Kimlyn Polk Obituary
God Knows Best
by Helen Steiner Rice
Our Father knows what's best for us,
So why should we complain--
We always want the sunshine,
But He knows there must be rain--
We love the sound of laughter
And the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear...
Our Father tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow,
He tests us, not to punish us,
But to help us meet tomorrow...
For growing trees are strengthened
When they withstand the storm,
And the sharp cut of a chisel
Gives the marble grace and form...
Kimlyn Latoya Polk, age 43, completed her life’s journey Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at her residence in Albemarle, North Carolina. Born November 19, 1975 in Anson County, North Carolina, Kimlyn was the daughter of Willie B. Polk, Sr. and the late Odessa Clark Polk. Kimlyn’s kind and gentle demeanor will be remembered by all who knew her.
She attended the public schools of Stanly County, North Carolina and graduated from Albemarle Senior High School-Class of 1994. Kimlyn was last employed with Best Western Hotel, Albemarle, North Carolina. She enjoyed cooking, and in her leisure, she tried new recipes and surprised her family with treats. She instilled in her children the value of good housekeeping skills. Her greatest pleasure was spoiling her grandchildren.
