Kim M. Nimke

Kim M. Nimke, age 55, passed away on Saturday, May 7, 2022. She was born on January 11, 1967 to Bob and Pam (Gregor) Kohnke. She married Kevin Nimke on May 6, 2005. Together they had an amazing son named Kyle. Kevin was the love of Kim’s life and without him she could not have gotten thru cancer without him.
Kim worked for the Oshkosh Area School District and absolutely loved her job. She cared deeply about her students and never stopped thinking about them whether it was school hours or not! Her heart was very full watching her students grow and move on to higher grades. The staff at Washington Elementary became family to Kim and she cherished every single one!
Kim is survived by the love of her life, Kevin; their son, Kyle; mother, Pam; her brother, Kelly (Otto) Kohnke; niece, Kayla (Josh) Weimer; and her great nieces, Savannah, and Stella; as well as her mother and father-in-law, Dave, and Nancy Nimke; siblings-in-law, David “Stubby” Nimke, Debbie Eberhart, Brian (Shelia) Nimke, Chris Nimke. She really enjoyed spending time with her great nieces, they were like grandchildren to her.
Kim wishes to say a special thank you to someone who has become a very close friend throughout the years. Lori Abel was always there for Kim and her family. She was a shoulder to cry on and an ear to bend in good conversation. Lori kept Kim stocked on homemade soup and Kim always loved that. If we ever needed anything, Lori was there, and we are very thankful to you Lori Abel. We love you!
Kim was preceded in death by her father, Bob Kohnke.
A celebration of life will be held at Konrad-Behlman Westside Funeral Home (100 Lake Pointe Dr) on Friday, May 13, 2022, from 3PM-5PM. Kim and her family request that guests come dressed casually or in your favorite sports team attire.
Kim was very passionate for all children and felt no child should ever have to live with cancer. Kim’s last request is that NO FLOWERS be sent and that you make donations to St Jude for childhood cancer. PLEASE DONATE!
