Ginger McNair Kilby, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, surrounded by her children and the collective love of all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and kindness that will be cherished forever.

Ginger dedicated many years of her life to education, serving most recently as a teacher at Raymond High School. She was passionate about her students and took pride in inspiring young minds, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives through her patience, wisdom, and encouragement.
