Kim was born November 4, 1969 to Arnold and Terry Shonk. She graduated from Fairless High School class of 1988. Kim approached all aspects of life passionately. Her laugh was contagious and her beautiful smile brightened any room. She had an impressive list of abilities despite her life-long disability. Her hobbies included writing her favorite memories, drawing, painting and coloring for her favorite people, training dogs, singing and dancing to 80s musics, fishing but refusing to touch a fish, Dallas Cowboys and OSU football fan, and league bowling. She made friends easily and had a knack for remembering almost everyone she met. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. There will be a celebration of life at the Shonk Farm at a later date. Flowers, donations and condolences may be offered at 10328 Crestline St. SW, Beach City, OH 44608
