On November 24, 1980, Kimberly married the love of her life, Tommie Lee Ratcliffe, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Their union was blessed with three beautiful children. Kimberly worked at home for many years caring for her children and her husband. Her passion in life was to care for her family. About 15 years ago, she found that she also had a passion for gardening and became a master florist. Kimberly was a proud wife and mother of United States Army Veterans. She was an avid gun collector and she loved to shop. Kimberly also enjoyed spending time out on her boat skiing and tubing. She was a very successful hunter and set the state record for a bear in Michigan. Riding her Harley and driving her Mustang 5.0 were her favorite pastimes. The faster, the better.
