​Joyce V. Woosley, age 88, of Brownsville, passed peacefully from this life into the loving arms of her Lord on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at her daughter’s residence. She passed peacefully from this life, leaving behind a beautiful legacy of love and faith, with the cherished hope of one day being reunited with her beloved husband, her precious daughter, and other loved ones who have gone before her. A lifelong resident of Edmonson County, Joyce was born on November 26, 1937, to the late Wilmer and Hazel Stewart Vincent. She was blessed to share sixty-five wonderful years of marriage with her loving and devoted husband, Rev. Charles D. Woosley, until his passing on June 4, 2020. Together, Joyce and Charles built a life centered around their faith, their family and their love for one another.

Joyce spent many years working as a seamstress at Kelwood Manufacturing, where her hardworking and capable hands became part of the story of her life. She was a member of New Home General Baptist Church, where she and her family worshipped and served together for many years. Her faith was a quiet but powerful part of who she was, reflected in the way she loved others, cared for her family and lived her life. Joyce was truly one of the kindest and most gentle souls you could ever know. She had a heart of gold and a love that was genuine, selfless and pure. She never needed much to be happy—she found joy in the simple blessings of everyday life. She loved sewing, cooking, tending to her garden and getting lost in a good book, but what she treasured most was her family. She cherished every visit, every conversation, every meal shared around the table and every opportunity to make memories with those she loved. Her home was a place of warmth and comfort, and her presence brought a sense of peace.

Those left to honor Joyce’s memory and carry her love forward are— her daughters, Teresa Murphy (Keith) of Auburn, KY, and Melanie Vincent (Todd) of Brownsville; grandchildren, Christy Buckles (Mark) of Caneyville, Joseph Vincent (Ali) and Jocelyn Vincent (John), all of Brownsville; six great-grandchildren, Anna, Alayah Elizabeth, Raylan, Easton, Gavin and Teagan; her great-great-granddaughter, Josie; her brother, Barry Vincent (Pauletta) of Brownsville; along with several nieces, nephews, in-laws, and extended family members whom she loved dearly. Along with her parents and husband, Joyce was preceded in death by her beautiful daughter, Joyanna Woosley, and her siblings, Leon, Darrell, Harold, Jerry and Lonnie Vincent.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Debbie Davis for her many years of friendship, kindness and care. Her loving presence meant so much to Joyce and her family, and they are especially grateful for the comfort, compassion and support she so generously gave when they needed her most.

The interment will be in New Home Church Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest among those she loved and near the church that was such an important part of her family’s life.

​Donald Dalana McGrew, 91, of Bee Spring passed away Aug. 10, 2026 at his home.
 
The Grayson County native enjoyed bank fishing, was a heavy equipment operator specializing in excavator operating, liked fast cars, motorcycles, and trucks, enjoyed the daily drive to work in Louisville, time with his friends and driving around with his beloved miniature pinscher, Scrappy. He was a son of the late Kergus McGrew and Mary Williams McGrew and the husband of the late Ollie Mae Johnson McGrew. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Joan Perry; a son, James Kergus McGrew; two sisters, Dimple Johnson and Joyce Saltsman; and two brothers, Carlan McGrew and Junior McGrew.
 
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM Saturday at Gravil Funeral Home with burial to follow in Vincent Cemetery. Visitation will take place 1:00-7:00 PM Friday and after 9:00 AM Saturday.
 
Surviving are two daughters, Mary Alice Vincent of Bee Spring and Dana Murrell of Lexington; two sons, Lannie McGrew (Nikki) of Smiths Grove and Brandon Hall of Leitchfield; a sister, Louise Jarboe; a brother, Harlan McGrew; five grandchildren, Lucas Carroll, Michael Sandlin, Heather Nunn, Brandon McGrew and Chase McGrew; and nine great grandchildren.

​Darrell Webb, age 74, of Brownsville, departed this life on Monday, August 10, 2026, surrounded by his family and the people he cherished most. Born on October 20, 1951, Darrell was a lifelong Edmonson County native and the son of the late William “Hoover” and Pearl Webb. Edmonson County was not simply the place he called home—it was where his roots ran deep, where he grew up, raised his family, worked, worshipped, and made many of the memories that became the story of his life.

Darrell was saved as a young boy in the quiet surroundings of his family home, and he united with Mt. Zion United Baptist Church. His faith was never simply something he talked about; when he was praying and serving the Lord, he did so with a sincerity and devotion that were evident to those around him. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War era. Upon returning home, Darrell began working at Brownsville Manufacturing before eventually putting his talents and hardworking nature into a business of his own. As a painter, he traveled throughout surrounding communities, leaving behind not only beautifully painted homes and buildings, but also a reputation for being dependable, honest, and committed to doing a good job. Later, he had the joy of working alongside his beloved son, Fielden, at Webb and Son Painting. Father and son made a good team, and together they became known for their reliability, integrity, and dedication to every person who trusted them with their work.

Darrell also knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. In his younger years, he loved searching the countryside for Indian artifacts and arrowheads, taking great interest in the history and treasures hidden beneath the ground. Later, his love for the outdoors led him to become an avid bass fisherman. Some of his fondest memories were made on the water with his brothers, Ronnie and Brent, sharing the kind of time together that becomes treasured long after the fishing poles are put away. Darrell's greatest treasures, however, were found in his family. He and Debbie Denham shared many years of their lives together. Although their lives eventually took different paths, the bond they shared never truly disappeared. They remained close friends, connected by the love they had for one another, their children, and their family. Debbie remained a special part of Darrell's life through his final days, lovingly serving as his caretaker and being by his side when he needed her most.

He leaves to honor his memory— his beloved, Debbie Denham of Chalybeate; his cherished daughters, Cheri Lindsey (Jayson) of Bee Spring and Amy Minyard of Elizabethtown; his grandsons, Zachary Lindsey, Daniel Minyard (BreAnna), Carter Minyard (Kaitlyn Meredith), and Levi Tucker; and his great-grandchildren, Hadley, Harper, Harlow, and Hayden Minyard, and his siblings, Brent Webb (Regina), Regina Forbes, and Norine Childress (Johnny), along with nephews, nieces and extended family members. He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Fielden Thomas Webb, and his brother, Ronnie Webb—two losses that left an empty place in his heart and whose memories remained a cherished part of his life.

The interment will be in Mt. Zion Church Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to: Mt. Zion Church Cemetery Fund, c/o James Vincent.

​Buddy Kevin Vincent, age 52, of Big Clifty, formerly of Brownsville, departed this life on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at Owensboro Health. The Edmonson County native was born on June 16, 1974, to the late Bud and Evelyn Elmore Vincent. He shared a devoted marriage with his wife, Callie Jo Vincent, until she was called home to be with the Lord. Though separated by death, their love remained a lasting testimony of the life they built together.

Buddy Kevin never met a stranger! With his warm smile, generous heart, and easygoing spirit, he had a remarkable way of making everyone feel like a friend. He was well known and deeply loved throughout the community, and his genuine kindness left a lasting impression on countless lives. A graduate of Edmonson County High School, Buddy Kevin believed in serving others. He volunteered in years past with the Brownsville Volunteer Fire Department and was a member of the Edmonson County Lions Club, giving back to the community that had given so much to him. For many years, he owned and operated Little Bud's Bait and Tackle, where customers often came as much for the fellowship and conversation as they did for fishing supplies. He also treasured the years he spent working alongside his friends, Joel and Barbara Davis and the Green River Canoe family, creating memories and friendships that would endure for a lifetime.

Buddy Kevin's faith was also very important to him, and means more today than ever.  He was saved as a young boy at Anneta United Baptist Church, after hearing the gospel from Bro. Willard Saltsman.  He was baptized, joined the church, and remained a member there until he left for his heavenly home.  

He leaves to cherish his memory-- his uncle, Michael Elmore (Hilda); his special mother-in-law, Donna Nunn; his sister-in-law, Janie Broughton (Stanley); and his nephew, Ison Broughton, along with many extended family members, dear friends, and neighbors whose lives were made richer by knowing him.  Besides his beloved wife and parents, Kevin was preceded in death by his grandparents, Perry and Lola Mae Vincent and George and Valerie Elmore; and his aunts and uncles, Riley Elmore, James Elmore, Nelsie Whobery, Louise Williams, and Alice Williams.

​Brenda Lee Conley, age 83, of Brownsville, was called to her eternal home on Sunday, August 2, 2026. An Edmonson County native, Brenda was born on September 20, 1942, to the late Noel and Hannah Ashley Vincent. Brenda was blessed to share life's journey with her best friend and devoted husband, Johny Wayne Conley, whose love and companionship remained steadfast through the years. 

Brenda dedicated many years of her working life to PBI Bank, where she served as a loan processor and teller before retiring. She considered it a privilege to help others, and her kindness and compassionate nature were evident in every interaction. Whether helping customers at the bank or visiting with her church family, friends or neighbors, Brenda had a special way of making people feel valued and loved. 

As long as her health allowed, Brenda remained a devoted member of Poplar Spring United Baptist Church, where her beautiful alto voice became a cherished part of the church choir, as well as the Madison Brothers Quartet. Music was one of God's greatest gifts to Brenda, and she faithfully used that gift to bless others throughout her life. For many years, Brenda joined her precious mom, dad, brother, and sister in sharing the beautiful hymn, "Footprints in the Sands of Time," a family tradition that reflected their deep faith and love for the Lord. Like the beloved hymn, Brenda left footprints that will continue to guide and inspire future generations for many years to come.

Besides her beloved husband, Johny, she leaves to cherish her memory-- her siblings, Jack Vincent (Patty) of Mt. Washington and Karen Franklin of Bowling Green, along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews whom she loved as her own. While Brenda's family grieves the loss of her earthly presence, they find comfort in knowing they'll one day be reunited in that heavenly choir.  

The interment will be in Poplar Spring Church Cemetery.  Memorial contributions may be made to:  Poplar Spring Church Cemetery Fund, c/o Anthony Madison.

Bobby retired after many years of dedicated service with B.R. Retread. He was a faithful member of both Cave City Church of Christ and Three Forks Church of Christ, where his Christian faith quietly shaped the way he lived each day. He was not one to seek attention or praise, but instead let his actions reflect the strength of his character and the depth of his convictions.

Bobby found joy in life's simple blessings. Whether he was casting a line in his favorite fishing spot, cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats, tending a garden filled with vegetables and colorful flowers, or simply spending time with those he loved, he treasured every moment. Above all, his family was the greatest blessing of his life. He delighted in spoiling his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, creating memories they will cherish forever.

​Bobby Wayne Saylors, age 85, of Smiths Grove, peacefully fell asleep in this life on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, with the blessed assurance that he would awaken with the Lord in heaven. A native of Allen County, Bobby was born on May 8, 1941, to the late Thurman and Nellie Saylors. On Valentine's Day, February 14, 1959, he married the love of his life and devoted best friend, Barbara Jean Saylors. Together they shared sixty-seven beautiful years of marriage, building a life centered on faith, family, and unwavering love until the Lord called her home on February 3, 2026. Their enduring love story was a testament to commitment, devotion, and God's blessings.

Bobby was a hardworking and dependable man who took great pride in providing for his family. As the owner and operator of Saylors Golf Carts for many years, he earned the respect of countless friends and customers through his honesty, integrity, and strong work ethic. Even beyond his business, Bobby rarely slowed down. He found genuine joy in working on his farm, tending his garden, and embracing the simple blessings of country life. Some of his happiest moments were spent beside his grandsons, lending a helping hand with farm work, sharing his knowledge, and creating memories that will be treasured for generations. Above all, Bobby cherished the time he spent surrounded by his family. Whether gathered around the table or simply enjoying one another's company, those moments meant the world to him.
Bobby's greatest foundation was his faith. Saved in his youth, he remained steadfast in his Christian walk throughout his life. He was a member of Hanging Fork Baptist Church and, in later years, found great joy in worshipping with his church family at Fairview Memorial Baptist Church, until declining health no longer allowed him to attend. Bobby lived his faith through quiet acts of kindness, humility, and service.

​Sylvia Monroe Smith, age 88, of Bowling Green, peacefully departed this life on Monday, July 20, 2026, at Signature HealthCare in Bowling Green. The Edmonson County native was born on December 5, 1937, to the late Harry and Christine Wells Monroe. She shared her life with her husband, Don Smith, who preceded her in death.

Sylvia was a woman of remarkable strength, determination, and countless talents. Alongside her husband, she spent many years traveling the highways, hills, and countryside of the United States as an 18-wheeler driver. She treasured the opportunity to witness the beauty of God's creation across the country, finding joy in the rolling hills, majestic mountains, and ever-changing landscapes that made each journey memorable.

While she enjoyed traveling, her heart was always happiest at home, where she lovingly cared for her family. A gifted homemaker and creative soul, Sylvia had a talent for making something beautiful out of almost anything. She found joy in crafting and was an exceptional seamstress whose skill and creativity allowed her to sew, mend, and create just about anything she imagined. She was equally known for her wonderful cooking and took great pleasure in gathering her loved ones around the table, preparing delicious meals that nourished both body and soul. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and welcome, where family made cherished memories together.

Sylvia's greatest blessing came as a young girl when she was saved at Cedar Springs United Baptist Church. She remained a member there, and her enduring faith was the cornerstone upon which she lived each day.

She leaves to cherish her memory— her two loving sons, Timothy Doyle (Donetta) of Glasgow and Wesley Brooks (Jenny) of Bowling Green; four beloved grandchildren, Joshua Doyle (Michelle), Justin Brooks (Jennifer), Katie Brooks, and Kathina Greenwood (Chris); twelve treasured great-grandchildren, Mason, Christian, Makenzie, Hunter, Benjamin, and Carter Doyle, Jordan, Autumn, Abigail, and Annabelle Brooks, and Addison and Reid Steele; along with her sister-in-law, Delores Monroe.

Vernita Harvey Blair, 89, entered her heavenly home on July 16 surrounded by her loving family.

Vernita was the daughter of Reverend Fred and Mary Abston Harvey of Albany, Kentucky and was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Luther E. “Ed” Blair and her brother, Rev. Forest Freeman Harvey (June).

Vernita was born at the parsonage in Frank, West Virginia and grew up in Albany, Kentucky, graduated from Clinton County High School and Lindsey Wilson College where she met her future husband, Ed Blair. After finishing college at Lindsey Wilson, Ed and Vernita married on December 24, 1956 and moved to Akron, Ohio where they both secured jobs at Firestone. They lived in Akron for 10 years where they started their family welcoming four of their six children. They relocated to Bowling Green in 1967 when Ed transferred with the new Firestone Textiles Plant and were blessed with two more children completing their family.

Vernita was a trained singer with a beautiful Alto voice. She accompanied Ed sharing Special Music in church and while traveling many road miles in the car with their family especially on vacations. Vernita will be remembered for singing while she washed dishes, mountains of laundry, and performing all the daily responsibilities of keeping an eight-member family home running efficiently and smoothly. She attended Lindsey Wilson on a teaching scholarship. Her classroom was the family home, and her six children were her students. She instructed her children with diligence and great expectations. Each child checked out the maximum number of books on regular trips to the library and craft stores. She was an excellent seamstress and taught each of her daughters to sew; their workmanship was judged and modeled through County and State Fairs and 4-H style shows. She served as a taxi driver shuttling each child to chosen activities and encouraged excellence and commitment. Vernita was a devoted student of God’s Word and demonstrated spiritual discipline. She was a member of the Nazarene Church and transferred her membership to Mount Olivet Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Bowling Green.

Vernita is survived by her six children, Theresa Blair Davis (Harvey), Carolyn Blair Tarrence (Steve), Lisa Blair Poe, Alan Blair (Tina), Jimmy Blair, and Dawn Blair-Cherry (Lucas), ten grandchildren, Chris Davis (Amy), Ryan Davis, Brandon Kyle Davis (Melissa), Shawn Tarrence (Tiffany), Natalie Chiapusio (Scott), Bethany Amber LaRocco, Brooke Basham (Justin), Ben Blair (Amber), Dr. Madeline Blair, Kylie Blair, fifteen great-grandchildren, sisters in-law Joyce Flatt, Gayle Blair, Billie Stecker (Chuck) and several nieces and nephews.

Minor Timothy Kinser, 65, of Segal passed away July 14, 2026 from injuries suffered in a vehicle accident near his home.
The Edmonson County native was a member of the Edmonson County High School class of 1978, a retired shipping clerk for International Paper and was a dependable and hard worker- the one that everyone in the family would turn to for help. He filled the role as The Man and problem solver for the whole family and he was also willing and quick to help others. He was the son of the late Minor Travis Kinser, the late Kenneth Lewis- who raised him- and Genevie Houchin Lewis of Brownsville, who survives. He was preceded in death by a sister, Linda Kinser Sowders.

Timmy adored his mother and his daughter and grandchildren were the light of his life, but the love of his life was his wife- Carla Claudine Cole Kinser, whom he married on Sept. 12, 1992. His closest friends say that this union with Carla changed his whole world- improving and making his life complete.

He enjoyed piddling with small jobs, and if he didn’t know how to fix something, he would learn. Timmy also enjoyed tinkering with his ’92 and ’95 Corvettes and his ’31 Model A Ford that was passed down to him and Carla from his father-in-law. He was also musically inclined- he was a talented song writer with a creative mind, had a talent for singing, building and playing guitars, and was an avid fan of Merle Haggard.

Visitation will take place 11:00 AM-7:00 PM Saturday and 9:00 AM-4:00 PM Sunday at Gravil Funeral Home. No other services have been scheduled.
​
Surviving in addition to his wife and mother are his daughter, Megan Yoder (Noah) of Smiths Grove; three grandchildren, Emmie Kay Yoder, Axe Timothy Yoder and Jett Cole Yoder; two sisters, Marie Raymer of Segal and Jeanna Newton (Chris) of Mammoth Cave; two aunts, Angela Houchin and Marilyn Wells (Danny); an uncle, Alton Houchin; his best friend and cousin, David Patton; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and many other family and friends.

​Diane “Myrtle” Stewart, age 69, of Cave City, peacefully departed this life on Friday, July 17, 2026, at TriStar Skyline Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. A native of Barren County, Diane was born on April 10, 1957, to the late Jack and Mary Crabtree Jameson. She shared forty-three wonderful years of marriage with her devoted husband and best friend, Barry Stewart, who survives.

Diane was a dedicated and hardworking woman whose strong work ethic and caring spirit touched everyone who knew her. She was employed as a bookkeeper with Campbell, Myers & Rutledge. Prior to that, she faithfully served Park Mammoth Resort for twenty-seven years, where she worked her way to becoming general manager. She took great pride in her work, always giving her best and leading with kindness, dedication, and integrity.

She was someone who enjoyed staying active and making the most of each day. Diane loved taking walks, exercising, hunting for bargains while couponing and shopping, and cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats. She never missed an opportunity to enjoy Dancing With the Stars, and she found happiness in life's simple pleasures. Above all else, Diane treasured her family. Nothing brought her greater joy than spending time with her children and grandchildren, whose lives were forever enriched by her love, encouragement, and unwavering support. She was a member of Park City United Methodist Church, and she treasured her church family.

Besides her beloved husband, Barry, she leaves to cherish her memory— her children, Crystal Jackson (Corey) and Tyler Stewart (Courtney), all of Glasgow and adoring grandchildren, Griffin Jackson, Keegan Jackson, Willow Stewart, and Charlie Stewart, each of whom held a special place in her heart, along with her mother-in-law, Shirley Johnson.

​Kelly Hugh Jaggers, age 77, of Hodgenville, was called home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown. A native of Edmonson County, Kelly was born on August 8, 1948, to the late Rev. Elza Edward and Emma Lou Sanders Jaggers. For forty-four wonderful years, he shared a devoted marriage with the love of his life, Shirley Lee Jaggers. Together they built a home centered on faith, love, and unwavering commitment to one another.

Kelly's greatest foundation was his faith. At the age of fourteen, he was saved at Cove Hollow United Baptist Church, and later became a faithful member of Kyrock United Baptist Church, where he faithfully worshipped alongside his friends, family and church family and lived a life that reflected his exceptional Christian values. Kelly was especially gifted in prayer, and many found comfort, encouragement, and strength through his heartfelt prayers. His steadfast faith and humble spirit left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him. Kelly honorably served our country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he dedicated many years to General Electric, where he retired as an inspector and chief steward after a respected career marked by hard work and integrity. Never one to stop serving others, he later spent ten years as a bus driver for the LaRue County School District, where he was a familiar and friendly face to countless students and families. Kelly was also a proud member of B.R. Young Masonic Lodge #132.

Beyond all of his accomplishments, Kelly will be remembered most for the way he embraced life and the people he loved. He found great happiness in the simple pleasures—spending time fishing, searching for hidden treasures with his metal detector, collecting coins, and proudly expressing his support for President Trump. Kelly also had a playful spirit and was well known for teasing those around him, always enjoying a good laugh and bringing smiles to family and friends. Whether sharing stories, joking with loved ones, or making memories with his grandchildren, he had a way of making every gathering a little brighter. His love for his family, his unwavering faith, and the countless moments of joy he created will remain treasured in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

​John David Scott was born May 17, 1947 in Brownsville, KY to James and Mary (nee' VanMeter) Scott. Surrounded by the love of his family, John passed away on Friday, July 10, 2026 at his home in Villa Ridge, MO at the age of 79 years.

John grew up in Brownsville, KY and received his education in Edmonson County. He was united in marriage to Joyce Hardeman in 1969 and their marriage was blessed with two sons, David and Darrel. Later in life, John was united in marriage to Betty Brown (nee' Hagedorn) on July 11, 2009 at St. Mary of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Villa Ridge.

John was a jack-of-all trades and enjoyed spending time working on most anything that needed repair. He loved to work on things, rebuild motors and automotive parts and generally tinker in his shop. He would often spend a considerable amount of time problem-solving and almost always found a way to get things fixed. He was such a good problem-solver that many of his friends and family members knew that if John couldn't fix it, then it probably wasn't fixable. When he wasn't taking things apart or working on motors, John could be found tending to his garden, hunting, fishing, or spending time with his family. John loved his family dearly and cherished the moments he was blessed to spend with his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Henry was born on December 19, 1940, in Bee Spring to the late Harold and Goldie (Whobrey) Vincent. A devoted husband, loving father, cherished brother, grandfather, and friend, Henry lived a life rooted in faith, family, and music.

Henry enjoyed a successful career with the United States Government, managing Post Exchanges (PXs) on Army bases, then later retired as Store Manager from Heck's Department Store. He took pride in his work and the relationships he built throughout his career. Henry and his wife, Alicia, were faithful members of Calvary Baptist Church for many years. He was also a proud member of Wellsburg Masonic Lodge No. 2 A.F. & A.M. and the Shriners in Wheeling, West Virginia.
Above all else, Henry's greatest treasures were his faith and his family. He was a devoted husband who deeply loved his wife, Alicia, and a caring father and grandfather whose kindness, wisdom, and gentle spirit touched numerous generations. His legacy of faith, music, laughter, and unconditional love will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

He leaves to honor his memory-- his loving wife, Alicia Vincent; his children, Jack Vincent and Jill Scanson (Chris) of Tacoma, WA and Derek Vincent (Julia) of New Brighton, PA; his stepsons, Russell Gerrard (Dana)of Wellsburg, WV and Duane Gerrard (Amy) of Follansbee, WV; his brothers, Ira Vincent (Michelle) of Brownsville and Dennis Vincent of Radcliff; 16 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; several beloved nieces and nephews, along with his faithful companion, his dog Ryder.
