Kimberly Cargill

Kimberly DiAnne Upton was born in Laurel, Mississippi in 1966, according to her own account to me in an early 2017 interview, but moved with her mom and stepfather to Richardson, Texas as a young girl. At age one-and-a-half her stepfather adopted her and she became Kimberley Pitts. “Mom and Dad owned multiple businesses over the years, she said, and I lived an upper-middle-class life. Definitely everything I needed and most of what I wanted.” She spent her teen years involved in teen things such as sports, dance and YoungLife, a Christian faith teen organization. A good student and bubbly cheerleader on the school dance team, she surprised her family when she elected a life as a mom and wife right out of Lloyd V. Berkner high school instead of going to college in 1984. She was searching for the ideal home life she had had growing up. As with many first love situations, the romance dissolved and Kimberley left with a young son to support on her own while still in her early twenties.

Taking a receptionist job at a medical company, she supported herself and her son as she fought his father for custody. A battle she eventually lost. The loss combined with the unusual harshness of the fight, took a toll on her emotionally. While she was still able to retain visitation rights, the loss of custody was detrimental to her emotionally.

In 1992, a mutual friend introduced her to a man named Brian Cargill and the two had a blind date with another couple. Brian was enamored with her outgoing aura and larger than life personality and it was only three months before Kimberley was pregnant with his baby. Soon after the birth of her second son, however, her personality changed. She was short-tempered, edgy and snappish. Three years into the marriage the two decided to divorce and go their separate ways.

Kimberley found a new boyfriend for a short stint but moved on when things turned sour. The trouble was, she was once again pregnant. By the year 2000, Kimberley had three children, two of which she had custody of. In an effort to improve her circumstances, she packed up the kids and moved to Tyler, Texas to attend Tyler Junior College from which she eventually graduated as a licensed vocational nurse, LVN.

Brian Cargill, her second husband, had started custody proceedings shortly after their divorce and by 2006 had reached some measure of success. Kimberley was none too happy to give up even a smidgeon of control when it came to her son and when he began to refuse to speak to her, she blamed Brian. He claimed their son wasn’t interested in seeing his mother. The embittered former couple fought viciously over the custody and visitation of the boy. All the while, Kimberly was beginning a new relationship.

In 2005 she met and married her third husband. A year later, she had another son. Another year passed and this marriage too ended in divorce.

She worked hard, and
