KIMBERLY M. BURTNEY

October 1, 1960 – October 24, 2025

In the early morning hours of Friday, October 24, 2025, Kim passed away peacefully at home, with family by her side.

Kim leaves to cherish her memory, her husband; Wayne Hall, brothers; Arnold (Pat), Randy, her beloved ‘fur babies’; Leonard and Cam, extended family members, and long-time friends; Sharron, Sandy, and Len.

Kim was predeceased by her father; Frank (2008), and mother; Anne (2010).

Kim was especially proud of continuing her mother’s legacy of preparing Ukrainian Borscht, handmade Paska, Pyrizhky, and so many other delicious treats she generously shared with family and friends. Kim was always grateful she had learned these ‘Family Favourites’ from her ‘Beloved Teacher’. Kim’s love for family and friends did not end there. She extended her heart unconditionally to welcome a stray cat or kitten by providing them with shelter, food, water, and the reassurance ‘they would be okay’.

Kim will be forever remembered by family and friends for her kind and gentle manner, generous heart, and always going above and beyond to help others.

Kim’s battle with ‘CJD’ was brief and untimely.

We would like to extend our heartfelt ‘Thanks’ to Dr. R.A. Basharat at St. Boniface Hospital, 6E Medicine Staff, and the Research Team involved with the complex and rare ‘CJD’ diagnosis. Your care for Kim and gentle guidance to us, will always be remembered with gratitude.

A Celebration of Kim’s Life will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day Street with a reception following the service.

Cremation has taken place. The family will hold a private interment at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter, 2727 Portage Avenue, or Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, in Kim’s memory.

Rest in Peace, Kim. Until we meet again.
