Kristen Noelle Pace

Kristen Noelle Pace, KNoelle, age 22, passed away on April 15, 2025. Born on August 2, 2002, to Kivin Gardner and Christine Pace Robertson, Kristen was a radiant soul whose light shone through her artistry, her voice, and the love she poured into those around her.

An aspiring artist and gifted singer-songwriter, Kristen lived with passion and creativity at her core. She was often described as “born in the wrong generation” — a true modern-day hippie with a deep love for music, self-expression, and the mystical, including reading tarot cards. She was outspoken, unapologetically herself, and fiercely loved her family. She loved drinking coffee and sharing laughter with the people who mattered most.

Kristen was preceded in death by her beloved grandmothers, Susan Ivey and Geneva Cannon; her sisters, Kaylyn Bratcher and Raven Gardner; her aunt Amber Wiseman; and her cherished "Angel Baby."

She is survived by her loving mother, Christine Pace Robertson, and stepfather, Keigh Robertson; her father, Kivin Gardner; her siblings: Amarah Robertson, Zoey Stoess, Ava Carter, Kiera Gardner, Courtney Luttrell, Josh Luttrell, Jordan Luttrell, Cairo Pace (Katie Little), Asa Robertson, Justyn Green, Adiah Brantley, and Ocean Robertson. She also leaves behind her treasured pets, her dog Doobie and cat Blizzy; her grandfather, Melvin Ivey; her dear friend, Johnie Guy IV; and her nephew Kristopher and niece Patience.

Kristen’s visitation will be held at Legacy Nunnelley Chapel Funeral Home, 4327 Taylor Blvd, Louisville, KY 40215, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m., and again on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. until the time of service. Her funeral service will take place at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, with cremation to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that expressions of sympathy be made in the form of donations to assist with funeral expenses.

Kristen was a force of love, laughter, and light — gone too soon, but never forgotten. Her spirit will live on through the music she made, the memories she left, and the hearts she touched.
