Kimberly Pillischafske Obituary
Kimberly C. Pillischafske
October 5, 1976 - June 4, 2024
Kimberly (Kimmie) Colleen Deck Pillischafske, born October 5, 1976, went to be with the Lord on June 4, 2024, after a three-and-a-half-year battle with metastatic breast cancer. She fought so bravely and courageously, fortified by her faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Kimmie leaves behind her husband, Eric Pillischafske; children: Austin, Alex and Adam; brother, Brian (Liza) Deck, Jason (Sherry) Birkenbeil; and sister, Michelle (Bruce) Brucker; dad, Jerry Birkenbeil; mother-in-law, Kim Pillischafske; and father-in-law, Keith Pillischafske; sisters-in-law: Kelly (Troy) Schaudt and Christine (Jake) Collins; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends who felt like family. She was preceded in death by her father, James "Jimmy" Deck; and mother, Sharon (Johnson) Birkenbeil.
Kimmie was a dental hygienist for 27 years working for Anderson Dental for 18 years. She loved her job, coworkers, and patients like family. She enjoyed traveling, hiking, sitting on a beach, going to sports events and concerts but what she loved most was being with family and friends. She had the ability to light up a room with her smile and beautiful bright blue eyes. Her faith was foundational to all she was.
We will celebrate her with a visitation from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Friday, June 7, 2024, and celebration of life on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. both at Windsor Road Christian Church.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made for a dental hygiene scholarship fund in her honor.
Gifts can be made by check to Parkland College Foundation, c/o Kimmie Pillischafske Dental Hygiene Scholarship.

My deepest sympathy to Kim´s family. I grew up in the Chatsworth area, worked with Kim as a lifeguard at CAPS pool, played basketball ball together at Prairie Central, she would give me rides home from practice before I had my Drivers license. I feel very blessed to have these memories of her, may you all hold tight to the good memories that keep her alive in your lives. Praying for all of you ! T. Anne ( Rudin) Wiegand

I knew Kim as a patient at my job. She was one of the kindest women I have ever meet. She did literally light up the room, even when she was not physically at her best. As a Christian I prayed the Lord would bring her healing here. He choose a different path and although I am very sad, I know she is with her Lord. I will continue to pray for her precious family and friends as they mourn and grieve her loss.
