Kim Adams was the first friend I made at VA and I shall miss her! Yesterday as word spread I heard comments like “She always treated me the same as she treated anyone else, even though I’m only a 5”, “She always helped me”, “She was beautiful inside and out”.
What a lady! What a friend! We will all miss you, Kim!
Ronnie and Family,
I’m very saddened by the passing of Kim, I remember her with such fond memories from our study hall at GHS.
With Condolences,
Kathy Youngblood-Johnson (’74)

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Kim at the VA. For awhile we would walk from the VA to Dixon street solving the problems of the world. I remember when she bought her first computer at Montgomery wards. She was a very smart and sweet woman. I was always mad at her for planning to retire before me because she was younger.I will truely miss her. But good to know we will have an angel watching over us.

I was so sorry to hear of Kim’s passing. She and I became good friends during my time at the CAVHS, and partnering as presenters at VA conferences. She was loving and funny, smart and savvy.
