Kimberly La Verne Davison Goggans (Binky), 42, of Dallas, Texas died  on Jan. 12, 2013. She  was  born  Nov. 6, 1970, in  Sylacauga, Ala.,  the  daughter of  Larry  Joe  Goggans and  the  late  Julie Davison. After the  passing of  her mother,  Kimberly was   reared  by   her   grandmother,   LaVerne  Brooken  Hannon during her  adolescent years and  her  parents during her  teens. She attended Coosa   County school  systems in  Rockford, Ala.  Kimberly later moved to   Pensacola,  Fla.  where she  graduated  from   Escambia County High School in 1989. She  later graduated from  Troy State University with honors in  1999,  with a  degree in  business. Kimberly moved to  Dallas, Texas in  2000, and  was  employed with  Verizon Corporation where she worked 13 years until the  Lord called  her  home.

Trademarked for her  big smile and  the  gap she  inherited from  her  mother, Kimberly was  a remarkable woman who personified God's love  through giving whether by  gifts or  words of  encouragement. Close family called her  Binky, a nickname given  to her  as an infant. She  was  a caring individual  that had  an  ambitious outlook on  life,  and  would give  you  whatever she  could  to  help  others especially children. She  was  a woman of dreams; God  showed her things often in her sleep.  Kimberly had  a beautiful angelic voice.  She  loved  music, and  loved  to  sing.  She  will  be  remembered for  a compassion that always considered others before herself, a love  for  traveling  and  exploring new  things, a giant  sense  of humor with a glowing smile that would lighten the  room, a love  for  children and  making them happy - She  personified LOVE. Kimberly LaVerne Goggans is love.
