Kimberly Anne Stewart
With a heart as radiant as a summer sun and a spirit that embraced life’s countless hues. Kimberly Anne Stewart left this world too soon on March 10, 2026, in the city where her story began-Indianapolis, Indiana. Born on September 27, 1974, Kimberly was a shining light whose journey through life touched the hearts of all who knew her.
Kimberly’s days were woven with passions that revealed the depths of her vibrant personality. She found joy in restoring cars, breathing new life into engines and steel, a testament to her determination and care. The great outdoors was her sanctuary-whether tending her garden with tender hands, feeling the soft sand beneath her feet at the beach, or traveling to new horizons with eyes full of wonder. Her time with her co-workers at the United Parcel Service was cherished as much as quiet moments spent with her beloved dog, Riley, who was a steadfast companion through both bustling days and tranquil evenings.
Born and bred in Indianapolis, Kimberly’s roots ran deep in the city’s soil. She was a beacon of warmth and laughter, proudest of the lasting bonds she nurtured with family and friends. In her embrace, they found strength, comfort, and unwavering love. Though her parents, Riley and Theresa Stewart, have passed on, their legacy lives through Kimberly’s every smile and action.
She leaves behind her treasured sister, Kele (Fabrizio) Volpino, whose bond with Kimberly was a source of mutual strength and affection. Also mourning her loss are her aunt and uncle, Mary and Bernard Hall, alongside several cousins who carry fond memories of shared moments and celebrations.
There will be a private family service.
Services entrusted to O’Riley – Branson Funeral Service & Crematory, 6107 S. East Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46227.

From everything I read about her, I truly wish I had known her. My deepest condolences to those who knew and loved her. Clearly, hers was a life supremely well lived.
There are lives we live alone,
and then there are the lives we are given twice,
once in breath,
and once in the quiet, steady presence
of a sister.
Before the world named us,
before we understood loss or language,
we were already learning each other,
in shared rooms,
in laughter that arrived too quickly,
in tears that never had to be explained.
She was there
when the world felt too large for small hands,
and somehow,
it became smaller, kinder,
simply because she stood within it.
A sister is not just memory,
she is the echo that lingers in the marrow,
the voice that softens the edges of every silence,
the invisible thread
that pulls your heart gently forward
when it forgets how to move.
You grow together,
through seasons that do not ask permission,
through versions of yourselves
that come and go like tides,
yet somehow,
what remains is not time,
but knowing.
A glance that says everything.
A laugh that remembers who you were
before the world asked you to become more.
And oh,
the beauty of it,
not in perfection,
but in the way love learns to stay.
In the ordinary moments
that no one else would ever see as sacred:
the way she said your name,
as if it belonged somewhere safe…
the way her presence
made even silence feel like home.
A sister’s life beside yours
is not measured in years,
it is measured in how deeply
you are changed
by having been loved by her.
And even now,
in every soft corner of becoming,
in every quiet breath between what was
and what will be,
she remains.
Not as something lost,
but as something carried.
Forever,
as the most beautiful part
of you.
This Poem Is Yours Sis…I Love You Beyond All that Ever Is Or Will Be… May God Bless You and Hug You For me… Always and Forever Your Sis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been thinking about us girly, about the two young girls who set out to discover the world, we didn’t do anything halfway… only you and I could knock out seventeen countries in a couple months… such wonderful adventures that became part of who we are. We were the first in our family to venture overseas in search of our relative… our beginnings, to discover the people whose lives, loves, and histories had helped make our own existence possible.
How extraordinary it was to do that together! We weren’t just discovering places. We were discovering pieces of ourselves, learning about the people who came before us, and making memories that belonged to the two of us alone…and that was just the beginning.
So much fun, so much curiosity about everything, and so many more places we wanted to explore…
I find myself thinking about our plans made last year when you were here, right beside where I am sitting now writing you. I was thinking to those wonderfully colorful years of growing wiser. What we called our whimsical wise years… There was still so much we wanted to learn and do together, new places to visit, new friends yet to know, and life to experiences to make life all the more ours… We always imagined ourselves years from now, still curious, still discovering, laughing about our younger selves while finding new reasons to laugh at and share the women we are always becoming.
And that is the one thing I miss most, Sis… the life we were still looking forward to, together.
I wanted to know the woman you would become in another ten years, twenty years, and beyond. I wanted to hear what you thought about everything we’d learned, what had changed your mind, what had made you happier, what new discoveries had captured your curious spirit.
I wanted us to become those women together…🥺
There are moments when I wish I could tell you something I’ve discovered, something I’ve read, somewhere I’ve been, or simply share a thought that only you would understand because you knew the life from which it came.
And then I remember… 🥺😢
That moment hurts in a way I will never be able to explain…
not in words,
not today,
but I’ll continue to try…🥺
Since I can remember you were always the first one I would share my work with… I love to watch you study them, hear what you see that perhaps even I haven’t discovered yet. Your faith in me was one of the most beautiful gifts you ever gave me…😞
I wish I could tell you that I’ve learned how to live with missing you. But there are some loves so much a part of our existence that their absence changes how we experience everything that follows…this is ours Sis… 💔😞💔
You weren’t supposed to be someone I remembered, Kim. You were supposed to be someone I continued making memories with…
I wanted so much that for you love… so much. All those years of becoming, of finding happiness in unexpected places, of learning something new about yourself, of waking up with another possibility waiting for you…
And YOU deserved every one of them… ALL 💗💗💗💗💗💗
And now,
only me…
holding us so carefully… and I will keep our memories alive, Sis. Not because I have to, but because I love remembering you and me…👩❤️👩
I hope wherever you are, Mums, Pops, Digsby and the whole gang are together and that the love surrounding you is beyond anything we could ever imagine here, this I hope with everything I’ve got my love… all…all…ALL… 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
And if there is some way for you to know what remains in my heart, please know this, Sis,
Of all the extraordinary places life has taken me, one of the greatest gifts I was ever given was you while discovering so many of them, and I would travel every mile again, if only I could have one more day with you.
We had so much more growing wiser to do, my beautiful Sis. And while I must continue these years without you beside me, every beautiful discovery will carry a little sadness because I cannot share it with you, and a little happiness because I was fortunate enough to have shared so much already.
I love you, Kimberly Anne, with everything that I am, everything we are… now, were, and everything I will continue becoming… and I know always where to look to find you…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU Sis!!! Beyond the beyond of all that is, ever was or will be,… and of course, beyond that still.
Forever your big Sis,
Your Kel 🙏❤️🙏❤️🥰🙏🕯️🙏🙌🙏🫶🙏
