Ly Kim

Ly Kim, 95, of Harrisburg, PA peacefully passed away on March 25, 2026. She was born May 30, 1930 in Kampong Svay, Cambodia. She was a stern and hardworking mother whose strength and determination guided her family through life’s challenges. While she held high standards and valued discipline, she was also a loving and dedicated grandmother who showed her care in quiet, meaningful ways.

She lived a full and vibrant life, journeyed to many countries and was spiritually devoted to Buddhism. She loved being treated to a sweet latte from Starbucks, watching her favorite game shows, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, and watching football any day of the week. She most enjoyed tending to her garden (with Rover by her side) and took great pride in making Cambodian desserts and pastries.

Ly is survived by her 6 children: Hai (Buoy) Cheam, James (Khan) Cheam, Teek (Naysean) Cheam, Cheak (Vany) Cheam, Theng (Heang) Cheam, Soknouv (Nak) Cheam; 22 grandchildren: Huong, Andy (Phung), Tim (Linda), Amay, Monita, Lavy (Amit), Thary (Benjamin), Lalune (Narith), Kha-Gek (Joshua), Theang (Heather), Bun (Cait), Bou (Moritza), Timmy, Lilly (Johnny), Alexis (Daniel), Kha-Ling, Kha-Yu, Britney, Jade, Jasmine, Aaron, Kha-Ping; and 23 great-grandchildren: Alicia, Amylia, Allison, Annabel, William, Nathaniel, Jeremy, Felix, Natalia, Theodore, Simon, Paul, Sovannarith, Maysa, Kylee, Olivia, Madi, Tyler, Jake, Adam, Nick, Kirin and Ronin.

Ly Kim’s legacy lives on in the strength she instilled in her family, the traditions she passed down, and the love she gave so freely. She will be remembered as a woman of resilience, strength, and quiet warmth whose presence will be missed deeply.
