Kim was always so nice and helpful. You could tell that she truly cared about her students and her students were impacted by her genuine relationships with them. She will be greatly missed in the classroom by many. My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends for their loss.

There aren't enough words to describe the impact that Ms. Culler's kindness and encouragement had on her students. She truly cared about the success and well-being of those she taught, and she had a sense of humor that was loved by many. She was one of my favorite teachers in high school, and we still chatted throughout my senior year even though I was no longer in her class. I am saddened by this loss, but I know that the joy she brought to those around her will never be forgotten. I offer my deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Kim,
You were such an amazing colleague, educator, and friend. I will never forget the many VFHS Boston Trips we had together, chaperoning and sharing a seat on the bus. We laughed until we cried. VFHS will miss you!

Ms. Culler was a good teacher to learn from. She taught her students something new everyday. I remembered when I went to pick up my book from school, she had a bucket full of candy for her students to take. I will miss her.

Mrs. Culler was one of my favorite teachers at Valley Forge. She helped me understand and find a joy in Shakespearean literature as well as was the class I made many of the friendships I have today. Mrs. Culler will always remain in my heart as one of the many inspirational teachers I had in my educational career

I am so saddened to learn of Kim's passing away. to I had to opportunity to meet Kim these past several years through my work at the Cleveland Clinic. She inspired me. Her heart radiated joy for all those she met. She often shared stories of the students she met and I know she changed lives in the classroom. I believe she has wings. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Kathy Guido

Though I did not have the pleasure of having her as an English teacher, I had Mr. Zupancic. I saw how happy she made everyone she came in contact with how caring and kind she was to everyone. My deepest condolences go out to the Culler family and Mr. Zupancic.

She was an amazing teacher and one of my favorites at that! She was the one who inspired us all to continue writing what our hearts desired and challenged us academically so that we would further understand the importance of language literature. She was funny and relatable in such a way that her students felt connected and understood. She was accepting and so full of life. She will be remembered. Thank you for inspiring us all!

Ms. Culler was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was also one of the best teachers that I have had. She was so sweet and understanding to every student. I had her this past school year and she would always make sure to check up on her students academically and emotionally, she truly cared for each and every one of us. I will forever remember Ms. Culler and I am so thankful to have had her as my teacher. She will be missed greatly. May she rest in peace.

Mrs. Culler was one of the kindest and most understanding teachers at Valley Forge. I will always remember how dedicated she was to her students. She impacted me as a writer, student, and person greatly. She really set an example for what an educator should be, and I strive to reach that standard on a day by day basis in my classroom 7 years after last having her in class. She will be very sorely missed.

There has only been one teacher that ever made me excited about writing in my life. Mrs. Culler was the person that told me to take my ability to write seriously and because of that I decided to write an essay that got me a scholarship in my senior year. She was one of the kindest and most thoughtful teachers I ever had. She will definitely be missed
