Kimberly A. Cheatham Hogue was born on April 20, 1960, in Homestead, Pa. She was the second child born from the union of John Cheatham and Odessa McCoy who preceded her in death.

From this union, one son was born Christian Ian Hogue. 

She attended school in the Homestead school district and would go on to graduate from Steel Valley High School class of 1978.

Kimberly then attended Community College of Allegheny County where she earned several certificates. She then began her working career at Mellon Bank which later became BNY Mellon. Kimberly worked there over 20 years holding several positions which included a supervisory role until her eyesight made it difficult to do her job and she went on disability. 

Kimberly accepted the Lord as her Savior during her early teenage years while at Clark Memorial Baptist Church under the pastorate of the late Rev. Dr. Donald A. Tunie. She joined the youth choir, young adults as well as many other activities and service groups at the church.
