Princess "Kay" Durham, 67, of Little Rock, Arkansas, gained her heavenly wings on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock after a long illness. She was born on September 13, 1957, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to Buster and Nellie Cottrell Mooney.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers-in-law, Jesse Durham and Jesse Cooper.

On February 11, 1975, Kay married her soulmate, Claiborne "Clay" Durham, and together they built a beautiful life in Little Rock, Arkansas. Their union was blessed with one son, Clayborn Christopher Durham, who became the joy of Kay's heart.

Family was of the utmost importance to Kay, and she cherished every moment spent with her husband, son, and grandchildren. Her grandchildren were truly the center of her universe. Kay found happiness in shopping, watching football with her husband, spending time with loved ones, and enjoying the loyal companionship of her beloved dog, Zoey.
