Kimberlie Schors-Robitaille passed away peacefully on March 9, 2026, surrounded by the family she loved most in the world.

She is survived by her husband of 45 years, James Robitaille of Chaplin, CT, and her three daughters, Sierra Robitaille of Stafford Springs, Melody Robitaille of Chaplin, and Sky Robitaille of Vernon. Kimberlie was also a proud grandmother to Jasmyn, Angel, James, Alaina, Logan, and Chase, who were some of her greatest joys and favorite sources of stories and laughter.

Kimberlie shared a deep and lasting love with her husband James. Over 45 years of marriage, they moved through every season of life together raising their daughters, creating a life filled with family and memories, and supporting one another through both joyful and challenging times. He was her partner, her constant, and someone she truly cherished.

She was predeceased by her mother Helen (Stevenson) Schors, her father Raymond Schors, and her brother Lance Schors. Kimberlie was adopted and later in life had the special experience of reconnecting with many of her biological half-siblings, as well as many nieces and nephews who became an important part of her extended family.

Kimberlie loved three things above all else: her family, her cats, and a good treasure to add to one of her collections. She had a special love for Native American jewelry and porcelain dolls, and she never passed up the chance to go shopping for something unique to add to her collection. Later in life, when getting out became harder, she simply brought the shops to her bedroom through eBay. Despite frequently insisting she was “terrible with technology,” she somehow managed to master online shopping well enough to keep the packages arriving regularly.

A true free spirit, Kimberlie had an unmistakable style and presence. Flowing skirts, layers of turquoise jewelry, and a personality that could start a conversation with absolutely anyone were her trademarks. She had a way of turning quick chats into friendships and strangers into people who felt like they had known her forever.

Kimberlie lived life very much in her own way, with curiosity, humor, and a little bit of stubborn determination. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and anyone lucky enough to have shared a conversation with her. While the world will certainly feel quieter without her, her style and spirit will live on in the memories of everyone who loved her.

A church service will be held for close friends and family on April 25, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at First Church of Mansfield, 549 Storrs Rd Mansfield Center.

A Celebration of Life, open to anyone who knew Kimberlie, will follow at 1:00 p.m. at the Franco-American Club, 116 Club Rd. Windham.

All who knew Kimberlie are warmly invited to come share stories, laughter, and memories of a woman who never met a stranger and always did life in her own colorful way.
