Fairview ~ Mildred “Mickey” Plemmons Camby, 88, of Fairview, passed away Sunday, May 15, 2022.

A native of Buncombe County, she was a daughter of the late Burder and Sallie Smith Plemmons. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Lee Camby Jr.; siblings Mabel Morgan, Virginia Corn, Harold Plemmons, son in law, John Thomas and her dog, Max.

Mickey was a graduate of Lee H. Edwards High School and enjoyed a very adventurous young life. She was extremely athletic, loved roller skating and was a member of a dance roller skate team. If you were fortunate to have met her or be loved by her, you can consider yourself a lucky person. She was a truly caring, loving and a wonderful mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. To say that she will be missed by all is an understatement.

Mickey was a devout Christian and her love of God was evident. Her children saw Mickey as one of the most positive and happy individuals that you could ever meet. She was full of joy, had an incredible laugh, always up for anything, and enjoyed going out and having fun. She loved with all of her heart and never met a stranger. She was truly one of a kind and was loved by all who had the pleasure to be around her.

She is survived by her son, Chad Lee Camby (his wife Donna), her daughter, Michelle Simmons (her husband Daniel), seven grandchildren, Nina Camby (her husband Matthew Beaver), John Thomas, Jared Thomas, Madison Simmons, Jared Kay (his wife Sonia), Emily Freck (her husband Billy), and Justin Kay as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and great grandchildren.

A Graveside Service to celebrate her life will be held at 2:00 PM on Friday, May 20 at Ashelawn Gardens of Memory. Her family will greet friends from 12:00 until 1:00 PM on Friday in the Chapel of Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to either Ecclesia Baptist Church (of which she was a faithful member), PO Box 2365 Fairview, NC 28730 or to the Asheville Humane Society, 14 Forever Friend Lane, Asheville NC 28806.

Now Carol and Mickey can visit together in Heaven.
