Kimberly Renée Mills Drinkard's Obituary
Kimberly Renée Mills Drinkard, a nurturing and creative spirit departed this life on March 8, 2021 while surrounded by the loving family that was central to her life. She was born to Larry and Shirley Mills on October 23, 1960 and grew into a talented artist in both painting and written word. Kim was fortunate enough to be able to re-commit herself to both after raising four children with Mark, her husband of 40 years. They were blessed with daughters Casey Renée, Shannon Clare and Jamie Michelle and their son, Mark Stephen Drinkard, Jr. She was a jubilant part of her daughters’ weddings to her favorite sons-in-law, Brian Brandt (Casey), Steven Serpas (Shannon) and Jonathan Alford (Jamie).
As “Mimi” she found joy in her ever-increasing-in-number grandchildren: Presleigh Renée and Ali Harter (Brandt), Wrenn Clare and Graham Steven (Serpas), Raylee Mae (Drinkard) and her most recent arrival, Cooper Gray (Alford).
Along with her husband and family, her sisters Dawn and Tanya, will forever miss Kim’s quiet generosity, sought after counsel and fierce loyalty.
Kim loved helping people and was a source of wisdom, compassion and guidance rarely found elsewhere. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister and friend. For anyone that knew or loved her, the world is now a slightly less joyful place.
In honor of her spirit of advocacy and in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Kim’s name to Choose Love at https://us.choose.love/
