Kimberly Kay Soma, the daughter of Robert and Carolyn (McCaffrey) Smith, was
born August 29, 1966 in Belmond, Iowa. Kim grew up in Belmond and graduated
from Belmond High School with the class of 1984. After high school, Kim
continued her education at Des Moines Area Community College getting her dental
assistant degree.

Trinity Lutheran Church in Belmond. To this union, three children were born
Makayla, Rebecca and Andrew. The family made their home in Belmond where Kim
worked for the Dental Center of North Iowa for over 20 years.
When Kim wasn't at work she enjoyed being outdoors working on her flowers and
vegetable garden. Being with family was the most important thing to Kim. She
took over organizing family events and always made it look nice with her
decorative talents. She was very involved with her children and always loved
having her granddaughters at Papa's and Gigi's.
Kim will be remembered for being a very genuine and approachable person who
would do anything for anyone.
