Kimberly Marie LeFave

In loving memory of Kimberly, who graced this world with her presence on October 24, 1968, in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and departed peacefully at home on September 23, 2026. Kimberly was the daughter of Norman Parent and the late Maureen (Miele) Klein. Her mother, Maureen, and her beloved husband, Richard LeFave, predeceased her. She is survived by her father, Norman Parent; her treasured children, Jacob and Nathaniel; and her beloved sisters, Tracie Durant and Renee Vass. A proud graduate of Amesbury High School in the class of 1985, Kim furthered her education at Franklin Pierce University, earning a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance in 2010. Her professional journey began as a production technician, but her heart's calling led her to devote herself to her family as a full-time mother and homemaker. Kimberly shared 20 years of marriage with Richard (Rick) LeFave, during which they built a life in Exeter, New Hampshire. Together, they raised their two boys, Jacob and Nathaniel. A woman of many talents and passions, Kim was an avid painter, finding inspiration in the beauty of nature. Her watercolor and oil paintings were not just expressions of her talent but gifts of love that she generously shared with family and friends, often creating exquisite bookmarks that captured her artistic spirit. Kim had a love for comedy, delighting in performing amateur stand-up and attending comedic concerts. Her joy extended to the simple pleasures of gardening and taking leisurely walks in nature. For over two decades, Kimberly was an active member of Saint Michael’s Parish in Exeter, where her faith and community were unwavering pillars in her life. A celebration of Kimberly's life will take place on October 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Michael’s Parish, located at 9 Lincoln Street, Exeter, NH. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a remarkable woman who touched the hearts of all who knew her. Kimberly's kind heart and love of laughter will be deeply missed but not forgotten as she lives on in the hearts of her family and friends, forever cherished and remembered.
