Kim Suzanne Kadolph

Kim Suzanne Kadolph passed on July 11, 2026, at the age of 57, and was a resident of Stickney, Illinois. Kim was born in Chicago on December 31, 1968, to her parents Enrique Sainz and Linda Risley [nee Nichols].

Kim is survived by her loving husband Robert Kadolph, her father, Rick (stepmother Rose) Sainz, her mother, Linda Risley, her siblings Thomas (Trinette) Risley, William (Brenda) Risley, Lisa (Mark) Warunek, Patty (Daniel) Van Dixhorn, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Kim was beautiful soul who fought many years with Lupus. Despite her illness she was a source of light and warmth to those around her and lived a life full of joy. Though her friends and family will miss her deeply, Kim has left the world a little brighter than she originally found it. Kim selflessly registered as an organ donor with Illinois Gift of Hope. There is tremendous sorrow in her unexpected passing but also some small peace in knowing that she is able to live on with this final gift.
