It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our much loved mother, daughter, sister, wife and best friend, Kimberly Ann Biro (nee Pearce) on Thursday, February 16, 2023 at the age of 59 years.

Kim fought a long and courageous battle with cancer. Through it all, she remained positive and chose to live life to the fullest, spending time with family and friends making memories that we will all cherish forever. She was the most caring and fun-loving person, you could always count on her to lend an ear, give a helping hand, or offer words of advice and encouragement. She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her.

Kim was born in Edmonton and grew up in St. Albert, while spending many fun weekends in Alberta Beach at her family’s cabin. Kim settled in Morinville in 1986, and was an active member of the community, where she proudly raised her boys, Kolton and Landon. Kim met her husband Blaine in 2011. Their loved flourished over the next 12+ years, travelling and enjoying great times at the lake. Kim followed in her mother’s footsteps and had a successful career in banking, where she committed to over 31 years of industry service (Credit Union/Scotia Bank), before retiring in 2018 . Kim’s happy place was at the lake campground where she enjoyed gardening, playing games, golfing, crafting, and socializing with their many friends.

Kim is survived by her loving husband, Blaine; sons, Kolton Massey and Landon Massey; parents, Ron and Marjory Pearce; sister, Candice (Allen) Brent; nephew, Emerson Brent; as well as numerous extended family and friends.

It is with sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Penny. She lived her life helping people anyway she could to make their lives better. Penny worked at SKILLS for 27 years.

Penny forged many, many friendships which were very apparent through her sickness. She was never alone. For that, the family gives many gracious thanks.

Penny loved to go to concerts. One highlight was going to see Elton John in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with Sheldon. Pen also loved going to Vancouver Island to visit and travel the sites there. Penny always looked out for her boys and was always there to love and support them. Penny’s most recent pride and joy was her granddaughter Nova.

Light a campfire, sit down with your pets and family, and think of Penny. That’s when her pretty smile was the biggest and brightest.

Penny is survived by her sons, Corey Brown and Kalon Dawson and his daughter Nova.

Brothers, Buzz (Zeta) ,Merton (Doreen), and Sheldon.

Penny was pre- deceased by her parents, Ray and Verna Brown; sister, Marlene Brown; and nephew, Jared Brown.
