The Attalla, Alabama community is mourning the loss of Kim Simmons, 31, who passed away on February 13 after a courageous battle with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), a rare autoimmune nerve disorder. Kim’s passing has left her family, friends, and neighbors heartbroken as they reflect on a life marked by love, resilience, and devotion to her family.
Kim had been bedridden for nearly 18 months due to complications from CIDP. In December, her condition worsened after a severe infection, prompting her transfer to UAB Hospital, where she was placed on a ventilator. Despite the dedicated care she received, Kim never regained consciousness, leaving her loved ones to grapple with the sudden and profound loss of a cherished daughter, wife, and mother.
She is survived by her husband, Justin Simmons, and their 6-year-old daughter, Addison Simmons, who now face the immense challenge of navigating life without Kim’s presence. Her father, David Simmons, shared that she was “the best mother,” reflecting the deep admiration and love her family held for her. Friends and relatives describe Kim as kind-hearted, strong, and selfless, someone whose life was centered on the well-being of those around her.
The community has expressed an outpouring of support for the Simmons family, offering prayers, messages of comfort, and assistance during this difficult time. Kim’s story has resonated with many, highlighting the struggles faced by families dealing with chronic illnesses and the importance of compassion, care, and solidarity.
A memorial service will be planned once Kim’s ashes are returned home, allowing family, friends, and the community to honor her life and legacy. The service will provide an opportunity to celebrate her love, courage, and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her.
Though her life was tragically cut short, Kim Simmons’ memory will live on through the love she shared with her family, the strength she displayed in her fight against CIDP, and the enduring impact she made on those who were fortunate to know her. Her loss is deeply felt, but her spirit and devotion will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
