Kimberly Ann Avakian (Flick)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kimberly Ann Avakian, who departed from this world on 12/25/23. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on August 23, 1957 to Leslie and Mary Flick, Kimberly lived a life full of love, compassion, and commitment to her family and friends. After over 20 years serving the community at Joe’s Cafe in Santa Barbara, Kimberly was a kind word and a smiling face to so many in our beautiful city.

Kimberly is survived by her two grandchildren, daughter, brother, two sisters, and her many adored friends who will forever cherish the precious memories of her. If you would like information regarding services, please contact her daughter, Mikyla, for more information.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to turtleconservancy.org to honor Kimberly’s love for all thing tortoises or to please consider a donation to her goFundMe page (https://www.gofundme.com/f/kimberly-ann-avakian ) to help the family cope with medical expenses at this time. She will be deeply missed but will live on in the hearts and memories of those she touched.
