Kimberly E. Pieranunzi

40, of Woonsocket, tragically passed away on Monday, November 3, 2025. Kimberly was a vibrant soul, known for her genuine kindness and her unwavering commitment to family and friends. Her life was marked by a passion for learning and a deep love for her daughter, Jazmyn Roderick, whom she cherished above all else.

Kimberly spent her days embracing life’s adventures. She relished traveling and loved trips to the beach, finding joy in watching storms and celebrating the holidays surrounded by those she loved. As a nursing student at the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI), Kimberly was dedicated to her future as a caregiver and was set to graduate from the LPN to RN program in December. Her desire to help others characterized much of her life, and she was a source of inspiration to many around her.

Kimberly was deeply connected to her family, being a beloved sister to Alicia Murphy, Tracy Murphy, Michaela Murphy, Jessen Arsenault, Kendra Costa, Haley Murphy, Vincent Arsenault, and Michael Murphy Jr. She was the daughter of Laurie Musco Murphy and the stepdaughter of Michael Murphy Sr., who was like a father to her. Additionally, she leaves behind her treasured nephews, Michael Knowles III, and Noah Brown, among many other nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, aunts, and uncles who will miss her dearly.

She was predeceased by her brother, Kenneth Verry III, and her lifelong partner, Donald Roderick Jr., who also tragically passed away alongside Kimberly. Their loss has left a profound impact on those who knew and loved them.
