Jean Stith Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Stith Funeral Homes - Florence on Mar. 17, 2026.
Jean Ann Stith, 87, of The Villages, Florida, formerly of Union, Kentucky, passed away on Sunday, March 15, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family, with her son and daughter holding her hands.

Jean Ann lived life with a joyful and outgoing spirit. She loved being around people and cherished the many friendships she made throughout her life. Whether she was painting, playing the piano, or enjoying a round of golf, Jean Ann found happiness in the moments that brought beauty, laughter, and connection. Above all, her family was her greatest joy, and the time she spent with them will be treasured forever.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husbands, Donald Stith and Samuel Branham.

Jean Ann leaves behind her loving son and daughter, Doug Stith (Kim) and Lisa Espich (Earl); her cherished grandchildren, Brett Stith (Karie), Austin Stith (Krista), Cole Burch (Callie), Chad Burch, and Cameron Stith; and her treasured great-grandchildren, Ava Grace Quinn, Presley Rose Stith, Noah William Stith, and Theodore Cole Burch, who brought her immense pride and happiness. She also leaves behind her faithful and beloved comfort companion, Bailey, who she loved dearly.

A visitation will be held on Friday, March 20, 2026, from 10:00 AM until the time of the Funeral Service at 12:00 Noon at Stith Funeral Home, 7500 U.S. Highway 42, Florence, Kentucky 41042. Burial will be private at Highland Cemetery in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Jean Ann's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the Arthritis Foundation.
