Kimberly J. (Crawford) Harding, age 65, of Vandergrift, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, November 2, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Born October 10, 1959, in New Kensington, she was the cherished daughter of the late Jerry and Grace (Gamble) Crawford.
Kimberly grew up in Tarentum and attended Highlands School District. She devoted her career to caring for others as a Personal Care Aide in the healthcare field, where her kindness and dedication left a lasting impact on those she served.
A beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, Kimberly found joy in simple pleasures. She delighted in spoiling her grandchildren, hunting for treasures at yard sales, and gathering around the table for games with friends and family. Her warm spirit and generosity touched everyone who knew her.
She is survived by her children: Duane Harding Jr. of Freeport, Josh (Michelle) Harding of Vandergrift, and Amanda Harding of Upper Burrell; her grandchildren: Cody, Justyn, Luke, and Riley; and her great-grandchildren: Paislee, Cody Jr., and Oakleigh. Kimberly is also survived by her siblings: Mark Crawford, Larry Crawford, and Pat Crawford.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Duane (Skip) Harding Sr., and her siblings, Jerry Jr., Richard, Terry, and Crystal Zalus.
In honoring Kimberly’s wishes, a private family service will be held. Arrangements are entrusted to R.J. Slater IV Funeral Home & Cremation Services, New Kensington, PA. For more information, please visit http://www.rjslater.com or call tel:724-335-0100
