Kim Louise Dayton (McVicar) of Northwood, NH, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2020 surrounded by her loving family and friends after a long illness.

Kim was born in Sioux City, Iowa on April 26, 1959 to David and Nancy McVicar.

Family spouses and many other cherished family members are mourning her loss at this time.

Kim was an incredibly creative soul. Over the course of her lifetime, she mastered Quilling, Jewelry Design, Soap, Candle and Cheese Making. She had her own natural body products company called KLM Naturals and was an amazing floral designer. She loved planning and catering parties as well. She could do anything.

Kim was extremely proud to work for Elliott Rose as a Floral Designer, she was a gifted singer and loved to perform Karaoke as a DJ for several years. She graduated not only from Cosmetology School shortly after high school but then went back to college and obtained her Associates Degree in Graphic Arts / Photography in 2004. Her most important job, however, was being a foster mother and she lovingly fostered many children.

Kim's favorite things were her family, her friends and her furbabies.
