Kimberly Bock

Kimberly A. Kolda Bock, 52, of Edwardsville, IL, born April 18, 1974, in Belleville, IL and she passed away on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in St. Louis, MO.

Kim lived a life full of love and excitement. Starting at St. John Neuman Elementary and carrying through her days at Triad High School, Kim made friends easily with her lighthearted and fun spirit. She remained in touch with childhood friends, as well as making new friends thought-out her life’s journey. Many memories shared of Kim include dancing and fun. Kim was never the quietest person in the room, and that energy she brought into the room will carry on through her daughters, family and friends.

After high school, Kim continued her education and received an Associates in Science and Certification as a Medical Lab Technician. She most recently worked for BJC Hospital as a Lab Technician in the Blood Pathology Department. Besides schooling and work, Kim, along with her partner Jen, found a love and a passion for animal rescues. She volunteered at her local animal shelter and rescued numerous dogs over the years.

Kim is survived by her daughters, Madison and Samantha Bock of Edwardsville, IL; her partner, Jennifer Huggins of Edwardsville, IL; her parents, Frank Sr. and Rebecca (nee Weatherly) Kolda; her sisters, Kristina (Eric) Roth of Troy, IL, and Cynthia (Angel Appel) Kolda of Maryville, IL; her brother Frank (Jessica) Kolda of Wentzville, MO; 4 nieces, 4 nephews, and 1 great niece; aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends.
