Cambridge-Cambridge lost a treasure, Kimberly (Kimmy) Emerson-Bibee, age 52, passed away Sunday, January 16, 2022 after a short illness.

Kim was born on January 24, 1969, in Springfield, VT to Mary & Tedric (Hippy) Emerson, Sr.

She graduated from Cambridge Central School in Cambridge, NY.  Kim or Kimmy to most, loved to spend time with her family & friends.  Especially her grandchildren in most recent years.  She was a fun, loving, generous soul.  She also had a feisty, strong side that we all embraced as well.

To know Kimmy was to love her.  She could make you laugh out loud like no other.  She enjoyed the fun and laughter she created and loved to quote an old column from The Eagle Newspaper, Evelyn's Chatter: "And a good time was had by all" She was also the daughter, sister, mother & friend who you could count on to lend sympathy and a helping hand when needed.  She would go without to make sure you had what you needed.

To say Kimmy was a hard worker is an understatement.  She had a cleaning business & worked as a full time cook at The Bog in Cambridge, NY for 27 years.  She loved to cook and took pride in delivering some delicious dishes.  Kim also loved going to the beach where she shared some special vacations with her daughter.

Besides her parents, Kim is survived by her daughter (her world), Kayla Bibee, her love of 25 years, William (Bill) Jeffords, Siblings, Kate (Vince) Canini, Kerry (late Gary) Rainstrom, Tedric (Kristy) Emerson, Jr.  Grandkids, Liam, Remi, Carter J, Rylan, Morgan & Bryson.
