Melissa M. Kidd

Melissa (Missy) Marie Kidd (nee Masden) was born on July 14, 1969, and passed away at the age of 56 on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood, KY.

She was a loving mother to Cheyenne Nicole Kidd and the late James Lee Harris (2022), a bonus mother to Kim Cook, and a stepmother to Leah Kottmeyer. Missy was the cherished daughter of Wanda Lee Sucher (James Sucher, 2016) and Larry Masden (2014). She was a devoted grandmother to Masden Kidd and Jagger Harris, as well as a loving girlfriend to Jeff Sibert. Missy was also the beloved stepdaughter of Karen (Wolfe) Masden and a dear sister to Kirby Masden, Karen (Masden) Landrum, Tonja (Masden) Fariello, Deron Masden, Christopher Masden (Nikki), Rebecca (Masden) Vaughn (Ty), and Charles Masden (Chelsea), Terri Rinear (Jim 2022), and Michael Sucher (Mindy). She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

A graduate of Notre Dame Academy (1987), Missy worked as a dedicated Licensed Massage Therapist for over 30 years. Her life, although marked by joy and challenges—especially following the loss of her son—radiated kindness and compassion. For everyone fortunate enough to know her, she was a beautiful, loving soul whose contagious smile and immense heart touched many lives. She found fulfillment in helping others, and her generous love and kindness will forever inspire those who remember her.
