Kim Miera, 58, was born November 3, 1959 in Garland, Dallas, Texas to Jack Wilson and Marian Claudine “Deenie” Yoder Wilson.
She was the 5th child and seeing as the first four were boys, that’s what the Wilson’s expected. Well, that’s not what they got. In her traditional form of doing things her way, she was born, much to the shock of the family.
In a rush to name her, the parents called home and asked her brothers what should they name this surprise baby girl. One of them happened to pick up a box of tissue and saw the name Kimberly- yes like Kimberly Clark under the tissue box. Kimberly Joan Wilson.
Since she was the only girl, of course, she was very spoiled, much too the aghast of her older brothers.
She grew up in Garland and Glen Rose, Texas where she enjoyed her own personal club house in her deployed brothers brand new 1965 Mustang. Soon enough the club house was relocated and of course made larger in size. Emphasis on the word “house” and for good measure they added a store called Kimi’s Korner.
She enjoyed being a television star for her 5th birthday when she appeared on the Mr. Peppermint show.
She was a ballerina for all the years they lived in Texas, and for which her mother hand sewed all her costumes.
In 1969 Jack and Deenie moved with Kim to Taos.
In subsequent years she had daughter Anita, son John and in 1983 she married Eddy Romero and had daughters Stephanie and Jacklyn.
Kim and Eddy would take over her father’s business after his passing. They ran Wilson Refrigeration for several years before opening Taos Mountain Appliance.
Kim worked as a nurse and paramedic.
She married Nestor Miera in 2005 and spent the rest of the years of her life by his side.
Kim was a born again Christian and she was beloved by the people she touched through her faith. She made friends who were more like family to her. She was always loyally sitting on the pew in the Potters House church every Sunday.
She was just about to embark on a new journey of opening a Christian book and coffee shop when the Lord called her home on 5th March 2018 at her home in Ranchos de Taos. She was 58.
