Beth Little Bormann, retired Assistant City Manager for the City of Carrollton, passed away May 6, 2020 in a Dallas hospital. She was born September 5, 1956 in Palm Beach County, Florida to the late Francis P and Virginia P Little. Being a military kid, Beth was fortunate to travel and lived in many cities and countries, including Palm Beach, Florida, Holland, England, Clovis, NM and others.
Beth earned her Bachelors of University Studies degree in 1977 and continued to obtain her Master of Library Science degree from Texas Woman’s University. She lived a life of service to others, as evidenced from her life history: from 1987 to 2013, Beth was the Director of Library Services, and the Assistant City Manager for the City of Carrollton.
Never one to be idle, Beth dedicated her next several years to the American Red Cross and other worthwhile charities, including Stable Strides Farm, Metrocrest Social Services Center Board, Texas Municipal League Board of Directors, Public Library Administrators of North Texas, Texas Municipal Library Association, Texas Library Association, and others. Her love of people and passion for her work was obvious in the many awards and accolades she received, including the 2015 President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for her work with the American Red Cross; the 1998 Linda Keithley Award for Women in Public Management; the 1995 Library Leadership Award; the 1990 City of Carrollton Excellence in Service Award, being named the 1987 Outstanding Young Librarian of the Year, and so many others.
A service to celebrate Beth’s amazing life will be announced at a later date.
She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Clifton (Cliff) Bormann of Carrollton, brother: Gordon Little and wife Sandy, of Lakewood, CO; step-daughter: Drue Bormann of New York, numerous nieces and nephews, and friends the world over that will miss her knowledge, friendship and humor. She also leaves in Cliff’s capable care, their 2 fur-babies, Zeva and Augie.
