Kimberly I. Meyer-Pelletier, 68 of Fairhaven, MA died peacefully on Friday, June 2, 2023 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was the loving wife of Richard C. Pelletier for 39 years.
Born in Hinesville, GA daughter of the late Arthur H. and Dorothy G. (Lavallee) Meyer, she grew up in a close-knit family in Wrentham, MA and spent her summer months in Mattapoisett enjoying all the beauty that Buzzards Bay had to offer. Once married she moved to Coventry, CT where she started a family and grew her own private practice as a Physical Therapist. Eventually she planted roots in Fairhaven, MA where she continued her life's work as a PT, healing those who were burdened with grief, trauma, and physical and emotional pain through mind, body, and soul connection.
Kim, had a zest for life and a taste for adventure. She spent many winters skiing in snowy Vermont. She traveled the world whenever the opportunity beckoned. More recently, she took up pickleball which complimented her competitive and fun-loving nature. She was a warm, caring, and compassionate person who was always eager to help others in their time of need.
