Kimberly “Kim” Ann Dillow, 58, of Inwood, went to be with her Lord on February 28, 2020. She passed away peacefully in her home with her loving husband of 39 years and her two daughters.

Born on August 7, 1961, in Salinas, CA, she was the daughter of Reba Sue Wilkins-Butts and the late Elmer Lewis Butts. Kim was raised in Berkeley County, WV, where she met the love of her life, Richard “Rick” S. Dillow Jr. She is survived by her husband “Ricky”, two daughters, Jennifer Abshire and significant other, Keith, of Spring Mills, WV; and Stephanie Winslow and husband, Chris, of Buckhannon, WV; three granddaughters, whom she adored, Bella, Miranda and Sadey; two sisters, Linda D. Russell and husband Craig, of Martinsburg, WV; and Tressy K. Butts of Inwood, WV. In addition to her father, Kim was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Virgil S. Butts Sr. and Ethel L. Butts, maternal grandparents, Loyd T. Wilkins and Macy M. Roberts and father and mother in-law, Richard and Pat Dillow.

Kim was a member of Cedar Grove Christian Church and worked as an aide in both the classroom and on the special needs bus with Berkeley County Schools for 33 years. In addition, she waitressed for King’s Pizza in Inwood for 12 years.

Kim was beautiful inside and out and was loved by everyone she encountered. Kim was full of life and never met a stranger. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, dining out, vacationing to different places, especially the beach, but her greatest love was spending time with her precious granddaughters.

On July 13th of 2019, Kim was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a rare and cancerous tumor of the brain. Due to the severity and little known cause of this cancer, her body was sent to the University of Virginia for further research and education of this cancer to help others like herself. Kim spent her life trying to help others and by doing this, she will continue her love of assisting others by helping to find a cure.

Family will receive friends from 6:00 to 9:00 pm on Friday, March 6, 2020 at Cedar Grove Christian Church in Inwood. A Celebration of Kim’s Life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Cedar Grove Christian Church with Pastor J.R. Barnes officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, P.O. Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38148 – 1-800-805-5856 stjude.org/donatetoday.

My condolences to Ricky, Sue and their family. A lot of childhood memories playing Kick-the-Can, Kerplunk, Don't Break the Ice, and listening to lots of 45 records. So many funny memories and talks on long walks. I have no doubt Kim will be painfully missed by those who knew and loved her.

My condolences to the Family she truly touched my Family with her Heart full of Love. It was a delight to see her everyday when my Boys rode the Bus. Mike and Kim were Fantastic. My Boys loved to give and get hugs and she always took the time out to care for them and keep them safe while not in my care. May she rest in Peace now and to know she has a new healthy body with our Lord. Truly will be missed here on Earth.

I am so sorry for this tragic loss... Kim was one I knew from JSB and every time I would see her light radiated out from within her.... my prayers and condolences to her husband and daughters and rest of the family...

I will always remember Kim's smiling face. Her love of her family and the love of her Savior. She is in his loving arms now. Imagine the beauty that is surrounding her as well as the peace and love. One of my fondest memories is of Kim coming with Mary Effland to spend a weekend a my house and going to the beach. I am sorry for your loss. Love, Cindy Nicklin

Dear Rick and family, I was a member of the class of 79 with Kim. We were in band together and I hadn't seen Kim since high school that I can remember. I was able to see her and laugh with her just like high school again at our 4th reunion this past year. I really am sad to see such a personality and light be taken away. They say God always takes the good ones early and for a reason. My deepest condolences to all of you. God got a good one this time.

Such a sweet lady! Prayers to her husband and family!

Several memories of Kim in high school. Always looked up to her as a cheerleader for Musselman. Then seeing her at Kings having several conversations about kids and education. She was very passionate about. Fly high my friend. Keep shining your light.
