Kimberley Ann Hamby

Kimberley "Kim" Ann Hamby, 62, of Paducah, Kentucky, passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior on Friday, June 12, 2026, at Baptist Health.

Born on April 19, 1964, in Hondo, Texas, Kim lived a life defined by hard work, creativity, and devotion to those she loved. Throughout her career, she worked in many fields, including as a housekeeper, school bus driver, retail associate, and for several years as a semi-truck driver. No matter where life took her, she approached each role with determination and resilience.

Kim was a talented crafter and writer who found joy in creating beautiful things, particularly through cross-stitch, jewelry making, and poetry. She also loved to draw and sketch. More than any hobby or profession, however, she cherished her family. She took great pride in being there for those she loved and found her greatest happiness in the time she spent with them.

.

She was preceded in death by her father, Doug Tabor; mother, Gailya Tabor; sister, Mandie Robinson; infant son; Jose Roberto Gonzales Hamby; and infant daughter; Angelina Rene Gonzales Hamby.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving daughter, Jessica Orange (Michael) of Lola, Kentucky; sister, Vickie Thompson (Kyle) of Hanson, Kentucky; granddaughters, Kaitlyn Wood and Leah Orange; grandson, Dale Orange; one nephew; three nieces; several great-nieces and great-nephews, and many treasured friends.

Kim's spirited sense of humor, kindness, and unwavering love for her family will be remembered always by those who love her. The love and light she shared with those she knew will remain in their hearts until they join her in eternity.

Memorial visitation will be Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 12:00 Noon until 2:00 pm at Gilbert Funeral Home. Memorial services will follow at 2:00 pm at the funeral home.
