Passed away Saturday morning, November 10, 2018. Kim was born April 22, 1968 in Pittsburg, PA the daughter of George and Diane (Hutzler) Justus. She attended Michigan State University and was employed for several years with Cork Lane Decorating. An amazing wife and wonderful mother, she tirelessly raised three incredible sons. She traveled across the country to cheer for them in football, baseball, lacrosse and wrestling. Her passion was serving others whether that was designing their home dcor, feeding hungry athletes, keeping score at the games, providing emotional guidance and support to her many friends, making people laugh with her hilarious sense of humor, caring for her "fur babies" or just dancing in the kitchen with her husband at 3:00 AM. She loved to travel, especially with her family and friends; and always referred to the beach as her "happy place". On June 8, 1991 she was united in marriage to her loving husband, Tony Latora who survives. Also surviving are her sons, Angelo Latora, Dominic Latora; her mother, Diane (Jim) Schelb; brothers, Brian Justus, Adam Justus; and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Kim was preceded in death by her son, Dante Latora; father, George Justus; grand-mother and hero, Dorothy Justus; and her aunt, Carole MaHoney.
