Kimberly Clapper

Kimberly Ann Clapper, 62 of Zanesville, has found her way to Heaven on September 21, 2025. She is now walking with Jesus and healed by the hands of God!

Kim was born on October 3, 1962, in Zanesville, the daughter of the late Carl Clapper and surviving mother and step-father Connie Jean (Blackstone) Embrey and Steve Embrey. She devoted her life to the care and well-being of her family, always ensuring that her home was filled with love and warmth.

She was a Christian by faith who lived her life with grace and compassion. She will be remembered for her smile and her gift of humor, which brought joy to all who knew her. In her earlier years, she enjoyed staying active through walking and dancing, and throughout her life she found pleasure in watching movies, playing cards, and enjoying life to her fullest. Above all, Kim was known for her generosity of spirit and her willingness to help anyone in need when she was capable.

In addition to her mother, Kimberly is survived by her children, Alisha (Alex) Smeltz, Josh Willey, and Tyler (Lela) Willey; her 12 grandchildren; her siblings, Carla (Chuck) Fluharty, Craig Clapper, and Kelli Roberts; as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Kimberly is preceded in death by her father and nephew.

She will be greatly missed! As we lay her down to rest from her earthly form, we will be celebrating her eternal life with Jesus!

A graveside service will be held at 2 PM on Friday, September 26, 2025, at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery where Kim will be laid to rest, 601 Sunflower Drive, New Concord, OH 43762. Pastor Darren Tolbert will officiate the service.www.farusfh.com
