Aimee Jeanne Troup (née Stonebridge), 45, of Williamsburg, Virginia, passed away peacefully at home on January 4, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.
Aimee was born on October 17, 1980, in Richfield, Wisconsin, and moved to Williamsburg in 2003, where she built a life filled with connection and care for others. She was known for her kindness, light, and joy; described by friends as a beautiful soul who brought sunshine, optimism, and laughter wherever she went. Sweet, supportive, and genuinely funny, Aimee had a way of making people feel seen and comforted, often with a soft smile, a shared laugh, and an “oh jeez”.
Many came to know Aimee as the kindest bartender at Berret’s Restaurant where she had a way of making everyone feel welcome, remembered, and at home. Above all, Aimee loved her family and friends fiercely and found joy in life’s quiet comforts—books, puzzles, and a good cup of coffee.
Aimee is survived by her beloved husband, Will Troup, and her cherished daughter, Laurel. She is also survived by her parents, James W. Stonebridge and Kathryn Jean Stonebridge (née Haig); her brothers, James A. Stonebridge (Brigid) of Park Ridge, Illinois, Christopher D. Stonebridge (Trisha) of Richfield, Wisconsin, and Michael A. Stonebridge of Richfield, Wisconsin; her in-laws, Bill and Susan Troup; and her brother-in-law, Chris Troup (Gergana Petrova). She is also lovingly remembered by her nieces and nephews: Will, Bridie, John-Michael, Kendall, Ava, Adleigh, and Anna, along with countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a local charitable hospice organization, such as the Williamsburg House of Mercy.
