Kim (nee Moffatt), was born in Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia on October 28, 1960.
Kim's passion for helping people in need led to an education in nursing which she completed at Algonquin College in Pembroke, ON. Following her graduation, she accepted a position at St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital (now Providence Care Hospital), in Kingston, where she remained a loyal and dedicated member of the nursing staff until her passing.
Left to mourn are her husband and best friend of 30 years, Mike Fortune, and her cherished son, James Fortune, both of Kingston. Dear daughter of Mollie (nee Barron) Moffatt of Dominion, NS and the late Rolfe Moffatt Sr. Lovingly remembered by her brother, Rolfe Moffatt; sisters, Katherine Moffatt (Ian), Lydia Moffatt, Bernadette Vaters (Basil), Alice Gouthro, Rose Cameron (Gary Pope), Rita Thompson (Robert), Ralphina Boutilier (Arthur), Molly Boutilier and Jane Rizzo, all of Dominion, NS.

Predeceased by brothers-in-law, George and James (late Shirley) Fortune, all of Cape Breton. Also remembered by numerous nieces and nephews.
