Kimberly Michele Needham

Kimberly Michele Needham, known by family and friends as Kim or Kimmy, entered eternal
rest on October 6, 2024, at the age of 50. Kim was born on June 22, 1974, in Suffern, NY, and
traveled with her family at the age of four to Ocala, Florida, where she resided for 46 years.
During that time, she served as a medic in the U.S. Army and held leadership positions in finance
throughout her city. She garnered a life full of love, care, and community.
Kim was smart, protective, and held a sense of leadership from an early age. She was a natural
caregiver and was proud to support the ones she loved most. Kim valued and reflected true hard
work as she built a home and life for herself and her daughter. She reached every goal she had set
and continued to push further. Kim was fierce, brave, beautiful, courageous, and had a smile that
sent warmth into every soul she encountered. Kim knew no acquaintances, only friends.
Kim's memory is cherished through her father, Frank Ofeldt, daughter, Skylar Fort (Cody),
devoted husband, William (Bumpy) Needham, brothers, Carcine Meadows (Sheila) and Frank
Ofeldt III (Samantha), and mother and father in love, Frankie and Paul Lesocky. She reunites in
heaven with her mother, Frances Ofeldt. She will forever be a hero to those who knew her for her
strength and determination. Kim will be loved always and remembered forever as her spirit
carries on through her loved ones.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, October 12th from 10-11 am with a Celebration of Life at 11:00 am at Roberts of Ocala Funeral Home West Chapel; 6241 SW State Road 200 Ocala, FL 34476
