Kim Marie Halliday 1955 - 2007 Kim Marie Halliday passed away December 1st, 2007 at the Moncton Hospital, with her loving family by her side. Daughter of Ralph and Diane Hayden, beloved wife of James Halliday, devoted mother to Lukas (Holly) and Jordan, Kim was also a very dear sister to Kathy Hayden-Maillet (Dave), aunt to nieces, Kaydi and Jennay, and sister of Kirk Hayden. As well, Kim leaves behind her mother-in-law, Mary Halliday; sister-in-law, Joanna Warren (Joey); nephews, Taylor and Ryan; niece, Kelsey; and brother-in-law, John Halliday. Born in Springhill, Nova Scotia on November 12th 1955 and raised in Moncton, Kim was a graduate of Harrison Trimble High School, attended St. Mary's University and received her marketing degree at the New Brunswick Community College (NBCC). Upon graduation, she was the first employee at Magic Mountain Water Park. After a number of successful years as the Park's manager of marketing and operations, Kim moved on to become the Executive Director of the United Way of the Greater Moncton Region of Southeastern New Brunswick. Under her direction, the United Way achieved its first $1 million fundraising goal. Kim then began her own very successful consulting business to non-profit organizations. Some of Kim's proudest career achievements are coordinating a major community special event for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a 1.5 million dollar capital campaign for the Dr. Carson and Marion Murray Community Centre in Springhill, and fundraising with Moncton Headstart. In addition to raising her family and working full-time, Kim put her vivacious personality and many talents to work for her community, from fostering youth sports to sitting on numerous local, regional and national boards and committees, ie The National Board of The Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. In all her endeavors, this wonderful woman endeared herself to her colleagues, became a mentor to many young people, and made countless life-long friends. She helped establish the Ron Smyth Award, given annually to an outstanding NBCC marketing student, in memory of her own mentor at the College. Kim Halliday believed that "life is not a dress rehearsal", and took every opportunity to travel, enjoy fine food, good music, great family and friends, and a hearty laugh. She was always available for a shoulder to cry on, a soothing embrace, a funny quip or bracing words of wisdom, whatever the occasion required. Kim will be greatly missed by all her family friends, and her Ya Ya sisters. As per Kim's wishes, there will be a memorial gathering at the Wesley Memorial United Church 168 Cameron St. Moncton Friday, December 7 at 3pm. In lieu of flowers, her family asks that donations be made to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation "New Oncology Center" Campaign.
