Kim Paramore-Dace was called home on April 13, 2023.
She was born November 14, 1962 in Philadelphia, PA to
the late Freddie Paramore and Marion Grier. She
leaves behind her loving husband Adrian Dace of 35
years, her only child and beloved son Maurice
Paramore, her sisters Meshelle and Fannie, her
brothers Freddie, Gus, James, and Emanuel, and many
aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear
friends.
Kim grew up in Philadelphia, PA and moved to
Willingboro, NJ during her senior year of high school
where she made many lifelong friendships. After
graduating high school she went on to obtain an
education in data processing at PTC Career Institute
and devoted over 10 years as a data entry operator
before embarking on a new career as a
paraprofessional. Her career in education spanned
over a decade up until her untimely passing. She
worked across different school districts, dedicating
herself to her teachers and students whom she deeply
loved.
Of all her titles and jobs in life, it always remained
certain that her greatest role was that of a mother. She
spoke frequently and with such pride of her son,
Maurice- whom she affectionately called, “Mar,”- and
all of his accomplishments to any and everyone she
met. A woman who found great joy in the simple
pleasures of life- Kim loved quality time spent with her
family and friends, a cozy day at home with her
husband watching a good crime show, murder-mystery,
or HGTV marathon, and of course her music. From
New Edition to The O’Jays, or Bruno Mars’ “What I
Like”, Kim loved it all, but her all-time favorite artist
was none other than Babyface.
Kim was loved beyond words and will be missed dearly.
While her physical presence is gone, her spirit, love,
and legacy carry on through all those blessed to have
known and loved her.
