Kimberly (Kim) Suzanne Kuzior, 46, of Burgettstown, passed away peacefully in her home during the morning of Friday, December 31, 2021.

Kim fought a lengthy and courageous battle against leukemia for over five years. Through many difficult struggles during her battle against leukemia, her constant strength and her positive attitude were so impressive.

Born on July 22, 1975, Kim was the daughter of Bob and Judy Kuzior of Bulger.

Kim graduated from Burgettstown High School in 1993. She continued her education at the University of Pittsburgh, where she earned her undergraduate degree in social work in 1997, and her master’s degree in social work in 1999. Kim worked as a social worker at Washington Hospital after her graduation until her battle began in 2016.

Kim is survived by her long-time companion, Stuart Bombiani of Burgettstown; her parents, Bob and Judy; brother, Kip Kuzior; and her sister-in-law, Melissa Kuzior of Bulger.

Kim is also survived by her three nephews, A.J., Brodie, and Grady Kuzior of Bulger. Kim adored her nephews very much, and they were the sons that she never had. Kim was a wonderful aunt who loved to spend time with them, and was always in the crowd cheering for them at their sporting events.

Kim’s personality was warm, welcome, kindhearted, playful, and joyful. If you spent time with her, no matter where that was, she made sure that you were laughing and having a great time. Kim was always ready to help somebody when in need, whether that was a stranger while working at Washington Hospital or a friend or family member. She never hesitated to lend a helping hand or an attentive ear.

Because of her infectious personality and her kindness, Kim leaves behind many, many friends who dearly loved her. Kim was friends with possibly everyone in Burgettstown, and she cherished those great times that she had with her friends. The support that she received from her friends during her battle was immeasurable.

Kim’s family graciously thanks the fantastic doctors, nurses, and medical staff at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh. Their compassion was unbelievable and allowed Kim to be very comfortable while in their care.

To honor Kim’s wishes, there will be no public visitation. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 8, in the Burgettstown Presbyterian Church, 1325 Main Street, Burgettstown, PA 15021 with the Rev. Cinda Isler officiating. Private Interment will be held in the Grandview Cemetery in Florence at a later date.
