Franklin, Ohio

Kimberly Ann Lester, born October 24, 1961 in California, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2025, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with gallbladder cancer.

Kim found joy in riding in her jeep with the top off, antiquing with her mother and she also loved cooking for her family.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Kent Shill; mother, Patricia Lester; her loving children: daughters, Kati Barnett, Jasmine Trimbach, and Hayley Trimbach; and sons, Casey Barnett, Tyler Trimbach, and Noah Trimbach. Kim also leaves behind her step-children, Samantha Shill and KC Shill; a special friend, Pam Jivoin; and beloved dogs, along with numerous family members and friends who were touched by her warmth and kindness.

Kim was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Lester, and her brother, Kevin Lester.

The family extends special thanks to the staff and doctors at Kettering CICU and Kettering Comfort Care Hospice for their compassionate care during her final days. Kim's loving spirit will forever be remembered and cherished by all who knew her.

We love you to the moon and back!
