Obituary

Kimberly Ann Wingard passed away on February 2, 2019 in Dallas, Texas at the age of 54. She is survived by her two beloved children, Isaac Wingard and Daniel Wingard. She also leaves behind her two sisters, Kathleen Nussbaum-Lingle and Kelly Woollett. Other survivors include her niece Kelsey Nussbaum, nephew Parker Nussbaum and brother-in-law Matthew Lingle. Kimberly was born in Sacramento, California on August 8, 1964 to Bruce Woollett and Margaret Woollett (née Olson) who both preceded her in death. She also was preceded in death by her brother Rob Woollett, to whom she was only 18 months his junior. After spending her early youth in California, Kimberly moved to Plano, Texas in 1974 where she graduated from Plano Senior High School in 1982. She went on to attend college at SMU before getting her undergraduate degree at UNT in Business Administration. She later obtained her master’s degree in Business at UTD. After graduation, Kimberly entered the business world, most notably working in the HR Department at ARCO Oil where she helped relocate employees to Texas. There she was so well-liked that many of the employees she assisted became close friends. After the birth of her 2nd child, Kimberly decided to leave her career behind and become a stay-at-home Mom. Kimberly had a generous spirit and possessed a loving heart. She had a life-long love for animals. At the time of her passing, she had five furry family members who were spoiled rotten. However, what Kim loved the most was her family, especially her two children Isaac and Daniel. She loved and protected them fiercely. They were the driving force behind everything she did. With a joy for life and a desire to have fun in any situation, Kimberly charmed all those around her. Known for her beautiful green eyes, her sharp mind and her deep laugh, she will be remembered and missed immensely by her loved ones. Services for Kimberly Wingard will take place at St. Marks Catholic Church in Plano on February 22nd at 11:00 a.m. There will be a reception following the funeral. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Kimberly’s name to the St. Marks Rosary Makers, Operation Kindness or the World Wildlife Fund.

    She was the best mom I could have asked for, and truly did everything for us. You deserve everything and more mom, I hope you are at peace.

    Few people have ever got me into so much trouble or allowed me to have so much fun in my life. It’s so sad that your earthly life is over. I won’t see you again. That blows my mind. You loved to joke with me. It gave you delight that I was dating but you cautioned me to find someone very patient. I did and he is my lifelong love. I hope you will continue to be a force for good in your new life with Jesus for those you have left behind. I wish I had known you decided to become Catholic. I am glad you are HOme with Rob and your Mom. I am glad Kelly was there with Our Lady to give you a wonderful send off. I miss you Kymberly. Thank you for your wit and encouragement. So much more to say . . . Love Eileen

    My heart goes out to Kim’s family. She was a dear friend to me in high school and I regret we lost contact after college. She was such a sweet and caring soul.

I remember so many parties at your parents house with you,Rob,Kelly & Kathy…so much laughter,food & games played! If you didn’t like sharades, to bad, you were going to play. You mirrored your mom in such positive ways including your career path, I admired that about you! You were a delight to be around and to talk with when you weren’t giving reasons for laughter. You will truely be missed but I know your at peace with your brother Rob & your parents now.

    I’m so heartbroken that you have left us here on earth so soon. I will always cherish the times we had together. Oh my goodness, the fun we had! Kim m’ Kim, Kim squared, The Kimsters, Kim 1 and Kim 2…I think your favorite was “Beach Girl”. I will never forget the trips we took together by car or plane! Thanksgivings and Christmas’s over the years. Thank you for being such a big part of my life. We held to the promise that we’d do anything for each other. I still would. I have zero doubt that you are now in the arms of a really loving God, surrounded by other Angels. Kelly and Kathy plus all children, I am holding you all close in prayer for light and healing. All my love, Kim Mammel

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
