Kimberly Sue Buckley lost her battle with cancer on November 10th, 2011 at St. Peters Hospital in Helena, Montana._x000D_

Kim was a loving mother, daughter, sister and wife. Kim lived in many areas, and recently moved with her husband to Helena, Montana just months prior to her death. She will be missed. _x000D_

Kimberly Sue Jones was born December 29th, 1961 in San Jose, California. She went through grade school and most of high school in San Jose, then moved to Drain, Oregon with her parents to graduate high school. She began working at a hair salon after high school, and obtained her associate degree in dental assisting while working. _x000D_

Kim was blessed with a son, Jarrod in May 1988. She then moved to Judith Gap, Montana with her mother and step-father and began working in Harlowton, Montana. While in Harlowton, she met Brian Buckley and in August 1991 they were married._x000D_

January 1993 another son, Connor was born to the new Buckley family. Another move to Billings, Montana provided employment for Kim and Brian and their first home. The Buckley’s lived in Billings for the next 18 years and watched both boys graduate from Skyview High School. Kim was very proud of her boys and spent many hours tracking their accomplishments. She tolerated the cold weather, the hot weather, and the hard benches watching motocross, wrestling, track, and cross country events quietly cheering for her boy’s._x000D_

Kim’s work proved how much she loved dental assisting and making friends. She worked for several dental offices while in Billings, but was devastated when her cancer treatments prevented her to continue to work at Dr. Greg Dorow’s practice. Her smile before work and upon return, proved how much she loved to work helping others._x000D_

Camping with friends, and enjoying the many splendors Montana has to offer, were some of Kim’s most memorable times. She loved the spring, with wildflowers to photograph and scenic panoramas throughout the State. Shopping for “great†deals was also a passion of Kim’s. She especially loved taking her niece, Trista, out for a “girls day†at the mall. Animals were another of Kim’s loves. There were always at least two dogs and one cat at the Buckley residence. Currently Scrappy, Paisley, Sammy and Tiger reside. Thanks boy’s for all the “scoopsâ€!_x000D_

My deepest sympathy to Kim’s family. I got to know her while we watched wrestling last year. My grandson was on the Skyview team. I, too, had received chemo and we shared stories about our treatment & loss of hair. We became friends on facebook. My heart goes out to all of you.
