Kristen Lee Raby

Kristen Lee Raby, a loving and caring individual has bid farewell to this world on February16, 2024. She was born on March 1, 1984, in Memphis, TN, and journey reached its peaceful end in Southaven, MS. Kristen leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will forever echo in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Kristen's life was filled with meaningful connections and cherished moments. She graduated from Southaven High School in 2004 and went on to touch the lives of many as she worked at Ambassador Bakery on Stateline Road in Southaven. Her dedication extended beyond her professional life as she wholeheartedly cared for her aunt Carolyn for two years.

Her warm personality shone through every interaction, earning her a reputation for being loving, sweet, and remarkably caring. Kristen held a special bond with her family and took immense pride in her role as a mother to her sons, Landon and Brandon. Her love for her children was unparalleled, shaping some of her proudest accomplishments.

In the realm of hobbies and interests, Kristen found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had an affinity for horses and dogs, finding solace in their loyal companionship. Dancing to music brought out the vibrancy within her soul, while playing with her niece Chloe added an extra sparkle to her days.

Among the memories that will be treasured eternally is Kristen sharing "Be-bop" as her and her Daddy's song—a melody that encapsulates the bond they shared throughout the years. Her vivacious spirit resonated in every step she took and every heart she touched.
