Kimberly A. Estock, 64, of Lititz, PA, passed away Saturday, October 5, 2019 after a short illness. Born in Lancaster, PA, she was the daughter of the late Galen and Joyce Winters of Willow Valley, and sister to the late Kristen Julian.

Kimberly graduated from Hershey High and went on to earn her Bachelors‘ degree from Elizabethtown College. She also earned a Masters‘ degree from York College of Pennsylvania. Kimberly started her career working for St. Joseph’s Hospital before becoming an employee of the Hershey Company. She retired in 2015 after 30 years of dedicated service.
In her 4 years of retirement she filled her time doing all the things she loved. An avid quilter, she made many beautiful pieces for family and friends. She also donated her time and effort to making blankets for the charity, Quilts for Kids.
Her love of gardening was obvious to anyone who met her. With an eye for landscape design and advocating for the use of native plants, she leaves her mark on gardens across Lancaster County and even a few in North East, MD and Raleigh, NC.
She was a member of LCBC.
A private celebration of her life will be held in November for friends and family. To honor her love of nature, donations can be made to the Lancaster Conservancy, www.lancasterconservancy.org.

To Kim’s family,
I am so sorry to hear about Kim’s passing. Her and I graduated the same year from Elizabethtown College, and worked together many times at The Hershey Company, and retired at the same time. She was a good person who was fun to work with, and she will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
