Campbell, Dennis "Coon"
CAMPBELL, DENNIS “COON”, 73, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, retired business owner, died on August 27, 2022 at the Owsley County Health Care Center. Dennis grew up in the close-knit community of Fish
Creek in Owsley County in a large, loving family. He was preceded in death by his parents, four siblings and many close friends. He is survived by his beloved sister, Doris Lee of Lily, Kentucky and brother, Jim Campbell
of Warsaw, Kentucky, seven children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He had a life-long love affair with old-fashioned country food; soup beans, cornbread, shuck beans, fresh fish, hog meat, bologna
sandwiches and butterscotch pie were his favorite foods of choice. He loved Owsley County and Booneville to his core. He rarely found the need to leave. Instead of vacations, he just needed a few hours on the river
bank and a cold beer to recharge. He worked 7 days a week, 365 days of a year for most of his life and took much joy and satisfaction in his work and being able to provide for his family. His grocery store on Lerose
was a hub in the community. There was a warm fire in the stove, with plenty of jokes and tall tales to go around and a piece of candy for the children. Dennis enjoyed card games, especially if a wager was involved. He
played some kind of cards nearly every day of his life even if it was just a game of solitaire at the kitchen table. In the winter, he liked to whittle and enjoyed collecting knives. He also enjoyed sports, especially
UK basketball. Dennis never had need of the internet, a cell phone or a credit card. He lived a simple life and became very devout in his later years, attending the Fish Creek Bible Church and Spencer Fork Community
Church. Dennis believed that God made this earth to be our heaven and we are wasting that gift if we worry, are sad or unhappy. Dennis was very proud of all seven of the children he had a hand in raising. He wanted
his daughters to know how proud he is of them for being good mother, good wives and raising good children of their own. As a father, Dennis instilled in his children the value of education and told them they were going
to graduate high school and college. His dedication to education continued throughout his life and will continue now that he has passed on. He made the decision to donate his body to the University of Cincinnati for the
research on epilepsy; the condition that nearly took his life as a teenager. A memorial service will be held at the Searcy & Strong Funeral Home from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, September 3rd. In lieu of flowers, or other
remembrance gifts, the family requests donations be made to the Fish Creek Bible Church or Spencer Fork Community Church. The Booneville Sentinel/August 31, 2022

in the power of education. She dedicated her life to working with children. She taught at Sunshine Friends and the Berea College Child Development Lab. She had a knack of finding whatever child needed extra support and making
sure that child got special attention. She was incredibly kind, infinitely patient, and a wonderful listener. Later, she became Director of the Child Development Lab. Two of her proudest professional moments were helping to
get a grant to build a natural playground for the Lab and guiding the Lab to qualify for accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Wilma loved finding ways to support the families and
staff she worked with, and she always wanted things to be better for the children. More than anything, she loved her family. She loved to host family gatherings, and she inevitably made too much food. She was at her happiest
when her family was together and well fed. She is survived by her husband, Orlando Chambers, daughter Cassie Chambers Armstrong (Bryan), and her first grandchild, set to make his debut into the world this summer. She is also

Cole, Irvin Jr.
Irvin Cole, Jr. (Junior) passed peacefully at home with his family on Thursday, February 2nd, in Morrow, OH. He was born on November 28, 1945, in Clay County, KY, to Arlie and Irvin Cole, Sr. If Junior wasn’t recognized by name,
he was surely recognized by his one snow white eyebrow- a birthmark he was uniquely known for. This is only one of the many things that made him distinctly memorable. He was a son and a brother. He was a soldier and a veteran.
He was a husband, a father, and a grandfather. He was an uncle, a friend, a confidant, a protector, a teacher, a leader, and a Christian. He was extraordinary. He filled every single one of these roles in a remarkable way. He
wasn’t just a soldier - he was an extraordinary soldier of the Vietnam war, joining the US Army in 1964, serving as a sergeant in combat until 1967, and concluded his service with a Purple Heart Award and a Bronze Star Medal
for outstanding meritorious service. He wasn’t just a husband- he was an extraordinary husband. He married Geraldine Frost on April 6, 1968. For 54 years they moved as one unit- husband and wife, a team in every way. They
shared a marriage of love, respect, camaraderie, patience, understanding, and joy. They weathered many storms and survived many tough times, and ultimately shared a lifetime of love and happiness. Together they had one son,
Raymond Cole. Junior wasn’t just a father- he was an extraordinary father. He welcomed his son, Raymond, who he affectionately referred to as “Peanut”, or most often, “Kid”. He dedicated his life to loving his boy, and he
made every sacrifice to raise him with integrity, character, and most importantly - good common sense. Raymond gave him three grandsons, Matthew, Corey, and Owen. He wasn’t just a grandfather- he was an extraordinary
grandfather to Matthew, Corey, and Owen. With the parenting stuff out of the way, he took the opportunity to really enjoy his grandsons. Spending weekends with them became the highlight of his life. Taking them fishing,
on road trips, or camping out on the back deck under the stars. He left behind no regrets when it came to quality time with his boys. Junior was an extraordinarily hard worker. He loved working outside, especially in his
garden. His annual vegetable gardens were legendary, and he took great pride in growing vegetables and sharing them with friends and family. Junior cherished his relationship with God. He attended the Church of Christ in
Maineville, OH for many years. It was a common to see him studying his bible or uplifting his family in prayer. He had an amazing memory and told the best stories. Even when friends and family had heard them time and time
again, they still loved to listen to him “tell a tale”. He had a unique perspective on life and he led with generosity and integrity, never compromising who he was or what he stood for. His time on earth was well spent, and
he unquestionably left us all as better people for having shared some of our time with him. Junior was preceded in death by his parents, Arlie and Irvin Cole, Sr., and his brother, Raymond Cole. He is survived by his wife,
Geraldine Cole (nee Frost), son Raymond (Amy) Cole, and grandsons Matthew, Corey and Owen Cole. He also leaves behind one brother, Clay (Ruth) Cole, and six sisters, Sue Dooley, Carol McDermott , Judy Kay Cole, Marlene (Alfred)
Angel, Ella Mae (Donnie) Smith, and Connie (Billy) Bowman, and many nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends Monday evening February 6, 22023 from 5pm until 7pm at the Stine Funeral Home of Lebanon. Funeral
services will be held Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 11am at the Stine Funeral Home of Lebanon. Interment with Military Honors will follow in the Deerfield Cemetery, South Lebanon, Ohio. www.stinefhlebanon.com

Combs, Adrian L.
Adrian L. Combs, 88, passed away surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday morning, April 17, 2024, at Compassus Hospice Hospital St. Vincent, Indianapolis, Indiana. The only child of the late Elmer L. and Josephine
Elizabeth Helton Combs, Adrian was born on July 30, 1935 in Pebworth, Owsley County, Kentucky. In the late 1930s, they made Jackson Township, Fayette County, Indiana their home. In the early 40s, they moved to McGuire
Ridge Road outside of Metamora, Indiana, in Franklin County. He graduated from Brookville High School in 1953. Adrian, a man of diverse talents and unwavering commitment, embarked on a remarkable journey through life.
After high school, he joined Roots Blower Company in Connersville, Indiana, where his drafting skills flourished. However, Adrian’s path took an unexpected turn when he left for Baptist Bible College in Springfield,
Missouri. During his college years, he planted a church in Champaign, Illinois, sowing seeds of faith. The day after graduating college, Adrian married the former Judith Kay Harthcock on May 27, 1960, at High Street
Baptist Church in Springfield, Missouri. Mrs. Combs survives. Following his graduation and wedding, Adrian returned to Connersville and was employed at Philco-Ford for 34 years, retiring as a Quality Control Engineer
in 1998. Adrian was also an active participant in community life. In the mid 1970s, Adrian was instrumental in the establishment of Connersville Baptist Temple where he served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher for
many years and remained an active member ever since. Adrian’s love for sports was evident. He was a pitcher for the church softball team and played in both the industrial and church bowling leagues. As a coach, he
helped lead his son David’s Little League baseball teams and daughter Annette’s youth softball teams. Notably, Adrian also led Fayette Central’s boys basketball teams from 1972 to 1976. He also enjoyed attending Cincinnati
Reds baseball games with family and playing golf with his wife and many friends. In addition to these activities, he could be found faithfully attending his grandchildren’s activities and sporting events. Beyond the
playing field, Adrian reveled in his cars: A 1966 white 2-door Ford Fairlane graced his driveway alongside a 1926 Model T Ford. He spent many days fixing up his children’s red Volkswagen Beetles with his father. He
enjoyed fond memories of open roads and adventures during his 20-year membership in the Holiday Rambler RV Club. Adrian’s legacy is one of faith, community, and a zest for life. His impact resonates through the lives
he touched, both within the church walls and beyond. Besides his wife of 63 years, Judy Combs, survivors include three children, Denise (Don) Crum of Connersville, David (Dana) Combs of Carmel, Indiana, and Annette
(John) Miller of Fishers, Indiana; seven grandchildren, Hannah (Ben) Gross of Connersville, Jake (Brittany) Combs of Charleston, South Carolina, Halley (Hunter) Brooks of Merrillville, Indiana, Karly Combs of Carmel,

joy…and mostly anything he wanted. Connie stated once that, “I’m so glad God gave me Myron, because He knew just what I needed. Connie would give birth to and care for that son for 54 years. She knew he was her life’s purpose

love, grace and provision in all circumstances. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her siblings, Denny (Sharon) Moore and Glenda Adams, both of Sunman, and Curtis (Vivian) Moore of West
