Looking back on the legacy she has left behind, the obituary shared that Kymberly, who has born in Lompoc, Calif., led a life full of traveling, sailing and accomplishments. Kymberly's career not only included films, but also posing as a model who "graced the cover of over a dozen magazines, both local and international."
