VISSER, Kim Mary Elizabeth -
January 15, 1961 - May 2, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Kim Mary Elizabeth Visser (nee Memery), a beloved wife, Mom, sister, daughter, cousin, friend, secretary, and defender of the underdog.
Kim died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on May 2nd, 2024, at Lakeridge Hospital in Oshawa, ON.
Many people know her as Mrs. Visser, the heart and soul of Denis O’Connor Catholic High School.
For over twenty years she helped staff and students navigate the highs and lows of high school, providing counsel, comfort, and a safe place for many.
The outpouring of support from the DO’C community has been remarkable.
As visitor after visitor poured into her hospital room to say goodbye, it became undoubtedly clear that Kim’s love, laughter, and kind soul had a profound effect on every person who walked through DO’C’s hallways.
Others will remember her as Kim Memery, or perhaps “Kimmie”: the darling of the Terrace Roller Rink in Toronto, driving around the neighbourhood in her iconic green Camaro.
Throughout her life, she lit up every room she walked into, and had a true gift for making people feel seen. Kim will be remembered as the most attentive, caring, compassionate, and selfless person we have ever had the privilege of knowing.
Kim is survived by her husband, Edward Visser, their two daughters, Carlie and Erin Visser, her mother, Doreen Memery, and her dear Auntie Eileen. She was predeceased by her brother, Don, and dad, John “Jack” Memery. We will miss her every day.
Her laugh, her hugs, and her special way of finding humour in even the most stressful of situations.
Words are not enough to express just how much Kim meant to so many people.
We love you Mrs. Visser… Kim… Kimmie… Mom…M.O.T.H…Y.O.T.H.
Visitation to take place on Friday May 10, 2024 at THORNTON FUNERAL CENTRE (1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa 905-579-6787) from 2:00pm – 6:00pm.
