car and UFC fights fan. She loved to GO!!!! Kim loved to sing and dance to all types of music. Kim loved to be with her family, play cards (collected decks from all over) and she would spend lots of time copying versus out of her bible. Kim was later baptized again at her request.
