Kimberly Jean Gillenwater, 44, of Kingsport, TN, passed away on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.
Kimberly was a native of Kingsport. She had beautiful memories of growing up in the area. She was a daddy’s girl and spent a lot of time with her father, Paul, working on cars. Kimberly had extensive knowledge of vehicles. She also met the love of her life in Kingsport. Kimberly loved to skate and years ago met the love of her life, Dewayne, at the skating rink. They started a family and have had an incredible 31 years together. She was a devoted mother and wife who cherished her family dearly. Kimberly loved spending time with her family, and her grandchildren brought her so much joy. She enjoyed going out to eat Chinese, and she always wanted something sweet to eat! Kimberly was always up for a football game, and Alabama was her favorite. She and Duke would also enjoy any good investigation show on tv. The family will add a memorial stone to a unique rose bush in her yard where her father Paul and sister Paula’s ashes have been scattered. Kimberly had such a loving heart, and she will be immensely missed.
