Kimberly Marie (Beyer) Jenkins age 48, passed away October 25, 2022, at Ocala Regional Medical Center in Ocala, FL.

Kim was born on February 28, 1974, to Terry and Kathy Beyer in Traverse City Michigan. She was a graduate of Traverse City Senior High school and The College of Central Florida. Kim spent several years working in the hospitality industry both in Traverse City, Michigan and in Ocala, FL. Thereafter, she received her Certified Nursing Assistant certification and has been working as a CNA ever since. Being a care giver gave Kim great joy and her patients always had a special place in her heart.

Everyone who knew Kim, knew that she had a huge heart and that she loved others well. Her family meant the world to her. Kim’s daughter Kendal and granddaughter Londyn were the joys of her life. Kim is survived by her parents, Terry and Kathy Beyer, her ex-husband Larry Jenkins, daughter Kendall Jenkins, her granddaughter Londyn Jenkins, her sisters Kelly (Patrick) Acevedo, and Mary (James) Milliron, and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Besides spending time with family, Kim loved bringing joy to others. She had a sarcastic sense of humor and loved to make others laugh. Although she spent the last year of her life battling breast cancer, she couldn’t wait to recover so that she could volunteer and donate to those who were struggling.

Family and friends are invited to attend a celebration of life for Kim on Sunday November 6, 2022. The Celebration of life will be held at 4pm at the Pavilion at Tuscawilla Park in Ocala, FL. In leu of flowers, Kim would want others to make a donation to help patients undergoing cancer treatment.
