Obituary of Kimberly S. Morris

Kimberly Knab Morris, 61, of Lakewood, NY, passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. She was born in Buffalo, N.Y., on February 19, 1962, the daughter of the late George and Doris (Potter) Knab. Kim grew up in Varysburg, N.Y., the youngest of four children. She graduated from Attica High School in 1980 and subsequently received a degree from Bryant and Stratton College in Buffalo, N.Y. After college, Kim was employed at Buffalo General Hospital for many years in various capacities, most notably in Nursing Education. She also worked at The Resource Center and at the Chautauqua Center, in Jamestown, N.Y. Kim leaves behind her loving son, Justin Morris; siblings David (Gail) Knab of Rochester; Debbie (Roger) Hogan of Varysburg; Laurie (Steve) Valenti of Clifton Park, and dear friend Bruce Stebbins of Panama, NY, as well as aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, great nieces and a great nephew, and many close friends. Kim will be remembered for her generous spirit, her quick wit and playful personality. She was a wonderful mother, her son her greatest joy and accomplishment. Kim had a first-rate green thumb, a knack for naming her cars, and an uncanny sixth sense about people. She also loved the beach, playing with her dogs and watching the Buffalo Bills. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, at St. Paul's United Church of Christ, 11 Washington St., Attica, NY.
