CINCINNATI — A SpongeBob SquarePants monument commemorating the life of deceased Army Sgt. Kimberly Walker was reinstalled at Spring Grove Cemetery Friday exactly one year after her death.

The monument, which has two SpongeBob tombstones, went up Oct. 10, 2013 at Spring Grove Cemetery’s Section 144 but was taken down the next day after a long dispute over its design.

When Walker of Madisonville was growing up, she began watching SpongeBob SquarePants cartoons on television and was hooked.

Her mother, Deborah Walker, said that meant SpongeBob everywhere.
