She met the love of her life, Eduardo, in 2010, and they married in Las Vegas on July 18, 2015. While she and Eduardo weren’t blessed to have children, they had their dog, Stilton, who they love very much.

She had a very outgoing personality, an infectious laugh and a beautiful smile that will be missed by all who knew her.

Kimberly was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Ernest Ailor and Anna Mae Dodge; and her maternal grandparents, Bobby and Ernestine Peters.

She is survived by her husband, Eduardo Gonzalez Garcia; her parents David and Karen Dodge of Winter Garden; her two brothers, Ryan Dodge (Tamara) of Winter Garden and Craig Dodge of Groveland; her three nephews, Evan, Ty and Owen Dodge; along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Kimberly enjoyed watching baseball, specifically the Atlanta Braves. She learned to love baseball while watching her two brothers play ball her entire life. She also enjoyed hanging out with her “crew,” Jamison Pitzer, Laura Williams and Kimberlee Doyle-Signor.

A celebration of Kimberly’s life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 13, at Temple Free Will Baptist Church, 1208 E. Story Road, Winter Garden, Florida.
