Kim Marina “Kymm” Thibert, 35, Columbia City, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday Sept. 10, 2015, and with her she took a piece of our hearts.

Kymm was born March 6, 1980 in Wales, Mass.

She loved spending time with family and friends. She had a smile for everyone and saw the best in people. Kymm enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, her flowers and watching the New England Patriots and was a devoted fan.

She loved Christmas and made ornaments that she gave to those she loved. Kymm worked at Kroger in Columbia City for several years, where she enjoyed the people she worked with and met while there.

Kymm was looking forward to spending time with her “soul mate” Nick Maggard who she was making preparations to marry in Nov. 2016.

Kymm leaves behind, her fiance Nick Maggard of Columbia City; four siblings: Tanya Boehly of Springfield Mass.; Mai Grover of North Brookfield Mass.; Leigh (Jeff) Grise of Spencer Mass.; and Ben Coupal of Merrit Island Flor.; four nephews and four nieces who she loved dearly, as well as family and friends who will miss her smile and laugh.

A gathering to celebrate Kymm is planned from 2-5 p.m. Saturday Sept. 26, at American Legion Post 98, Columbia City, Indiana. Please stop by to share stories and experiences.

In lieu of flowers donations are welcome to help with final expenses.

Arrangements are being completed by Smith and Sons Funeral Home, Columbia City.
