Kim was born on Thursday, August 31, 1961, in Lima, Ohio to the late Harold and Ava (Cash) Melton who survives. On September 10, 1984, she married Paul Kunkleman who preceded her death.
Kim was a member of High Street United Methodist Church, where she played on the Softball League as shortstop. Kim was also involved, with her husband Paul, as Youth Leaders. Later her membership moved with the Church, to Westside United Methodist Church, Lima.
Kim was an avid Pittsburg Steelers fan. She and her son enjoyed watching the games together. Kim especially loved baseball and was a fan of most teams (except the Yankees). She and her good friend Seph frequented many Reds games.
Kim battled her illnesses courageously and never let it stand in the way for her zest of life. Kim's faith and love for the Lord kept her strong and steadfast. Her courage and strength was amazing and it became the strength for her family members to hold on to when her days where rough.
