The life of Kimberly Romaine Morrell began on August 15, 1966 in Lansing, Michigan to her parents, the late Reverend David Morrell and Ruth E. Williams-Morrell. She was the youngest of seven children and the only one with a middle name, Romaine, was given to her by a good friend and neighbor of the family, Mrs. Cross. She had a very close relationship with her sisters, Bea, Max, and Teresa. However, her family and friends lovingly called her Kim. “My most memorable moment of Kim is of us growing up, she was about 7 or 8 at the time. One Sunday we were all sitting at the table after dinner, just talking and eating desert. I wanted some of Kim’s pie, but she told me “No!” Well, I reached across the table and took a spoonful out of her dish anyway. She looked in her dish, frowned and threw her spoon at me. It hit me right in the forehead. All of us paused for a second in disbelief, then we all just busted out laughing. Kim had really good aim.” ~Teresa Kimberly was quiet yet very friendly as a young girl. She was also very intelligent. She attended and graduated from Lansing Eastern High School in Lansing, MI in 1984. Kim felt that computers were the way of the future and subsequently studied computer science at Lansing Community College. After a very brief stay in Orlando, FL, she returned to Lansing and began working for Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 1987. After hearing about the opportunities, that Denver had to offer, from her sister, Teresa, whom had recently moved there, Kim decided that she too would see what the Mile High City had to offer. She left Cooley Law and with help from her family, drove cross-country to Denver in 1990. Not long after the move to Colorado, Kim was introduced to Billy Davis of Boulder, Colorado by Teresa Morrell Scruggs and her husband. They have been in love ever since. Billy and Kim married on July 8, 1996, in Aurora, Colorado. Kimberly was the epitome of an exceptional mother and wife. She always made sure that her home was in order and her “boys” were taken care of, no matter what. Kim landed her final job at University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) around the turn of the new millennium.
