May 16, 1956 - Apr. 30, 2023
On April 30, 2023, Kim S. Wolverton of Burley, Idaho, left our world to be at peace with our Heavenly Father. She was an amazingly strong woman who was loved by her two children, Jade Robert Spann and Jasmine Lynn Devalera, and her four grandchildren, Dylan Jade Spann Lough, Alexis Jaden Devalera, Koen River Spann, and Ethan Ryan Pearson.
Some parts of her life were even a surprise to me. She was born and raised in Burley, Idaho, by her mom, Barbara Blair, and her father, Gordon Blair. I found this in a scrapbook she owned and thought it would be a perfect dedication to our community.
In life's busy thoroughfares
We with Angels unaware
But we are too busy to listen or hear
Too busy to sense that God is near
Too busy to stop and recognize
The grief that lies in each others eyes
Too busy to offer to help or share
Too busy to empathize or care
Too busy to do the good things we should
Telling ourselves we would if we could
But life is too swift and the pace too great
And we dare not pause for we might be late
For our next appointment which means so much
We were to brush off our Savior’s touch
And we tell ourselves there comes a day
We will have more time to pause on our way
But before you know it "life’s sun has passed"
And we've passed the Savior and never met
For hurrying along life's thoroughfares
We passed by remained unaware
That within the very sight of our eye
Unnoticed the Son of God passed by
