Kimberly Mears Obituary

They passed away with angels at their side.

Kimberly and her beloved son Raley were killed in a recent tragic car accident.

Kimberly was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on October 14, 1963. She graduated Blair Jr. College with an accounting degree and went on to work as an accountant over the years and later as a waitress.

Kim always considered her most important job was being a mother to her children who loved her so much. She was always there for them and they always came first.

Kimberly is survived by her husband Larey, her mother Patty Pauley, her father David Orr, Gilroy, CA; a daughter Marena Antonetty, son Dakota Halley of Colorado Springs, brother Alex Orr, Los Angeles, CA; brother Aaron Orr, Moline, IL; her paternal grandmother Elizabeth Orr-Bright, Marion, IA; mother-in-law Carol Guyett, Klamath Falls, OR; brother-in-law Lonnie and family, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Kim was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, Leo and Mary Wiseman of Olin, IA and her paternal grandfather Jack Orr.

Raley would have started school this year as a 5th grader at Stratmoor Elementary School. Raley loved his mother so much and went everywhere with her.

Raley had lots of friends to play with, always running around "playing army" and spending nights with them. There were always many kids at the Mears residence.

Raley loved to swim, play video games (which he was really good at), ride his bike and go cart, and he had his special doggie friend "Sadie May" always following him around.

Raley is survived by his father Larey (Raley was his only son); brothers Dakota; three sisters Marena, Nicole and Theresa; his maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.

Raley will be remembered by his great smile and bubbly personality, who loved to dress up in a suit and tie for special occasions.

Raley will be missed by all who loved him, but is with his mom and the angels. He was a special little guy.

They will both be missed more than words can ever say. They will live in our hearts forever.

Services will be held Friday, Aug. 15 at 1pm, at the Chapel of Memories, 829 S. Hancock St. (Fountain and Hancock), followed by a reception at the Holiday Village clubhouse at 3pm. Everyone welcome.
