Kimberly Ann Roberts Short was born at Wetzel Hospital in Clinton, June 16, 1957, which happened to be Father's Day that year. She ws the second daughter of Carl and Lorene Roberts. Kim had been in ill health for several years but lost her life in a house fire on May 25, 2006. Her beloved cocker spaniel Miss Belle was at her side when she died. We rejoice that she is now at peace in her new home in heaven. Kim was saved and baptized during a revival in Roscoe in May 1968.
She attended elementary school at Roscoe and graduated from Osceola High school in 1975.
Kim married Archie Short and they had two daughters, Mende and Melissa. She was so very proud of her two girls. She spent three years in Germany with Archie when he was stationed there. They lived in Clinton the last few years. She worked at several area businesses while her health permitted.
