Kimberly Ann Gilberti's Obituary
Kimberly Ann Gilberti, 56
A lover of words and reading, our Kimmy is known for her written expressions, whether it be a love letter to her husband, an inside joke shared amongst sisters, or a handwritten note hanging on the wall of a beloved granddaughter’s room. It seems only fitting we remember her today in the manner in which she inspires us.
To our Kimmy…You are the soul of this family. We promise to cherish and honor the beautiful life you built. They say there’s no accidental meeting between two souls, and that love will live on with your soulmate and best friend until you meet again. The home you shared will continue to be filled with love, laughter, and long days by the lake. Your grandchildren will carry forward your fearless spirit and the love of their Noni, ensuring our family traditions will be passed down through the generations (we’ll save you a meatball out of the sauce). Together, we will carry you with us as we walk through the heavy days ahead and feel your presence guiding us forward as you have all these years.
Love,
Your Family
