Kimberlye R. Halderman (Little) passed on May 9th, 2024 after a long batter with cancer. Kim was born July 9th, 1965 in Lawrence, and attended Lawrence public schools. She was a lifelong Lawrence resident.
Kimberlye worked various jobs in her life. The past 20-plus years were spent at Berry Global. She was the supervisor at the Berry West plant in Lecompton over the printing department. This position was her passion. She would work all hours of the day and night to make sure that everyone was doing their jobs, helping people to advance within the company, and to stay safe. Kim was dedicated to her employees both at work, and personally. Her co-workers were her family. This family is what kept her fighting for the past three years.
Kimberlye is survived by her partner Larry Miskimen of the home, 2 sisters: Naoma McElroy, Bonnye Little-Hadl (George), 2 brothers: Doc and Dorse, all of Lawrence, 2 nieces, Rebecca and Theresa, Larry’s extended family that she also considered hers, and many others.
Kimberlye was preceded in death by her parents, Vernon and Virginia Little, and a brother, Clyde Little.
The family would like to thank her Berry Global family for all of the cards, flowers, love and support they have provided both Kimberlye and Larry during this journey, and now, at this time of loss.
There will not be a service, per Kimberlye’s request. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Larry and family,
I loved Kim – she was always happy an smiling. When we were in high school, she rode my Mom, Wanda (Knapp) Howard’s school bus. Kim found out we were related and would always say “hey, cuz” when seeing her. I am so sad her journey has ended, but know the suffering is over and she is at piece – an probably stirring things up! May your mind remember the wonderful memories and your heart always feel her love. Thinking of you all .. Tammy (Copp) Barta
I am so sorry to hear of Kim’s passing. She worked for me at the Super 8 hotel many years ago, and we had become friends. My heart goes out to you all.
I’m sure sorry for your loss.
I attended Grant Elementary School with Kim, I remember her as a sweet, kind person. Condolences to her Family and Friends.
Kim, you will be greatly missed. I remembered my 1st day at Berry and how you helped to work in different roles at Berry. You are truly a good person with heart. Rest in peace. Prayers for all the family members in this difficult time.
We are so sorry to hear that Kim has passed. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. Both Steve and I worked with Kim over the years, and we have many fond memories of our time knowing her, as well as Naomi and Bonnye.
Larry
