Norway

Kimberly Sue (Houser) Brockschink, 47, passed away peacefully Friday, Sept. 15, 2017, at St. Anthony's

Hospital in St. Petersburg, Fla., after a

battle with cancer.

She was born May 21, 1970, in Norway,

Iowa, to Ken and Kathy Houser. Kim was a 1988 graduate of Norway High School. She graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 1992 with a bachelor's degree in

design and human environment.

Kim is survived by her husband, Evan Whittle; three children, Ashley

Brockschink, Jave Brockshink and stepson, Tyler

Whittle; parents, Ken and Kathy; three brothers and one sister, Kevin and wife Tiffany, Kris and wife Lisa,

Karrie and husband Brian, and Kory and Jenn; along

with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles

and friends, whom she loved very much.

She worked as a project manager for Boyd

Construction in St. Petersburg. Kim was very passionate about spending time with friends and family, traveling

to the islands, boating, scuba diving and jewelry making.

She had a unique gift of bringing joy into the life of anyone she encountered and making everyone feel

comfortable no matter the situation. There were no strangers in life, only friends she had not met yet. Her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who

knew her. She always took the time to see the beauty in everything, especially sunsets, and would hope that

everyone makes sure they appreciate and enjoy the beauty that always surrounds them.

A celebration of life will be held in Florida and Iowa. Family, friends and others whose lives Kim touched are invited to a celebration of life on Oct. 28 from 4 to 7

p.m. at St. Michael's Parish Center, 512 Evergreen St., Norway.
