Kimberly Ann Frisella

Kimberly Ann Frisella (Doran), 53, of Narragansett, RI passed away Thursday, November 23rd, 2023. She was the beloved mother of Ryan Frisella and Jordan Frisella, and former wife of Frank A. Frisella. Born and raised in South Kingstown, RI, Kim was the daughter of Douglas Doran and Roberta Winter.

Kim grew up in South Kingstown and Narragansett, and treasured her memories from living in Hawaii during her younger years. She graduated from South Kingstown High School, and worked for the South County Independent, Buckley Heating & Co, and MetLife during her early career.

Kim loved crafts and nature decorations, just ask her kids when she would drag them to the woods to get stuff for garland and wreaths…and always had an open invite for anyone who wanted to join. She was an incredible cook, loved to dance, and loved learning new things.

Some of her favorite joys were waking up before the sunrise, reading a great book, playing with animals, barefoot walks down to the river, and enjoying a good belly laugh. Her favorite times of the year were Christmas Eve at Gran’s house, and holiday brunches with the family at Jackie & Dan’s.

Kim is survived by her children, Ryan & Jordan, and her parents, Douglas and Roberta. She is also survived by her grandmother, Mary Norman, her great-Aunt Margie, her siblings, Kyle, Kaley, and Jessica, 5 nieces & nephews, and her Aunt Lisa. She also leaves behind her grand-dogs, Teller and Charlie Chip, who miss her dearly.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 8th from 4-6pm, with a closing prayer at 6 pm in Avery-Storti Funeral Home, 88 Columbia St., Wakefield, RI. In lieu of flowers, our family is raising money to cover the costs of the memorial services. Donations can be made to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/kim-frisellas-sendoff. Any excess money will be donated to the Johnnycake Center of Wakefield, RI.

We love you, Mom.
