Kimberly Sue Cromwell went home to be with the Lord on April 12, 2021. Kimberly was born to Barbara Gail Taylor and Harry Cromwell on November 14, 1971 in Akron, Ohio.

Kimberly attended Akron Public Schools where she was very popular for her beauty. She worked as a security  officer with Willows Security and cleaned offices for   Pioneer Cleaning. Due to a tragic illness she had limb amputations in 2007 that caused work to come to an end. Kim hated depending on others. She was always a very independent woman until she became disabled.

Kimberly was a very popular lady that was loved by many. She was a fire cracker ready to explode. She was no joke to be played with. Kim made sure her vanilla and chocolate (her kids) never went without growing up and up until the day she took her last breath.

Kimberly is preceded in death by the love of her life   Patrick Merritt; grandmother, Elma Lavern; mother, Gail Taylor; father, Harry Cromwell; uncle, Dale; aunts, Trishy, Hellen, and Jinny. She also had two brothers and two sisters, whom she never met, that also preceded her in death.

Kimberly is survived by her children, also her best friends, LaKeya Walker (Todd) and Lenora Merritt; grandchildren, Le'Aaron Austin, Leah Austin, Todd Austin, Jr., Dominique Williams and one unborn   grandchild, Pr'Ynce McCray; sisters, Alise Hardison and Lenore Merritt; long time friend/sister, Candi Gadd, and one other sister whom she has never met; and a host of other relatives and friends.
