Kim Gallegos Vandrell

Kim Gallegos Vandrell was granted her “Angel Wings” on March 7, 2019.  Kim was one of those Earth Angels, who had changed and transformed lives of others, while hiding her own struggles.  Her face was always lit up with a smile for everyone.  Kim was a hard worker and enjoyed playing video games with her friends from around the world.  She loved her pets.  Her Rottweiler, Princess Leia, her Chocolate Lab, Sniper and her rescued kittens.  She enjoyed art, music and watching old Broadway Musicals.  If Kim became your friend, you could count on a true loyal and loving friend forever.  She had a talent for connection people together.
