Kimberly Williford Obituary

Kimberly Griffin Williford, 68 of Simpsonville, was called home on August 7, 2025. Kim was born in Collinsville, IL to the late Marshall Williford and Frances Cooper. He graduated from Collinsville High School before joining the U.S. Marine Corps in 1976. He held many jobs but was most proud of his landscape company: Williford Landscape & Lawn Care. He married his wife, Linda in 1995 and moved to South Carolina in 2000, where he worked for BMW before retiring in 2011. He later joined the Marine Corps League of Greenville where he gained an amazing band of brothers and sisters. He became a vital part of their fund raising, community events, and was named "Marine of the Year" in 2023. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda Grayson-Williford; two children, Jacquelyn Murdock and Joseph Murdock (Jerica); four grandchildren, Aidan, Dailn, Tyleigh, and Maddox; sister, Karen Yeager (John); and nieces, Emily Yeager and Sara Ahrenrenhoersterbaeumer (Tim). In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Christopher Williford; and nephew, Zach Yeager. A visitation will be held Monday, August 11, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes, Southeast with the memorial service the following day, Tuesday, August 12th at 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel with full military honors.
