She was placed on Death's list after the late death of Tod Waggner caused her to avoid the muggers meant to kill her, thus making her survival an unintended result of Alex Browning interfering with Death's design for Flight 180. Due to this, Death made a new design for her and all those who avoided their fates due to the unintended Flight 180 survivors, for them to die from a major pile-up on the Route 23 highway, in order to tie up all the loose ends caused by Alex's premonition
Unlike most of the unintended survivors in the franchise, Kimberly is the only visionary that actually succeeded in cheating Death. After drowning herself in a lake, she was rescued by fellow survivor, Thomas Burke, who brought her to Dr. Kalarjian as she resucictated Kimberly using a defibulator, thus invalidating both of their places on the list by giving her new life
Years later, when the remaining members of Iris' bloodline came to "JB" looking for the person who survived in Iris' book, he told them the story of how Kimberly Corman defeated Death but exclaims that Iris was against such a "high risk" gamble and that they must either follow in Kimberly's footsteps or kill someone else for their lifespan if they wished to escape. Yet, despite Charlie "reviving" his drowning sister, a doctor later revealed that Stefani was only unconscious and thus the two were then immediately claimed by Death to end the Campbell bloodline
