Kimberly A. Tyler

In loving memory of Kimberly Anne Tyler

Kimberly "Kim" Tyler, a devoted mother, cherished nana, dedicated nurse, and loyal friend, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026 at the age of 68.

Born on October 13th in Jackson, Michigan. She moved to Haughton, Louisiana in 1977. Kim lived a life defined by compassion, service, and unwavering love for her family.

For 40 years, she served her community as a registered nurse. She started her career at Doctors Hospital, but she found her home at Bossier Medical. She worked at LSU, VA medical, and as a travel nurse, before retiring from Caddo Correctional as an RN. She brought comfort, healing, and unmatched empathy to countless patients and families. Her colleagues knew her as a pillar of strength, a mentor, and a gentle soul, who always put others before herself.

While her career was a testament to her giving nature, her greatest joy was her family. As a mother, she was an anchor providing endless encouragement, wisdom, and unconditional love. As a Nana, she TRULY shone. She treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren, spoiling them with affection, building lasting tradition, and creating memories they will cherish forever.

Beyond her family and career Kim was a true and loyal friend. She possessed a rare ability to listen and offer sound encouraging advice, laugh heartily, and offer a helping hand to anyone in need. Her warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her children Mandy Bernos and Mary Garner, her adored grandchildren Chris Kinsey, BJ Browning, Brittany Browning, Victoria Sims, Landon Otwell, Corbin Garner, Brayden Garner, her cherished great grand children Bailey, Georgia, Brantleigh, Bradley, Saylor, Braxton, and Sutton, her siblings Ron, Jeff, Kevin, and Steven Phillips, Brother in life Chris Viera and wife Rhonda Viera and a lifetime of friends and former colleagues who will miss her dearly.
