Kimberly Ann Stillwell, 51, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on January 20, 2026. She was born on December 20, 1974, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Velma Jean Stillwell.
Kimberly was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt whose greatest joy came from being surrounded by her family. She is survived by her loving husband, James Pierce; her children, Amber Leffler, Grant McKinnon (Mary), Hunter Pierce, and Meadow Pierce (Steven Langley, Jr.); and her cherished grandchildren, Aubree, Jr., Iz’Ryel, Eli, and Ryleigh.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Velma Jean Stillwell; her grandmother, Margaret Stillwell; her beloved son, Jacob Stillwell; her aunt, Shelia Stillwell; and her cousin, Bobbie Mitchell.
Kimberly had a deep love for simple pleasures—especially food, with a special fondness for Subway. She adored children and could often be found playing games with them, including soccer. She enjoyed watching television, playing games on her phone, and scrolling through her phone in her downtime. Above all, Kimberly treasured time spent with her family, finding happiness and comfort in their presence.
Known for her selfless heart and strong-willed, stubborn nature, Kimberly gave of herself freely to those she loved. Her strength, love, and unwavering dedication to her family will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
