Kim Elizabeth McCarrell

On Friday, January 8, 2021 we lost a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and friend. Kim Elizabeth McCarrell was called home to her eternal rest. She was born December 3, 1965 from the union of Charles Wesley Alexander and Hannah Fletcher, two loving, doting parents, both deceased. Serving the Lord, Jesus Christ was always a central part of her home life, and at an early age she was baptized and became a member of Clark Memorial Baptist Church. Later in life she became a good friend of Second Baptist Church. Kim was educated through the Steel Valley school district, where sometimes it was hard but she persevered. With that smile. Always with that smile. Kim went on to become a certified electrician, CVS employee and then a crossing guard for the Steel Valley area, but her family was her central focus. Kim was blessed with two loving and devoted children. Her son, her beloved, devoted “LC,” Lloyd Charles Stevens from her union with Lloyd Stevens and her” twin”, her sweet, loving Tiffany from her union with Darrell McCarrell. They were her joy and she was committed to caring for and raising them. Kim’s family members were not the only ones who were showered with her genuine love, care and concern. She would sacrifice her time, money and even sometimes her own health, to be there for others in their time of need. Few knew of the many health issues that Kim faced as she never complained. Kim took great joy in getting her hair “did” and her nails done! She loved shopping, purses and helping others. She’d buy out the “All Occasion” cards wherever she could find them to make sure she could send a card to the many, many friends she encouraged along the way. No one was ever a stranger and everyone she met was touched by her love and generosity. Always an encouraging word, smile, wave…you’d go the mailbox, not expecting anything special…and there it would be, right on time, bringing a smile to your face, a warmth to your heart…a card from Kim! Kim’s entry to eternal rest was not only welcomed by our Heavenly Father, but by the loved ones that preceded her there: Her parents, Charles and Hannah Alexander and brother Charles Phillip Alexander. The life of Kim Elizabeth McCarrell and her legacy of love, sweetness and giving will live on through all those she touched along the way. She will be cherished and remember forever by her beloved children, Lloyd Charles “LC” Stevens and Tiffani McCarrell, grandchildren (who did no wrong in her eyes); Lloyd Charles, Jr., Darnell Ky-air, Dorian King, and Symalia Stevens, and Ay’onna and Ty’ree Taylor, sister; Phyllis Alexander-Rouse, brothers; Paul Wesley Alexander and John Michael Alexander, special cousins; Martha and Denise, Michelle and Lauren, Roy and Yvette, as well as host of extended family, friends, and loved ones.
