In Loving Memory of Kimberley Lynn Nesbitt Giacobbe
July 2, 1965 – October 16, 2025

Kimberley Lynn Nesbitt Giacobbe, age 60, of Fairview, North Carolina, passed away on October 16, 2025, alongside her devoted husband, Paul John Giacobbe, in a sudden and tragic event that was unexpected and heartbreaking, leaving their family and friends in deep sorrow.

Born on July 2, 1965, in Washington, DC, Kimberley was the cherished daughter of the late Mr. William “Bill” Clark Nesbitt (01/17/2009) and Mrs. Glenda Annette Newman Nesbitt. She was the proud and loving mother of Ryan Kent Sayles and the late Caleb Bryson Giacobbe (07/14/2025). She is survived by her daughter-in-law, Estrella H. Giacobbe and adored granddaughter, Carter Jade Giacobbe, who devotedly called her “Lovey.”

She is also survived by her sister, Christine Nesbitt Lopez; her niece, Ashelee Brooke Holland, and husband, Jessie Ray Holland; and their sons, Logan Reese Holland and Spencer Cole Holland — who affectionately called her “Aunt Kiki.” To her family and countless friends, Kimberley was the heartbeat of every gathering, a radiant presence whose warmth, laughter, and love made every moment brighter.

Those blessed to share life’s journey with Kimberley knew her as a queen in every sense — graceful, stylish, and full of joy. A true beauty with a generous heart, she had a knack for making everyone around her feel special. Her love for travel took her all over the world, and she fulfilled a lifelong dream in April 2023 when she stood beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Kimberley found peace and inspiration in nature, especially in her favorite plants — hydrangeas, orchids, and magnolias — each one reflecting her beauty and strength in its own way. She also adored English Bulldogs for their loyal charm and flamingos for their elegance and color, which suited her perfectly.

She was known for her love of celebration — holiday gatherings, birthday parties, and dinners at her home were legendary, filled with laughter, good food, and Kimberley’s signature touch of style. Her home was always open, her table always set, and her heart always full.

To know Kimberley was to be loved by her. She was a best friend, an inspiration, and a true joy to travel through life with. Her laughter was contagious, her kindness effortless, and her love for family and friend’s everlasting.

Kimberley’s dedication extended beyond her family and friends to her professional life. A committed worker to her employer and a valued contributor to her own beauty business, she approached every task with care, excellence, and her characteristic warmth, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she worked with.

Though Kimberley’s earthly journey has ended, the beauty of her spirit will continue to bloom in the gardens she adored, the memories she created, and the lives she so deeply touched. She will be missed beyond measure but remembered with endless love and gratitude.

A beloved child of Christ, Kimberley walked in faith and grace. Her light now reunites with loved ones who went before her, and she rejoices in the everlasting peace of His eternal embrace.

  9. So so sorry for your loss. She was a shining light in this world and a wonderful person and friend .

  10. My fondness memory of Kim is the time I went to Pigeon Forge with her and Christine years ago. We had so much fun. We were at the Island when Kim saw a huge parrot and its trainer in front of the show area. She was so excited. The trainer said that the parrot didn’t like people but that parrot went straight to her and the trainer allowed her to hold him. Well… the parrot did like Kim but he liked her fake eyelashes even more because he took them. We laughed so hard we had tears. Kim looked at me and said; “he thinks they’re a bug!” The world lost a very kind soul. It’s beyond sad. Only the Heavenly Father can soothe the sadness. May her friends and family have comfort in the many wonderful memories of her going forward.
