Obituary for Kimberly Gene Myers
Kimberly Gene (Jameson) Myers, a cherished mother, sister, aunt, friend, and dedicated nurse, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at the age of sixty-five. Born on August 6, 1960, in Altus, Oklahoma, to Bobby Dale and Clara Gene (Southward) Jameson, Kim grew up in Headrick, where she was baptized at Headrick Baptist Church and raised with deep family values and a caring heart. She attended Altus Public Schools and proudly graduated with the Class of 1979.
Kim's calling in life was to care for others. Shortly after high school, she began working in the healthcare field as a nurse's aide in local nursing homes before joining the staff at Jackson County Memorial Hospital. In 1982, the birth of her beloved son, John, inspired her to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. While working at Comanche County Hospital, she enrolled in LPN classes at Great Plains Vo-Tech, beginning what would become an extraordinary thirty-seven-year nursing career.
Compassionate, dependable, and always willing to go where she was needed, Kim served as a traveling nurse across the country from Massachusetts to North Dakota and many places in between. Her patients and coworkers knew her as a true caregiver at heart. She was, as many said, a "caretaker's caretaker," always offering kindness, comfort, and unwavering support to those around her.
Above all, Kim was a devoted mother. Her love for John was the anchor of her life she often joked that she loved him "more than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich," a phrase that perfectly captured her warmth and humor. She adored her friends and animals and believed deeply in caring for people, no matter who they were or where they came from.
Kim retired on June 17, 2017, and later made her home in Marietta, Oklahoma, where she enjoyed a quieter life while staying closely connected to her family and loved ones.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Bobby Dale and Clara Gene Jameson; her sister, Debbie Jameson; and her grandparents, J.O. and Iula Southward, and Sam and Ider Lee Jameson.
Left to carry on her legacy of love and compassion are her son, John Myers; her brothers, Robert Jameson and wife Cheryl of Altus, and Steve Jameson and wife Theresa of Headrick; her nephew, Kyle Jameson and wife Leslie of Altus; her great-nieces, Destiny and Journey of Altus; her aunts, Patsy Bynum of Rogers, Arkansas, and Gaye Harvey and husband Alton of Altus; her special cousins, Stewart Messner of Hedley, Texas, and Angela Haines of Round Rock, Texas; as well as a large circle of cousins, extended family, coworkers, and countless friends who were touched by her life.
Kim's family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at Lowell-Tims Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, November 24, 2025, at the Lowell-Tims Funeral Home Chapel in Altus, Oklahoma with interment to follow at Headerick Cemetery, Headerick, Oklahoma.
Her kindness, dedication, and gentle spirit will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
