Kimberly Conner

Kimberly A. Conner of Gillette, NJ, formerly of Mountainside, NJ, passed away on May 15, 2025, at Morristown Medical Center, surrounded by family.

Kim was a proud graduate of Sayreville High School and Montclair State University. She forged a successful, well-respected career in pharmaceutical sales which earned the admiration and respect of her colleagues and clients alike. Her role as National Sales and Account Director at PDI, Inc., gave her the chance to travel extensively across the country, providing opportunities she fully embraced, not only for the experience of travel itself, but for the chance to meet new people, build relationships, and connect with colleagues and clients nationally.

Outside of work, Kim enjoyed a life filled with the things she loved most such as traveling, tennis, working in her garden, or getting lost in a good book. Kim especially cherished time at the beach. She was always happiest with her toes in the sand. Music was a constant in her life, especially classic rock, which filled the background of many of her favorite memories.

She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Buonaguro; her children, Maxwell Conner, Julie Buonaguro, and Jennifer Buonaguro; her dog, Jake; her mother Barbara Twardy her sister, Sherri Rapp; and her aunt, Judy DiLeo. She was predeceased by her father, Robert Twardy.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kim’s memory to the Berkeley Heights, NJ, Home for Good Dogs and/or the Long Hill Township Volunteer Rescue Squad or the Long Hill Township Police Department.
