Millow, Bernadette “Kim”

Bernadette “Kim” Millow (Kimit, Kolakowski)
Fairport; June 3, 2025

Predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years, Mike; parents Joe and Annette (Kolakowski) Kimit; brother Dick Kimit; sisters Pat Hewitt and Betty Walter; son-in-law Roy Warner; and several in-laws.

Survived by her children, Mare (Jeff Thomas) Millow, Mike Millow, Ann Turner, Amy (Matt) Harris; grandchildren, Brian (Tabitha) Turner, Craig (Kylee) Turner, Michael (Kayla Darby) Millow, Paul Millow, Connor Harris, and Jacob Harris; great grandsons Maverick Turner and Benjamin Turner; and many nieces and nephews.

Kim was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother; a friend to everyone she met; and an eternal optimist who lived a life of love, laughter, and gratitude. She was a lifelong gardener – something she learned at the side of her father growing up in Erie, PA – who also loved her Westies and her chickens; music; baking; painting; a good cup of coffee or nice glass of wine; binging her detective shows; and a leisurely afternoon on the porch enjoying the sounds of the birds. Over the last 10 years, Kim and her children also loved their extended family at St. John’s Greenhouse Homes (and St. John’s Home), who provided excellent care and helped her continue to enjoy the activities she loved most.
