Kim V. Wilson, age 60, passed away on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, at her home in Holland, Michigan with family. She was born in Cooperstown, NY, to the late Nellis and Betty (Waner) Van Slyke. Kim graduated Fort Plain High School in 1975, attended Hope College in Holland and received a BSN in Nursing from Grand Valley State University. She married Douglas S. Wilson on June 30, 1990. She is survived by her husband Doug, children Cody (VanSlyke), Hilary and Avery; brother, David and sister-in-law Pat VanSlyke; sister, Debra and Al Mastroianni; and nephews, Nick and Dustin. Kim worked as an RN at Holland Hospital for many years.
The family will have an online memorial page at Forever Missed.com.
Kim's story- a work in progress
Kim's story will take some time to tell. She invested sixty years into it and it's all original.You might think that I, Doug, the doting husband I am, would have had plenty of time to write her life story by now. But, no, Doug's late. Kim - rolleyes
For those of you who don't know, Kim died due to brain cancer. Gliobstoma multiforme stage 4. The worst. It's terminal. Kim's an RN. She knew the odds. There are just a few possible strategies. Kim's was to make the most of every day. After surgery last August 10, Kenzie gave her this cool Audry Hepburn sytle comb over hair-do that looked just fabulous. And if you know Kim and sister Deb, it was off to TJMaxx! Haha! What fun! Really.
Kim had little to no pain at all, all year. And other than the stretches with chemo during radiation and after with Avistan infusions, she had minimal prescription medications. Kim did explore alternate non-prescription medication as published by NCI to remarkable effect, I believe.
As her parents before her, Kim donated her body to science. We will receive the ashes from her cremated remains in a few months.
There will be no formal memorial. Most family and friends are far away.
We hoped there would be a window of time we could get back to her hometown, Fort Plain, New York to see the old gang one more time, but, no. I know you all have some great memories going back to the early days. I certainly have my share just from the 27 years that I knew Kim! Haha. The Blues Train. Trundling up the valley to Cooperstown. Just great times. The Reunions. Anything to do with Larry was generally going to be fun! I missed the Duck boat rides but I remember the racing at Saratoga and everything in between. We love you guys!
Thanks to all, to so many of you who sent cards, letters, blessings, prayers, food, and best wishes.
I have to thank, in particular, Hilary. More than anyone, she helped me through this difficult year.
As I mentioned, this is a work in progress. Thank you for understanding and patience.
