Kimberly Howe, 60, of Valparaiso, passed away on February 7, 2025. She was born on August 24, 1964, in Gary, Indiana. Kimberly graduated from Hobart High School in 1983 and went on to live a life filled with love, compassion, and a deep devotion to her family and friends.
Kimberly was known for her vibrant personality, boundless generosity, and the incredible way she brought joy to everyone around her. She was a great cook, and her meals were a source of comfort and warmth for her family and friends. She had a heart that embraced everyone, and to many, she was like a mother to all—offering wisdom, love, and support without hesitation. A devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and friend, Kimberly’s love for her family was unmatched. Her kindness and support left an indelible mark on all who knew her, and she will be remembered with deep affection by those whose lives she touched.
Kimberly is survived by her beloved husband, Jeffrey Howe; children, Sean, Jason, Heather (Frank), Brandon (Tyler), Brooke; stepchildren, Marie and Megan (Josh); 13 grandchildren; her cherished dog, Peanut; and her four grandpups.
