Heaven received another angel on May 28th, 2014. Kim fought a valiant fight for 5 years from stage 4 ovarian cancer. She didn't let that stop her and 'lived strong'.

She is survived by her parents Jim and Gerrie and her three sisters, Dawn Marie Lemmond, Kelly Martinez, and Jennifer Adams. She and her husband, Joe Shields, lived in Denver the past 30 years. Kim earned her masters degree with honors.

Kim taught school there at Molholm Elementary, and Colorow Elementary. Her skills as a teacher and her love of children brought her high acclaim from students, their parents as well as her peers.
