Kimberly Mariah Oliver
Kimberly “Mariah” Oliver, 24, of Henrico, Virginia journeyed to her heavenly home on January 17, 2021.
Mariah had enormous compassion for all animals (“let’s get another new pet”, “we can rescue”, “we can help”) and an unending love for kiddos ~ her 💗 beat! She enjoyed reading a good adventure or a suspenseful mystery and discovered the gift of writing for herself. She so loved long drives to the beach, country, and mountains, horseback riding, creating art, Mom’s flowering plants in the kitchen window, and millions more.
Mariah is survived by parents, Billy & Kim; Nanny, Elsie; sister, Megan (Andrew); brother, John; nieces and nephew, B, Iz, Emma, and JD; aunt & uncle, Allen & Susan; godmother, Martha; and a host of family and friends.
Every day, every place, every thought is connected to you Mariah, our beautiful girl!
Like shimmering sunlight dancing from the sky you pierced our hearts with your rays, captivating us, and giving joy to everyone you touched.
We will forever remember your dimpled smile, twinkling eyes, and cuddly hugs (“give me some love”, “I love you!”).
“Lord,
Thank you for waking me up today. Thank you for the life you have blessed me with. I pray for all my loved ones, that you keep them safe. I want my relationship with you & others to be whole and pure. Thank you for allowing today to be beautiful. I know you have a plan & I trust you. Thank you for always being by my side. I ask for your forgiveness for my sins. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!
Love,
Mariah”
A private family celebration will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, Mariah’s family welcomes donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. stjude.org/donate
The family encourages all who lovingly knew Mariah to share a special memory below in celebration of her life.
Mariah Oliver was a very dear friend of mine. She was a beam of light and always full of laughter and always found a way to make me laugh! I always believed in Mariah and know that she had the potential to do wonderful things in life. She will forever be missed. I love you Mariah always.
I’ve known her since middle school she was always a sweet girl and always had a smile on her face fly high maraiah your still here in spirit and in our hearts love you!
I know mariah lived her life to the fullest and loved everyone in it. Especially her loving family who loved me as well for many many years.. I feel so deeply for everyone. She is at peace and will forever be in my heart. I will never forget our childhood memories all the way into our adult life.. such a beautiful soul.
Mariah was always the most loving, welcoming, and understanding person I had ever met. She had the biggest heart and would do and give her last anything to someone who needed it. She left an impression on everyone she met and my whole family loved her like she was a sister or another family member. Thanks Mariah for being my first friend, Rest In Peace you beautiful soul. 🖤💫
Mariah was a beautiful person inside and out and will truly be missed. She was so funny and we laughed so much together. I will remember and lover her always. My prayers go to her family and friends. She will always be our angel and look out for us..i know!
Boobie….the sun won’t shine as bright now that you’re gone… but I know deep down that you’re free now. Mariah was as close as they come to being an actual perfect human being. She was Absolutely beautiful inside & out. She was hilarious, smart, had a huge personality and sense of humor ,which was my favorite part about her. But most of all she was kind. She was kind to strangers, she was kind to animals, Her loved ones and even people that might not have been very kind to her. She was/is that one person you meet once every 20 years that cares about her friends and family more than she cares about herself and expressed that every day. I am now sure she is here with us watching down on all of us smiling and laughing like always. My angel & my best friend forever<3
Mariah , this doesn’t feel real … you will be missed beautiful girl . I miss you so much already <3 Rest In Peace babe .
I love you Rah Rah. Your soul is at peace no babygirl. And your forever safe. I will never forget you. Ill never forget the sweet, beautiful, loving person you are. My heart is broken. But sweetheart your free. Shine your light bright in the sky and continue to light up our lives like you always have. Visit Jordan in his dreams. He loved his Rah Rah and your feet for some reason. Lol remember he always wanted to cuddle your feet! And i have pictures still! Im glad i have that. And the pictures at Brian park. I miss you. And i really wish it was different. Rest peacefully Rah Rah.
💜💜 Always on my mind, Forever in my heart 💜💜

I’ve known Mariah since elementary school and even though we were never really close friends, she was always nice to everyone she met. I’m sorry to hear that she’s gone i just hope she’s resting easy..
My heart goes out to her family and everyone she was close to. Mariah was an absolutely beautiful soul. She was kind, caring, had a huge heart.. I have no doubt that her spirit is living on in paradise and that she was greeted by Jesus with open arms. I know we will meet again one day. Hold the memories close and never stop talking about her. Look for signs always, spirit is there for those who listen. Love you sweet girl. I will never ever forget you! 💔
Sending a big hug to her family and loved ones.
Oh sweet girl, You’re free now💜 I will forever hold on to our memories we had back in the day. I wish we could have stayed in contact. I remember us sitting downstairs at your parents house & you talked me into letting you pierce my nose which was the worst idea I think we’ve ever had! Watch over everybody girl! God gained the most beautiful angel 😇
Mariah Oliver is a sweet sexy hot girl and my best friend I’ve ever known she gave me love she will be missed
Will be missed dearly , was like another daughter to me for many years . Now you are with my mom and i hope she takes you in her arms and hugs you like i use too !
I’ll never know why god has taken so many people from us in the past 2 months, But I’ll always remember Mariah as a free spirt she was always down for an adventure or just a chill ass day back when we used to hang. I got her, her first job freaking subway we had a love hate relationship for real we were either arguing about something one minute and joking and having a drink the next I’ll hold on to the memories forever. I hate that we all lost contact but at the end of the day I pretty much separated myself from everybody when I had kids. And I’m sorry we lost touch my heart goes out to Kim and Billy I can’t imagine what y’all are going through. But your in my prayers. fly high Mariah until we meet again.

I can’t believe Mariah is actually gone! There was a time when we were super close, did almost everything together and had a blast! She had a beautiful soul and no one could ever come close to having the compassion she had, especially for animals. My thoughts and prayers are with her family through this unimaginable time. At least ur at peace now baby girl! Until we meet again 😔
Mariah was a gentle and kind person. She would do what she could for anyone. I spent several years with her as my son, Jacob Cottrill, was her boyfriend. We will miss you and keep your family in my thoughts and prayers always. RIP Mariah. You will be truly missed
I feel so bad not knowing that you were gone until now but i hope you see how much everybody loves & care for you we went to moody together & we shared to fun amazing times you always had a bright beautiful smile on you baby girl just know your soul is free & your journey continues xoxo
my sweet Kimoli.. i miss you more than words can explain. you brought so much light not only into my life, but my family as well. i am extremely blessed that you were in my life because you changed it for the better. you taught me so much like how to find the positives in every situation and what a real friend is. you were my best friend and no one will ever be able to take the place that you have in my heart. “its a lock” like you always told me. i love you.. always & forever
