Kimberly Jo Tom, 62, of Fort Wayne, passed on to her Heavenly Home, November 23, 2021. Born on May 3, 1959, in Fort Wayne, she was a daughter of Thomas Tom and Charlotte A Klerner, who both survive. Kimberly was a beautiful child, and in her mind she stayed a child. We remember her clapping her hands, smiling, and laughing, and we know that now, she is in the arms of Jesus. Kimberly spent her final years in a Bethesda Lutheran Group Home, where she received love, and excellent care from all of her caregivers.
She is also survived by her sister, Karma Beth (Michael) Muter, of Fort Wayne; brothers, Timothy E (Tracy) Tom, of Fort Mill, South Carolina, and Dr Michael T (Ellen) Tom, of Fort Wayne; and the Stephen Klerner family. She was preceded in death by her step-father, Stephen Klerner; grandparents, Walter and Marscell Sloffer, and Bud and Dorothy Tom.
