Obituary for Kimberly Elizabeth West

Kimberly Elizabeth West
June 2, 1997 – September 21, 2018

Kimberly was born at the Peter Lougheed Centre very early on a Monday morning and loved being a night owl ever since. After a valiant and vigorous fight to overcome aplastic anaemia Kimberly left us peacefully on a Friday morning with Mom, Dad and Grandma by her side.

Kimberly lived as full a life as possible in her 21+ years with us and brought us a lot of joy and happiness (and the odd little frustration). She became fiercely independent and was a strong personal advocate for what she wanted and felt she deserved, traits that carried her through to the end.

Friends and family remember her for the unconditional love she gave everyone and for her willingness to help anyone no matter what the problem was. She truly wanted people to know that they mattered and that they deserved to be happy. Kimberly was very passionate about her team members at the Creekside A&W and made sure that they were given every chance to succeed as a team.

Kimberly loved acting, dancing, reading, quilting, movies with mom or dad and travelling. She really enjoyed her trips to Disneyland, Disney World and Universal Studios – especially the Harry Potter World. She was honoured and privileged when her dance troupe was invited to participate in the Disneyland parade one year.

Most recently, Kimberly was very excited to have been admitted to the Office Professional program at SAIT and was looking to start in September. Unfortunately, she never had the opportunity to pursue this dream.

Kimberly leaves behind her loving parents Guy and Cecelia West, her brother Daniel, and our family dog Copper. She was the beloved grand-daughter to Betty West; and the beloved niece of Karen and Barry Kromm, Shannon West, Tracey West, David and Kathy Russell, and Kevin and Rena Russell. She also leaves behind cousins Joelle, Dana, Jackie, David, Julie, Amanda, Sheree, Jennifer, Jaimy and Scott.

Kimberly was predeceased by her grandparents Dr. G. Roger West, Elsie and Roy Russell, as well as cousin Cody Russell.

A private family ceremony is planned for September 29, 2018. In lieu of flowers Kimberly’s parents ask that you consider donating to the Calgary Health Trust; or to the Canadian Blood Services or another charity of your choice.
