Betty Hamby

Mrs. Hamby was my freshman English teacher at Campbell County High School in 1970-71. She honed my grammar skills and introduced me to Charles Dickens. In 2012 I retired from a career in education, after having taught English for 32 years in the Boone County Schools, and I have Mrs. Hamby to thank for giving me such a good start in high school and for nurturing my interest in literature. May God bless her for all she has given to so many young people throughout the years. I pray she is...

I had Mrs. Hamby during my freshman year in High School and I truly loved her for her dedication as a teacher and also she was a joy to be around as a person. 27 years later I still remember all the fond memories I have of her and will still never forget her. God Bless her family during this time. Mrs. Hamby you are home now with your beloved husband whom I also had as a teacher as well and may you both rest in eternal peace, love, and joy in heaven.

It is with great sadness that I have read of the passing of Mrs. Hamby. Her concern for her students, her love of teaching, and her great dedication were examples for all. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Lee Springer Jones and husband, Phil.
