Kim was born on September 17, 1956, to Jess and Vivian Osborne. She graduated from Field Kindley High School in 1974. During her school years, she was active in Rainbow Girls and was a proud member of the Drum and Bugle Corps, experiences and friendships she cherished throughout her life.
Kim dedicated many years of service to her community and career. She worked at Public Finance in Coffeyville before beginning a long and respected 36-year career with CVR Energy, where she built lasting friendships and earned the admiration of many coworkers.
On August 25, 1981, Kim married the love of her life, William T. “Bill” Westervelt. Together they built a strong and loving family centered around faith, hard work, laughter, and devotion to one another.
Kim is survived by her husband, Bill Westervelt; her four sons: Brandon and Rae Jean of Dearing, Kansas; Eric and Alisha of Spring Hill, Kansas; Chad and Stacea of Pittsburg, Kansas; and Dustin and Heather of Columbus, Kansas.
