Kimberly Ann Praniewicz

Kimberly Ann Praniewicz, “Kim” and to John “Kimmie”, a beloved friend of the Orlando and Ft. Pirce, Florida communities, earned her heavenly wings and went to be with her parents, Paul and Barbara Gribble, as well as her cherished cats, Minnie, Bear, TK, Shoobee, and Geronimo on April 29, 2026. She was surrounded by her husband, John and close friends. She is remembered as someone who listened fully, cared deeply, and always found a way to make others feel valued, by making them see their potential.

She was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on March 20, 1961, and grew up in Pittsburgh Pa. She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. After making Florida her new home, she started in customer service / marketing with Sun Bank. Media Authority Inc was a business she started that promoted media for the Entertainment Industry. Her career then expanded to Goodwill, Paving the Way, Marriott, Starwood, SKAL, Orlando After School All Stars, and many others. Her colleagues remember her as a connector, someone who built bridges, fostered relationships, and elevated all she touched.

She is survived by her beloved husband, John Praniewicz, who will carry her memory forward with love and devotion. Please join us for her celebration of life which will be held May 9, with visitation 11:00 am-1:00 pm, service and interment 1:00 pm-3:00 pm and reception 3:00 pm-5:00 pm. All services are held at Aycock Funeral Home & Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, 6026 North US Highway 1, Fort Pierce, FL 34946.

May her memory be a blessing and a lasting reminder of the power of a life lived with compassion, generosity, and grace.
