WATERVILLE – Kierra “Kia” Ann Lint, 25, of Waterville, a devoted daughter, sister, and friend, passed away Sunday, March 19, 2023.

Kia was born to George Lint II and Jessica Lint on June 12, 1997, in Waterville. She spent her childhood making memories with brothers Aaron Lint and Zack Costello, and sisters Rylee Lint and Bayleigh Gorman.

She was a graduate of Waterville Senior High School in 2016. Kia treasured the coastline, exploring many beaches in Maine and Puerto Rico. She would often recount gathering seashells she found walking the shoreline. Kia spent most of her childhood summers on Maine beaches with her family and friends.

Aside from gathering seashells, Kia had a passion for creating art; she drew, painted, and made glass mosaics. She found peace and happiness visiting our country’s great national parks: the Great Sand Dunes, the Grand Canyon, the Arches, the Rocky Mountains, and Carlsbad Caverns, to name a few. Kia traveled coast to coast, spending time in Puerto Rico and New York. She loved the endless sounds of the city.

Kia enjoyed working as a DSP at Skills Inc., assisting individuals with intellectual disabilities. She always tried to make the next person’s job easier, often going above and beyond expectations with her tasks. She had a creative, thoughtful, and passionate personality. She was known for her ability to make people smile, and for her contagious laugh. She touched many lives with her generosity and loyalty.

Kia was predeceased by her paternal great-grandparents Robert and Shirley Sylvia; as well as godfather, Marc Lizotte.

Kia is survived by her father, George Lint II, and mother, Jessica Lint; siblings Aaron Lint, Zack Costello, Rylee Lint, Madisyn Trotter, and Bayleigh Gorman; sister-in-law, Jessie Lint; nieces Lilah Costello and Murphy Lint; biological mother, Angel Trotter; grandparents George and Kelly Lint, and Cindy and James Shaw; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and co-workers.
