Kim Annette (Ives) (Peters) Cline of Eau Claire passed away at her daughter’s home while on hospice
with her family by her side on July 11, 2024 at the age of 61.
She was born on April 25, 1963 to Gary and Jeanette Ives of Eau Claire, Wisconsin and was the oldest
daughter of four children. She graduated from Memorial High School in 1981 and then went on to
complete her Bachelor’s Degree at UW-Stout. In 2001, she started working at Harmon Solutions Group
as a Customer Service Representative for fourteen years retiring in January 2015. She was an active
church member at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Altoona.
She is survived by her husband Donald Cline of Eau Claire; daughter Ashlie (Trevor) Litke.
Kim loved spending time with her family, friends, and especially her grandchildren. Her second loves
were Nickelback and Brantley Gilbert. She enjoyed the outdoors especially country musical festivals
where she attended almost every year no matter what obstacles got in her way. Later in her life, she
got into watching Nascar, especially Ryan Blaney, if you were at her house and she was watching the race
she would tell you to be quiet until it was over. When you met Kim, you had a friend with her
contagious smile and kind heart. She was able to accomplish many things on her bucket list prior to her
passing like traveling to New Mexico, Vegas, and attending many concerts of her favorite artists. She
will be missed by many and one of her last thoughts she had for everyone to know is that she loves
them all and will be watching over them. “Please try to have happy memories and when tears come, I’m
hugging you from heaven I am so blessed to have you all loving me”
She is proceeded in death by her parents, ex-husband George Peters, ex-mother-in- law Ernestine
Roach, niece Gabryelle Eliason, father-in-law Earl Cline, and sister-in-law Laura Indriso, and many aunts and uncles.
