Our beloved Kimberly Joan Clark, mother, sister, daughter, and friend, went to go be with her family on the other side on February 14, 2018. Kim was born on November 6, 1981 in Arlington Heights, IL. When she was just a year old, her parents, Daniel and Karen Buchholz, moved to Peoria, Arizona to begin a new life raising her.

Kim began her academics at Glendale Community College, where she completed her general studies course work. She went back and forth between careers until she decided to become a nurse. She then attended Northern Arizona University and received her Bachelors degree in Nursing in the spring of 2017.

Kim's fun-loving energetic personality could light up any room. Kim impacted so many lives because of her contagious laugh and her warming smile creating lasting memories for every person she knew. She had a passion for music, photography, the ocean, camping, and loved seeking adventure. There was never a dull moment with Kim around and she was the life of the party, everytime. She brought happiness to so many simply by being near them. She was a wonderful mother and her ultimate love was being with her daughter, Tatum.

Kim is survived by her daughter, Tatum, her sisters, Jessica, Kasey, and Carrie, her step-brothers, Neil, Kip, and Kirk, her step-mother, Linda and grandmother, Mona.

Services will be held on Friday, February 23, 2018 at the Regency Mortuary located at 9850 W. Thunderbird Blvd Sun City, AZ 85351, followed by a memorial service at her best friend, Tonia's house, located at 17411 N. 85th Dr. Peoria, AZ 85382.
