Graveside Service: Will Follow in Anaconda, Montana
On a dark and chilly morning, Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010 a beautiful and gentle soul was summoned to forever dwell in the house of her Heavenly Father.
Kim Marie Hurley would have been 51 years old on November 6. She was the eldest of four children born to Robert and Dorothy Hurley of Anaconda, MT. Kim was born and raised in Anaconda where she attended grade school and high school. In high school Kim demonstrated an exceptional athletic ability. She was repeatedly chosen captain of her softball team which won several state championships. When she wasnt controlling 1st base or slamming home runs she was hurling the discus in track and field competitions. Despite the fact that she had the ability to perform at an all-state level in these events she excelled at swimming. She established several state records that remained unbroken for years.
After graduating high school she went on to study marine biology at the University of Oregon, where she had earned a scholarship for her swimming ability. She soon realized that marine biology was not her true vocational calling and took a brief educational hiatus. After resuming her educational pursuits she earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Montana State University. She was employed as an operating room nurse at St. Vincents in Billings. Kimmie enjoyed making a house a home, and had a keen eye for decorating. She loved all animals especially cats and was never without at least one in her home. She enjoyed gardening and was capable of lending a pleasing appearance to the outside of any home that she never lived in.
She loved the outdoors, be it a quiet leisurely ride through the country or a long and arduous hunting trip, she was always eager to participate, she especially loved fishing and was a very accomplished and competent angler, often times to the embarrassment and shame of her humiliated fishing partners
Her life took on some strenuous complications in recent years and anyone wishing to assume the mantle of judgment is more than free to do so.
Kim is survived by her parents, Robert and Dorothy Hurley of Anaconda, brothers, Rob (Shannon) Hurley and their children Landon, Canyon, River of Anaconda, Scott Hurley of Anaconda; sister, Brenda (Ed) McGreevey and their children Taylor and Easton and long time companion John Grywusiewicz and several nieces and nephews, including, Gary, Ed, David, Tommie, Steve, Raita, Eva, Ira, Ian, Erica and Stephanie and Johns brother Iggie.
She had the capacity to love with a generous, sincere and open heart and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.
Visitation will begin on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Miles City with family receiving friends from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Funeral and burial services are pending in Anaconda.
