Kimberly Biggle Dedini was born in Monrovia, Calif. on June 10, 1980 to Diane and Gil Biggle. Kim was a boisterous, loving, smart kid from the start who could start a conversation with anyone. She was always very active and involved in her community and school including student council, softball, drama and stage crew.

Kim graduated from Monrovia High School in 1998 and left So-Cal to attend Humboldt State University, from which she graduated in 2003. While at HSU, Kim was a coxswain for both the women’s and men’s crew teams while earning her degree and living a vivacious social life. She was known for always having a smile on her face and having the ability to laugh at anything.

She went on to teach at Santa Fe Middle School in Monrovia for 7 years before landing a job at McKinleyville Middle School in Humboldt County allowing the family to move north, which was their dream all along. She taught 8th grade science at MMS for 13 years, enriching every life she touched with her nurturing and inclusive attitude.

At the age of 24, Kim married the love of her life, Erik Dedini. In 2007 they welcomed their first child, Cairo Raine and in 2009 their family was completed when they welcomed Jonah Skye.

Kim was always up for an adventure, taking trips with her friends and family to make all the memories, including summiting Mt. Whitney in So-Cal and Mt. Fuji in Japan.

Kim was not only the greatest supporter of her loved ones, but of pretty much anyone she met. She was an amazing teacher, loving mother, dedicated wife, inspiring friend, caring sister and daughter and one of the best humans ever!

Kim fought a courageous battle against brain cancer, which she was diagnosed with in October of 2023, trying every treatment possible to give her more time with her loved ones. As was Kim’s nature, she kept her positive, bubbly attitude through the entire journey doing her best to make sure there was still fun being had, even through the hard days. After a brave and valiant fight, she passed in the early morning on August 3, 2025 surrounded by love.

We will be celebrating Kim’s beautiful life on Sunday, August 31 at the Loomis home in Fieldbrook from 2 to 6 p.m. Please come by to help us celebrate this amazing human, share a story and a hug. Feel free to email oceanlover20@yahoo.com if you need the address.
