Kimberly Arlynn (Mueller) Coffee

• 

Coffee, Kimberly Arlynn (Mueller), 32, of Minneapolis, loving wife of Matthew Justin Coffee, passed away in her home the morning of Saturday, Feb. 11, far too soon. Her absence will be felt, and her memory cherished, every day by those lucky enough to have known her. Kim was born November 2, 1979, in Fargo, ND. She was preceded in death by her mother, Elaine Mueller; brother, Jeffrey Mueller; and grandparents, Edwin Mundal, Erma (Mundal) Roberts, and Henry Mueller. She is survived by her husband, Matt Coffee; father, Arlan Mueller; her grandmother, Eveline Mueller; her siblings, Teresa Mueller (Jeffrey), Greg Mueller (Diane), David Mueller (Lana), Kristi Auxier (James), Steve Mueller (Trica), Michelle DeRemer (Brian), and Lisa Hinsz (Mark); 15 nieces and nephews, and 2 grand-nephews. Kim was adored by her family, as well as the Coffees, her University of Minnesota co-workers, and her many friends, too numerous to mention. She was beautiful, funny, smart, sarcastic and, above all, caring. Her laugh was the loudest in the room, her smile was three sizes too big for her face, and she was generous with both. Kim rocked. She liked loud guitars and married a loud guitarist, who was also her high school sweetheart. Together they kept a beautiful home and loved two wonderful terriers, Allison and Spencer B. Dog, whom she taught to say, "I love you." The rest of us didn't need teaching; we just did, and do. In memory of Kim, donations may be made to the Animal Humane Society. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday (TODAY) at Cremation Society of Minnesota, Minneapolis Chapter, 4343 Nicollet Ave. S. (612) 825-2435.
