Kimberly Nicole Ethridge's Obituary
A beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend, Kimberly Nicole Ethridge, left this world unexpectedly at 24, on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, in Houston, Texas during a brief hospital stay. Born in Houston, Texas on May 29, 1997, to Mickey and Cathy (Colvin) Ethridge, Kimberly grew up on the east side of town in the North Shore community.
Kimberly graduated from North Shore Senior High in 2014, a year early. She attended San Jacinto College majoring in Child Development. Most recently she was employed at My Growing Place 2.0 After-School program in Lufkin, Texas, as a classroom teacher of 3rd and 4th graders. She was a gifted teacher and loved and adored her students.
Kimberly was a lover of all things Marvel, and enjoyed attending movies with her sister and dad, building Legos, the beach, crafts and her beloved her cats. She was funny, outgoing and sassy, but she was also introverted and introspective. She was fiercely loyal to her family and friends and we will always remember her infectious smile, angelic giggle, incredible blue eyes and caring personality. Her presence in our lives will be sorely missed.
When you think of Kimberly, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.
Kimberly was preceded in death by her grandparents Charles and Sunny Ethridge, and grandfather Larry Colvin. She leaves behind her parents Mickey and Cathy Ethridge; grandmother Pat Colvin; sister Lisa Miley; and brother Matthew Ethridge; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
