Kimberly Lynn Stover, age 55, of Clearwater, Florida passed away on Friday, July 4, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. Kim was born on November 17, 1969, in Lima, Ohio to John E. Stover and Cheryl L. Frymyer. She attended school in Bluffton, Ohio before relocating to Clearwater, FL. She later lived in Georgia for nearly a decade before eventually returning to Clearwater.
Kim worked for Bank of America corporate after several years as an assistant manager of a banking center, a cumulative 15 years. She was always a dedicated employee, holding various administrative and management positions throughout her professional life.
Kim enjoyed spending time with her family and friends and the simple joys of life—cooking, doing crossword puzzles, playing games, and sitting on her porch to enjoy the nice weather, visit with neighbors, and observe the wildlife. She also loved visiting and playing with her grandsons. She was a lifelong animal lover, faithfully caring for her two dogs Pepper and Cayenne into their old age.
Those who knew Kim will remember her radiant smile, kindness, and generous spirit. She had a warm personality that made anyone who met her feel welcome and cared for.
She will be lovingly remembered by her life partner of 19 years, Curtis Smallwood, her daughter Nicole (Dustin) Armstrong of Kathleen, GA, her grandsons John and Josiah Armstrong of Kathleen, GA, her father John (Susan) Stover of Clearwater, FL, her sisters Kelly (Scott) Light of Atlanta, GA, Ericka (Frymyer) Wiley of Quincy, MI, Cindy (Stover) Blaski of Lima, OH, and brother Curt (Amy) Stover of Ada, OH. Kim was preceded in death by her mother, Cheryl Lynn Frymyer.
A private memorial service will be held in Kim’s honor in Clearwater, FL for immediate family and friends.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Kim was such a great person. She will be missed.
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May you take comfort in knowing an angel is watching over all of you. Kim was loved and will be dearly missed. 🤍
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Kim was the best neighbor I could ask for growing up as a kid/teen few doors down, she and Curtis always stopped and talked with me and waved hello when I saw them sitting out on the porch cooking and or out front with the dogs. Kim was an amazing woman and she will truly be missed.
I’m so very sorry for your families loss, I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
My condolences on your loss. Kim was always such a friendly and kind neighbor to me and my son. The words about her are so true, living in the same community and experiences of pool chats, hello waves sitting outside and while neighbors walk their dogs. She was definitely welcomed and embraced, up above, with a crowd of family and fur babies. And that’s a good feeling to hold on to. ❤️🙏
Kim was taken from her family and friends much too soon, but her soul now rests with her Heavenly Father in the presence of Jesus. And although my heart continues to ache for my sister whom I miss very much, I can find comfort through faith in knowing that she is no longer suffering on Earth. Kim had a compassionate heart and an infectious smile. I always admired her appreciation and affinity for the simple pleasures of life. I respected her inner strength, a quality that I am not aware Kim even knew she had, but was obvious to me for most of our adult lives. I loved my “sis” and have our memories together to cherish.
