With broken hearts, we announce the passing of our precious baby girl, Kallyope Esmayle Eloise Widger, who left this world far too soon on October 9, 2025 in Three Rivers, at just six weeks old. She was born on August 23, 2025 in Kalamazoo, a daughter to Imogen Merrian-Widger and David Waller and in her short time with us, she brought a lifetime of love, light, and unforgettable moments.
Kallyope was a gentle soul with a calm spirit, rarely crying and always eager to be held close by her mama. She found comfort in warm blankets, her favorite lovie, and the soft melodies sung just for her. Her tiny thumb was her constant companion, and her peaceful cuddles were her greatest gift to those lucky enough to hold her. Her bright eyes lit up during bath time, and she adored giving mama hugs—those quiet, tender embraces that spoke volumes.
Though her time here was brief, her personality shone brightly. She had a spark of sass and attitude, especially when teasing her uncles, and she knew exactly how to express herself without saying a word. She was especially fond of cheek and nose kisses from her mama and cherished every moment she spent watching Looney Tunes and playing with her big brother.
Kallyope is deeply loved and will forever be missed by her mother, Imogen Merriam-Widger and David Waller; her siblings, Ollyver Widger, Za’Riyah McCoy, Adaleigh Waller, and Tayvree Neddo; her grandparents, especially her devoted grandmother Jamie Widger; her aunt Zenadee Rooks and uncle Bryce Widger; and so many more family members whose lives she touched in her brief but beautiful time here.
Though we only held her in our arms for a moment, we will hold her in our hearts forever.
Cremation has taken place and not services are scheduled at this time. Ray Funeral Services, 305 Rock River Ave., Three Rivers, MI 49093, 269-278-1515.
