STOUT
Kimberly Riann Nicole Stout, 16, left us on Oct. 25,
2022. She was born on Oct. 12, 2006.
Kimberly attended and played softball at West Jefferson
High School. She was a force, an incredibly
strong and confident young woman. She made everyone
around her feel supported by her strength and goodness.
Her friends and family always knew that eventually she
would take over the world.
No one has favorites, but if they did it would be Kimberly.
At family gatherings, you would always find Kimberly
surrounded by her younger cousins with as many
as she could carried in her arms. She was the child matriarch,
she was so generous with her love, and she was
completely loved and adored in return.
Only two weeks ago, she celebrated her Sweet 16 and
her Nana Geri, great-aunt Colie and great-aunt Barb
took to the backyard stage. Kimberly wanted a Mama
Mia! Party, so they performed the song “Super Trooper”
in full, bedazzled brilliance. This wild wonderful fun
and splendor was a perfect reflection of who Kimberly
was and how much her family loved her.
Kimberly loved musicals and was a lover of the arts.
It was a dream of hers to travel to Paris and to one day
become an art teacher. She was also a fierce competitor
on the softball diamond. She loved the sport and loved
her teammates, and she loved Friday night Roughrider
football games under the lights. Anything and everything
Kimberly did, she put her whole heart into. She
was a social butterfly and could be found at a friend’s
house as often as her own. She loved staying with the
Rogers family so often that it became her second home.
And she spent so much time with her Aunt Nikki that
not only was Nikki like a second mom but the two were
inseparable. They were best friends. Everywhere she
went, she brightened the space with her light.
Her mom adds that Kimberly was extremely loud in
the kitchen, especially late at night. She was the best
big sister to her siblings. She was always dancing and
was the most amazing, stubborn, loveable ball of perfection
that’s ever walked the earth.
Kimberly was taken away too young, and we are
heartbroken. She will be forever missed and forever remembered.
Kimberly is survived by: her mother, Ashley; her father,
Nevada; her siblings, Carson and Kinsley; and her
biological father, Randy. Additional survivors include
grandparents, Geri and Mark Cox, Pam Berry, Ronald
Zimmerman, and Dennis Stout. Aunts and uncles include
Favorite Aunt Nicole (Kiki) Stout (Steve), Elizabeth
and Ryan Shannon, Michael and Erika McGovern,
Jennifer and Joe Rhoades, William Cox, Danny Cox,
Markie Cox, Morgan Zimmerman, Adam Zimmerman,
Ronnie Zimmerman, Wendy Holbrook, Steve and
Brenda Martin, Nikki Oiler, Shelby Jones; many aunts,
uncles, cousins, and special friends, who all loved her
and will miss her greatly.
A Celebration of Life was held for Kimberly on Nov.
1 at Rader-McDonald-Tidd Funeral Home, West Jefferson.
