| Published by Mohave Daily News Online on May 28 - Bullhead City, Arizona - KIMBERLEE ANN NELSON-HASSEY Kim Hassey, age 68, a resident of Bullhead City, Arizona, passed away on Sunday, April 25, 2025 after a courageous fight against Progressive Supranuclear Palsy - never losing her sense of humor. Kim was born October 27, 1956 in Anchorage, Alaska, the eldest of four sisters. Kim loved animals her entire life and had quite a menagerie as a teenager. Over the years, she always had at least two dogs - a few cats and birds - and a period with a small goat farm and milk cow. Her initial job and career followed this love - starting out as a dog groomer and then going to school in Wyoming to become a Veterinary Technician - a position she enjoyed for 12 years in New Mexico. She also volunteered as a 4H leader in Veterinary Science at one point. Upon moving to Bullhead City in 1989, her career trajectory changed. She initially worked with Animal Control as a License Canvasser, which led to her final career as a 911 Dispatcher for 17 years, which she found very fulfilling. During this time she also volunteered at Keepers of the Wild Animal Sanctuary for several years. Kim was an avid reader with an intense curiosity. She was part of the Dungeons and Dragons gaming groups when they began and was also a (Star) "Trekkie". She enjoyed walking her dogs, spending time on the lake with her husband, visiting family, collecting Breyer horses, gardening, drawing, beading, music, traveling and hiking. She was preceded in death by her parents. Kim is survived by her loving husband of 42 years, Darryl; three sisters, Robin (Jim), Karla (Jim) and Terri; sisters-in-law, Penny and Susan; brothers-in-law, David and Frank; two stepsons, Kenny and Dale; several step-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews; and her last fur baby, Maya. Rest in Peace Kim, you lived an amazing life and will be greatly missed! A special thank you to Canyon Hospice for their compassionate care over the last two years. |
