Kimberley Ann (Pickering) Smith, 55, of Henrietta, passed away Monday, December 9, 2024, at her home.

Kimberley was born December 28, 1968, in Kansas City, the daughter of Jack and Dixie (Allen) Pickering.

Survivors include: mother, Dixie Pickering of Henrietta; fiancé, William Loyd of the home; two sons, Justin (Brandi) Pickering of Henrietta and Geoffry Smith of Maine; two daughters, Mellisa (Christopher) Loyd of Henrietta and Maria Smith of Harrisonville; 11 grandchildren: Billy, Abigail, Rylie, Brady, Trevor, Tristan, Tobias, Lillie, Joseph, Dakota, and James; and sister, Shirley Eytchison of Oregon.

She was preceded in death by her father, Jack Pickering, and brother, Kevin Pickering.

Kimberley was raised and educated in the area of her birth.  Known for her free spirit and candid nature, Kimberley lived life unapologetically.  She had a deep love for camping, fishing, and swimming, as well as enjoying quiet moments watching old Lifetime movies, Grey's Anatomy, and 90 Day Fiancé.  She found great joy in attending her grandchildren's sporting events, always cheering them on with pride.  Above all, Kimberley cherished her family—her children, grandchildren, and her beloved dogs.  She was a Wiccan Baptist.  Kimberley will be dearly missed by all who know her.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Kimberley Smith Memorial Fund.  They can be left at or mailed to Thurman Funeral Home, 507 East Main Street-P.O. Box 190, Richmond, MO 64085.
