Obituary of Mya Kimzey

Claudia (Mya) Kimzey passed away on August 1,2025.

There will be no services per her request.

Mya was born in 1948 to Claude and Linda (Boder) Kimzey. Mya graduated from West Liberty in 1966.

Mya enjoyed nature, friends and family and her passion was music. She wrote these lyrics when she knew the end was near:

Autumn when wind begin to blow

When leaves turn red and gold

And life begins to slow

Fields find harvest day

When sunlight starts to fade

And skies are turning gray

When seasons change there is

Bound to be some rain

When seasons change

Only love remains

In Autum when leaves are letting go

When song birds are flying home

And rain turns to snow

Sitt'n by the fire at seasons end

In gratitude for all that's been

When I hear the angels sing

Amen

Mya is survived by her son Jason(Traci), their children and grandchildren. Sisters Marty and Gloria.

Mya was preceded in death by her parents, brother Larry and special friend Ruthe.
