She is also survived by her uncle Robert Patterson-East Lyme, Connecticut, and cousins Aimee Patterson Pasarella-Lakeland, FL, Rob Patterson-Old Lyme, CT, Leona Thomas-Philadelphia, PA and Heather Sagan-Monson, MA.
Kim was born October 17, 1969. She graduated from the Bromfield School in Harvard and from Lesley College Threshold Program in Cambridge with a certificate in Early Childhood Education.

Two years ago, she and her children relocated to Farmington, Maine.
