Kim Neiman

Kim Neiman, age 61, passed away on June 7, 2024. She grew up in Des Plaines before joining the Air Force in 1986. Stationed at Elgin AFB in Florida, she met and married her co-worker John Neiman in 1987. After her tour ended, she settled back in Des Plaines. They had a daughter, Michelle in 1994, and a son, Sean in 2000. Kim was a devoted mother, yet juggled work and family during their upbringing. In 2015, she took on the role of managing the care of her parents, Robert and Patricia Anderson for the next six years. In 2019 she moved to Mount Prospect.

One of her life-long loves was The Cubs. She was there at Wrigley Field in the bleachers at Game 5 of the 2016 playoffs against The Dodgers. There she witnessed The Cubs win the game that took them into The World Series. For 20 minutes, she stood at the back of the bleachers and marveled at the celebration of thousands below her.

She always had a soft spot for animals and took in numerous stray cats and dogs. In addition there were turtles, guinea pigs, a rabbit, toads and even a tarantula that took residence in her apartment.

Throughout her life she was there for many others in need of helping hand. She will be missed by many.
