Celebrating Kimberlee Jean Autry

A Life of Kindness, Strength, and Love

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kimberlee Jean Autry (Green). She touched the lives of all who knew her with her unwavering compassion, infectious laughter, and boundless generosity. Her memory will live on in the hearts of family, friends, and everyone whose lives she brightened.

Kimberlee was born on June 1, 1960, in Benton, AR. and passed away on October 19, 2025 in Santa Monica, CA.

Kimberlee married the love of her life, Alan Autry and together they built a life full of never- failing love in Fresno, CA.   While serving as a supporting partner with her husband in his acting career and acting school she also served as First Lady of Fresno when her husband was Mayor of Fresno from 2001-2008.  She was also honored as Business Woman of the Year in 2004, a field representative for Congressman Jeff Denham of California and starred alongside her husband in the movie FORGIVEN.

As a sister, she was a constant source of support, encouragement, and joy. Her friends remember her as someone who listened without judgment and gave without expecting anything in return.  Kimberlee was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many.  She loved her family more than anything in the world.

She is survived by her husband Alan Autry, daughters Heather Abelbeck and Lauren Roche, son Austin Autry and grandsons Kaden Clark and Joseph Roche. Sisters Jan Green and Tonya Morgan, Half-brother Bill Moss (Betty), nieces Chloe Morgan, Lucy Morgan and nephews Parker Snider and Trevor Cain, brothers-in-law Jody Morgan and Dane Pruitt.

Though she is no longer with us in person, her spirit will remain a guiding light for all who had the privilege of knowing her. We will forever cherish the memories and the lessons she shared with us.

A Celebration of Kimberlee's Life will be 11:00 a.m. Saturday, December 20 at Ashby Funeral Home in Benton, Arkansas.  We invite all who loved her to join us in commemorating her remarkable journey and the joy she brought to the world.

Rest in peace, dear Kimberlee. You are deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
