It is with great sadness to report the passing of Ginger McNair Kilby on March 19, 2026. Ginger was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend and leaves 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. She was also a faithful member of Raymond Methodist Church where she was deeply involved in her church community.

Ginger is survived by her daughter, Kate Raffaelle (John), along with their three children, Nick, Drew, and Graham. She is also survived by her son, Scott Kilby (Jodie), along with their two children. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, H.R. Kilby; her mother, Louise McNair; and her father, Alden McNair.

Services were held at Wright and Ferguson in Raymond on Monday, March 23, 2026, followed by a graveside service at the Raymond Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Raymond Methodist Church. Please keep the Kilby family in your prayers.
