Kimberly R. Burgess, 29, of OKC; wife of Damon Burgess; daughter of David and Ramona Klaus; administrative assistant to the CEO, Federal Employees Credit Union.
She was known for the friends she had made – from the time she was a 3 year old who set out each morning from the house on her Big Wheel, arms loaded with fruit, in search of new playmates. “Her lifelong hobby (was) collecting friends,” said her father, David W. Klaus.
A 1983 graduate of Evergreen High School outside Denver, Colorado, she spent a year at the university of Northern Colorado before moving to Denver in 1985 and managing a Red Cross shoe store. She married her husband, Damon, in November of 1993, and his Air Force career took them to Columbia, South Carolina, and finally to Tinker AFB in 1994.
She spoke with her many friends on a weekly basis no matter where she was, vacationing with them and her family in far0-flung places like Mexico and San Francisco. “She was very happy and outgoing,” said Damon. Noted lifelong friend Kim Sell, “she was funny and had a great sense of humor. You could talk to Kim, and she would never (judge you). She had a hundred friends, and she was a best friend to each one.”
On July 16, 1995, Kim’s birthday, friends and family gathered in Evergreen, Colorado, to hang angels on the branches of Colorado Blue Spruce planted beside Evergreen Lake in her memory.
