Kimberley Deann Clayton, age 54, of Corsicana, Texas, passed away on July 29, 2026, surrounded by her deep faith and the love of her family.

If you knew Kim, you laughed. She was a delightfully silly soul who found great pleasure in making her friends, family, and even total strangers laugh out loud. Born on September 2, 1971, in Odessa, Texas, Kim was a wonderful daughter, a loving sister, and a beautiful friend to many. Throughout her life, she worked several jobs, but her true passion was giving back to her community. She found her true calling as a dedicated drug and rehabilitation caregiver, selflessly helping others find their way to recovery.

Next to her love for sports, Kim loved Jesus above all else. She actively shared her Savior with anyone who would listen—and occasionally with some who didn't. Her vibrant spirit, humor, and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on everyone she met.

Kim is survived by her mother, Linda Boruff (husband Jerry); her dad, Danny Clayton (wife Sharon); her sister, Tonya Sides (husband Billy); her brother, Jimmy Clayton (wife Pam); her brother, John Baucom (wife Patty); and several precious nieces and nephews, alongside a large, loving community of friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Kim's honor to support the causes she championed: In His Hands Ministries of Texas in Baytown, Texas, and the New Creation Foundation in Tyler, Texas.

Kim will be remembered for years to come for the immense joy she brought to the lives of everyone she knew.
