Kim Ellen nee (Carlyle), age 71, passed peacefully on February 14, 2025. A beloved Mother, Sister, Nana and Friend, Kim fought fiercely for herself and all those she cared for. In her retirement, Kim enjoyed nothing better than entertaining family and friends with good food, drink and music at her cozy home on Denvic Lake. A skilled and confident driver, Kim loved meandering and mischievous road trips, discovering out of the way antique shops, artisan markets, eateries and beautiful landscapes. She was seldom without her adored fur babies Nia and George.
Kim is predeceased by her dear parents Roy and Gwyneth Carlyle nee (James) and her beloved husband Murray. Survived by her brother Greg, her four cherished children Tara, Carrie (Matt Brown), Tina, and Dean, 3 beautiful grandchildren Delia, Mattie, and Miriam. Also survived by her chosen bonus daughter Charlotte (J.P Fredette), sister of her heart Tami (Todd Bigelow), nieces, nephews, and many special friends.
Kim will be lovingly remembered for her contagious smile, effervescent personality, unstinting support, and bountiful advice.
Kim’s children will welcome her family, friends, and loved ones for a Celebration of Life and tree planting ceremony at her “little piece of paradise” on the lake during the summer months. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Kim’s memory can be made to the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research. Arrangements entrusted to Ranger’s Cremation and Burial Services, Ltd.
Dear family of Kim. My heartfelt condolences to you all. I hope that your best memories of Kim lift you up and give you comfort. In my younger years (early teens) Kim was a dear and cherished friend, as was her family. I will cherish my memories of being with Kim at the lake, fishing for sunfish and singing Neil Diamond songs at the top of my lungs. I was fortunate to have called her friend. Wishing you peace and ease as you navigate this difficult time.
