Kimberly Rose "Kimmie" Stronach

POYNETTE – Kimberly Rose “Kimmie” Stronach, age 32, passed away on Monday, November 14, 2016.

Kimberly was born on February 25, 1984, in Madison, the daughter of Dale and Mary Lou (Doleshaw) Stronach. Most of her time was spent with her beloved boyfriend, Aaron, her family and especially her niece and nephew whom she adored.  Kimmie was extremely compassionate, sympathetic and a very loving person.  If you needed her, she was there for you no matter what the reason or the time of day.  She rarely said no.  Kimmie was passionate, spirited and full of life.  She was vibrant and oh so beautiful inside and out.  Her gorgeous smile and that twinkle in those stunning eyes would light up a room.  Her mischievous spirit would make you nervous if aimed at you.  Her sassiness would set you straight or send you into fits of laughter.  An infectious laugh that would stop nearby conversations and would have people wondering what they just missed out on.  An amazing gifted voice that would lift your spirits to the very highest and give you goose bumps.  That was our Kimmie.  She competed in numerous karaoke contests, auditioned for American Idol, and competed in the Dane County Fair taking third place.  Her dad was her biggest fan requesting her to sing whenever the opportunity presented itself.  She had an amazing connection with family pets.  Oh how they had to be on her lap or cuddling with her.  She had such a kind way and so many special gifts. 

She is survived by her parents, Dale and Mary Lou Stronach; her brother, Kurtis (Judainne “JJ”) Stronach; her sister, Kelly (Corey) Neuhauser; a very special niece and nephew, Tenley Margaret and Teagan Lawrence Neuhauser; the love of her life, her boyfriend, Aaron Thurber; her favorite grandma, Bernie Stronach, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends.  She was preceded in death by her grandfather Jim Stronach, her grandfather and grandmother, Bud and Margaret Doleshaw, her uncles, Larry Stronach, Steve Doleshaw, and her favorite uncle, Ronnie Ripp.
