It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kim Gander who went to be with her Savior on the early morning of June 8, 2023. She was born on October 16, 1968, in Madison, Wisconsin to Michael and Karen Hotlen.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. 

Kim's devotion to family, heart for others, and passion for the unborn will be remembered by her family and friends. Her unwavering faith and strength in the face of adversity will remain a lasting inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her steadfast faith is evident in her self-published children's book, "Our God is Faithful". Illustrated by her youngest daughter, Shaylah, this book is a beautiful and heartwarming collection of stories that teaches children about the faithfulness of God.

Kim is survived by her parents Michael and Karen Hotlen, her brother Patrick (Julie) Hotlen, her husband Lee Gander, her daughter Ashlee (Graeme) Pitman, son Matthew (Camille) Gilbert, son Eric (Samantha) Gander, daughter Mary-Marissa (Arbonne) Molina, and daughter Shaylah Gander. She was also a cherished grandmother to Rowan, Madeleine, Eleanor, Micah, Emmett, Xavier, and two granddaughters on the way. She is also survived by her niece Emily Hotlen-Young, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Her celebration of life will be on (date, location, time) with lunch to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made directly to her youngest daughter, Shaylah Gander for a college fund. (need information for this)
