of Conway, AR
May 16, 1967 - February 17, 2026
Kimberly Ann (Belt) Pruett was born on May 16, 1967, in Herrin, Illinois, to John and Yvonne Belt. She shared a special lifelong bond with her sister, Kathy Tilton. From the very beginning, Kimberly carried strength and compassion that would come to define her life. She graduated from Conway High School in 1985 and continued her education at the University of Central Arkansas, where she earned her Master's degree in Special Education, a calling that perfectly matched her generous heart.
On September 24, 1988, Kimberly married the love of her life, James Pruett. Together, they built a life rooted in devotion, laughter, and unwavering support. She was a proud and loving mother to Taylor Pruett-Dale and Harrison Reed Pruett, and her joy only deepened when she became Nana to Weston and Carson.
For 25 years, Kimberly dedicated herself to teaching special education. She did more than teach; she believed in her students when they struggled to believe in themselves. She celebrated every milestone, no matter how small, and offered patience, dignity, and fierce advocacy to each child who walked into her classroom. The lives she touched extend far beyond the walls of any school building.
Above all, Kimberly was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, daughter, and friend. She loved deeply, gave freely, and left an imprint on countless hearts. Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished, the students she championed, and the many lives made better simply because she was part of them.
Kimberly was preceded in death by her father, John Belt. She leaves behind her devoted husband, James Pruett; her loving mother, Yvonne Belt; and her sister, Kathy Tilton (Randall). She is also survived by her two children, Taylor Pruett-Dale (Kelsey) and Harrison Reed Pruett (Emily), and her cherished grandchildren, Weston and Carson Pruett-Dale.

I was looking for someone else and came across Kim. I am so sad. I worked with her in NLR for several years and loved her. She had such a sweet nature. We shared many laughs. I had not seen her in years but ran into her at Lowe’s two or three years ago. We talked like we still worked together.

I had the pleasure of knowing Kim while she taught school at the Junior High. She was always so sweet and pleasant. She loved her school kiddos and always had a smile on her face when we ran into each other. She will be missed.

I worked with Kim during her year in NLRSD. She was always a joy to work with and always worked well with staff, parents and, of course, her students. As her Special Ed Supervisor, we worked on challenges that developed often and she never failed to deliver her best. She often volunteered to go above and beyond expectations or extra necessary requirements. I missed her when she left to teach in Conway but understood her need to stay close to home for her kids. She was a beautiful friend. Blessings and love for her family.

Though I did not know Mrs. Kim long, the time we shared left a lasting impression on me. She was a true lady, full of grace, kindness, and a joyful laugh I will never forget. Her love for her family was clear and unwavering. I know her absence will leave a deep void that will echo loudly and shake your foundations at times, but I hope you find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. She was a good and faithful servant, now called home. May peace surround you in the days to come.
