Wilson, Kimberley Ann – age 58, of Grand Lake, passed away on January 15th, 2024 in Halifax Infirmary following a brief battle with lung cancer.
Kim leaves behind the love of her life, Kevin Poole; daughter, Sydney Poole (Jonathan Doiron); sister, Susan Verge; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Donna and Cecil Poole; nephews, Jed Wilson (Katrina), Derek Tully (Barbara), Lewis Verge, and Jacob Wilson; great-niece, Lena Tully; great-nephews, Emerson and Roy Wilson; and so many more cherished family members & friends.
Predeceased by her loving mother, Gloria Wilson (Swift); brother, Kevin Wilson; sister-in-law; Heather Tully; and many more family members and friends.
Kim, being the selfless person she was, always put others ahead of herself. Whether it was at home, work, or just in life in general. Kevin and Sydney were the center of her universe (along with her two fur grandbabies - Sadie & Daisy!) and she made this known to everyone, every single day. This was the purest, unconditional, unbreakable love anyone could ever imagine. Kim will be remembered for many things; her huge heart and loving acceptance of everyone being just one. She had a way of making you feel completely accepted, no matter what your story was. She truly saw the best in everyone, and never made anyone feel judged. It was an honor and a privilege to know, love, and be loved by Kim.
Kim will also be remembered for her love of feeding those who meant the most to her. You could be guaranteed when you showed up at her house, you would be greeted with a smile and a hug, the kettle on and a snack or meal ready for you. Some of the fondest family memories consist of Kim in the kitchen, cooking a meal big enough to feed the army and then some. Although there were lots of famous meals she made, many will miss "mo's sandwiches" - including the Rapco guys from Kevin's work.
If you asked Kim what some of the finer things in life were, she would say her family & friends, home-cooked meals, a hot cup of tea, and staying home with the dogs.
Kim was employed with Oakfield Golf & Country Club for the past decade. She truly loved going to work and looked forward to seeing her coworkers and all of the members each day. To everyone at Oakfield, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your love and support during this time has been incredible. There are no words to express just how appreciative we are.
Prior to Oakfield, Kim was employed with Sobeys for over 25 years. She met many great people here who turned into life-long friends.
There is so much to say, but no words seem good enough for our beloved wife, mother, sister, daughter-in-law, aunt, friend. If love alone could have saved Kim, she would have lived forever.
Special thanks to the emergency department staff in Cobequid Community Care Centre, and the emergency department staff in Halifax Infirmary. Your compassionate and respectful care in our loved one’s final days did not go unnoticed. We as a family appreciate you all.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
A Celebration of Life to honour Kim will be held on Sunday, January 28th, from 2-4 p.m., at Oakfield Golf & Country Club.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations may be made to Canadian Cancer Society.
