Janet Kay Vickery

Janet Kay Vickery, age 72, passed away on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at the Murray-Calloway County Hospital.

She was born on September 2, 1953, to Fred Brown and Bonnie Ledbetter. Janet dedicated 27 years of her life as a Certified Nurse Aide at Spring Creek Health Care, where she faithfully cared for her residents and formed many meaningful relationships.

Janet loved taking country cruises, spending quiet afternoons exploring old cemeteries, and—above all—cherished time with her family. She was happiest when bringing her loved ones together, and she especially enjoyed gathering around the table to play cards with them.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, George Michael Vickery; and her sister, Sue Pater.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Aaron Scott Vickery (Tracy) of Clarksville, Tennessee, and Kenneth Ray “Dude” Vickery of Paducah, Kentucky; her daughters, Tonya McIntosh of Murray, Kentucky, Tracey Hale (Stanley) of Kirksey, Kentucky, and Kelley Carroll (Steven) of Murray, Kentucky; her brother, Donald Brown (Pam) of Kansas City, Missouri; and her sisters, Carolyn Anderson of Topeka, Kansas, and Patty Long (Tom) of Hoyt, Kansas. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Tristan Vickery, Sharanda Wyatt, Brad Jacobs, Brooklyn Martin, Elizabeth Vickery, Jacob Vickery, Zachariah Vickery, Roger McIntosh, Emily McIntosh, Brian Hale, Kaylynn Hale, Autumn Rogers, and Erica Garner; as well as 21 great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to her life.

A private family burial will take place at Asbury Cemetery.

Imes Funeral Home is entrusted with caring for her family.
