Kimberly K. (Holm) Hudon, age 55, of St. Charles, IL passed away suddenly on Friday, November 21, 2014 at her home. 

Yurs Funeral Home in Geneva, Ill., handled the service arrangements.

She was born March 4, 1959 in Waterloo, IA to Robert and Marlene (nee Schutz) Holm.

She graduated from North High School in West Union, IA in 1978.  She later received an Associate Degree in Photography Media in 1980.  Shortly after, she moved to West Chicago, IL to begin her work career. 

She married the love of her life, Keith Hudon, on March 1, 1997    

For many years she worked for the West Chicago Park District & The Press Publications.  For the last 20 years, Kim was employed as a nanny for the Werner boys in St. Charles.

Kim and Keith were blessed with their son Tyler in 2000. 

When Kim wasn’t working, she was an avid gardener; she created and maintained a beautiful landscaped yard and home.  She was a creative decorator in her home, making everything from curtains to brick walkways, painting, designing shelving and cases for her talented husband to make for their home.  

She was an athlete, fierce competitor and loved to be active and fit, still holding high school track records.  She coached her nieces, nephews & sons in basketball, softball, track & baseball teams. 

She loved being on the Mississippi River to water ski, fish, & sit on the deck and watch the water go by.

Kim really enjoyed traveling along with her husband while he played softball across the United States.

She was always willing to talk with you, help when needed. She was the strong support for many people in her life.  She was a very attentive Aunt and would always be present, available for conversation and full of hugs.

Kim is survived by her husband, Keith, of nearly 18 years, their son Tyler (St. Charles, IL), stepchildren Nathan (Jackie) Hudon and Rebecca (Dan) Gazalla and four grandchildren, Charlotte, Evelyn, Nate, as well as her parents Robert & Marlene Holm (Harpers Ferry, IA, formerly of West Union) & two sisters Theresa (Doug) Meyer (West Chicago, IL) and Cynthia Holm (West Union, IA) along with her nieces and nephews Jeremy, Brittany, Ethan, Nicholas, Luke & Rachel.
