Kimberly “Kim” was born March 26, 1958, in North Platte, Nebraska, to Dale Edwin and Willa Jean (Pease) Kirts. She grew up in North Platte and attended North Platte High School, graduating in 1976. She explored life’s ventures and lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, from 1977 through 1986 before returning to North Platte. She then attended Mid-Plains Community College and received an associate degree in Dental Assisting. Kim was a dental assistant with Dr. Charles J. Boettcher, DDS in North Platte for nearly 30 years.
Kimberly was a devoted daughter, mother, sister, and friend, who touched the hearts of all who knew her, and will always be remembered for her kindness, caring, compassion, and always putting others before herself. She was spot-on with her wit with a joke or observation, always daring to share her true opinion, would win you over with her big cheeky smile, and shared her acceptance of friendship with a boisterous laughter that will be a lasting memory for all that she came to know.
Kim is survived by her two sons, Matthew Dermer of Missoula, Montana, and Jeremy Dermer of North Platte, Nebraska; one granddaughter, Josephina of North Platte; siblings Pam Youngs of North Platte,NE, Jeff (Jennifer Bosche) Kirts of Colorado Springs, CO, Steven (Julie) Kirts of Ames, IA, and Patrick (Lana) Kirts of Papillion, NE; and nephews and nieces, Chelsey Spady, Jacob Kirts, Tanner Kirts, Hunter Kirts, Sarah Kirts, Kyle Kirts, Connor Kirts, Spencer Kirts, Haley Kirts, and Landon Kirts.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and Willa Kirts; infant sisters, Angela, Teresa and Joanne; and husband, Gregory Dermer of Torrington, Wyoming.
