Kimberly Macklin Obituary

Kim married Gene Macklin on April 20, 1984. The couple stayed in Colorado Springs and raised a family. Kim worked for CSSD11 for 23+ years, most recently as a Community Liaison for the Early Childhood Program.

Kim also enjoyed scrapbooking, hiking, and Avalanche hockey. She met many friends through these hobbies, touching all of them in amazing and inspiring ways. Kim gave much of herself to everyone who was in her life, including her strength, her joy, her positivity, and her beautiful smile.

Kim I will miss your beautiful smile everyday on Facebook. You will be missed dear friend. It was good times at Falcon. Glad for Facebook that it was able to keep the distance of all us travelers together. I pray for your family's strength during this sad time but know they have many great memories with you in their hearts.
