Kim A. Landis, 64, of Sweet Home passed away Tuesday. She was born in Long Beach, California. Her parents were James Bard and Helen Louise Landis.

She lived in Brownsville and the Sweet Home area for most of her life.

After receiving her Associates Degree at Linn Benton Community College she worked as a bookkeeper at seed research.

When she was younger, Kim won several awards for ice skating and followed international skating as an adult.

She has always loved animals and half of her TV viewing recently has been veterinarian shows. The other half has been shows about living in the Alaska Wilderness. She even had the opportunity to visit there. She appreciated our National Parks and has traveled to many. The Oregon Coast was a favorite place to visit. Her love of nature inspired her to become involved with recycling to help protect our environment.

Kim is survived by her brother David Jonathan Landis of Sweet Home; and sister Lura Lee Landis Rule of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to your favorite charity or SafeHaven Humane Society.
