Kim Elaine Scheer passed from this life

into the light of her eternal life surrounded by her family on

March 6, 2011.

Her courage and determination in the

face of cancer was an inspiration to us all. Oh sweet daughter,

sweet sister, sweet aunt, sweet wife, sweet mother, sweet friend,

we all will miss you so. Though the sorrow of your passing is hard

to bear, we understand that you had to go. May God hold you in his

loving embrace until we meet again.

Kim was born in Shelby, on Feb. 18,

1960 to Robert and Esther Mitchell. She was the youngest daughter

in a family of 12 siblings. She attended grade school in Shelby and

graduated from Shelby High School. She worked for a time at the

O’Haire Manor and also as a dispatcher at the Toole County

children: Samuel, Marcie, and Steven. In 1991, O.D. was transferred

children and their accomplishments and they were an inspiration to

her. While in Libby and at the time of her death Kim was employed
