Kimberly Ann Beasley

Our amazing friend, Kimberly “Kimmie” Ann Beasley, passed away unexpectedly at her home on November 7, 2022, with her loving dog, Jackyl by her side. This is a tribute from her closest friends to acknowledge and honor her life here with us. Her absence will be felt deeply by many.

Kimmie was born October 6, 1966, in Northern California. Her hometown was Oakland, California, and she was an avid Oakland Raiders fan. She was a true and loyal fan of her football team and you would rarely see Kimmie without her sporting some form of Raiders gear. Kimmie also loved her white truck, which was well-known around town due to the large Raiders logo on the back window.

Kimmie loved camping with friends. If it was paired with some type of concert all the better. She enjoyed going to concerts with her friends, especially her bestie forever, D Cooper Linde. Floating and rafting were also activities she enjoyed. Kimmie enjoyed a good road trip, and even though she didn’t enjoy gambling, Las Vegas was always a favorite. Her favorite side kick, Big Red, was rarely without Bud Light or Pepsi (with REAL sugar, please!).

Kimberly was a good friend to many. Her friends knew that the party was about to get good when she arrived. Kimmie had an infectious smile and a great laugh. She was also a pro at cracking a joke at the most inappropriate times which usually earned her a laugh or two from those around her. She loved to make her friends laugh and enjoy themselves. If she didn’t give you a hard time or tease you, then you weren’t close friends.

Kimmie is joining her brother, Paul Beasley, who preceded her in death. She spoke very fondly of Paul and kept him close to her heart, celebrating his birthday every year. She is survived by her mother.

The list of those who mourn her death is long. She will be greatly missed by all, but especially her adopted family, the Linde’s. D and Lee Linde made her feel a real part of their family. It wasn’t often you’d see Kimmie without her BFF, D, by her side. Although Kimmie had no children or grandchildren, she enjoyed spending time with and spoiling the Linde kids and grandkids. In addition to her human friends, Kimmie’s fur-babies: Jackyl, the faithful dog; and Tucker & Cooper, her two kitties, were a source of love, affection and humor and she loved them dearly.

Instead of a traditional funeral, her friends have organized a Celebration of Life on Sunday, November 20, 2022, at The Flying Goose in the Shilo Inn, Idaho Falls, beginning at 1:30 pm. The Celebration is open to all those that knew and loved Kimmie. Please bring your favorite memories and funny stories about Kimmie to share them and to remember how amazing her soul is and will always be.

There will be a fundraising raffle to help collect for her end-of-life expenses. All money above and beyond those expenses will be used to help her mother during this difficult time. A legacy account on Facebook has been set up for those who knew and loved Kimmie to share thoughts and honor her. For more information about her Celebration and the raffle, please visit her Facebook Legacy account under Kimberly Beasley.

We love you, Kimmie!
