​On Saturday, October 3rd, Frances Elaine Parsley, 96, went home to see Jesus, her husband of 60 years Andrew Gus Parsley, SR, family, and friends in her new heavenly home. 

She was the daughter of Hilary and Mattie Vincent.  She was born on Salem Road in the community of Prosperity, KY (Bee Springs) on February 28, 1924.  She is predeceased by her husband Gus, brother William Vincent, and sister Mary Helen Burnette.

Gus and Elaine were married May 27, 1942.  This true love produced two children: a daughter Nancy Sue Parsley Potter, married to Richard Potter, and a son Andrew Gus Parsley, JR, married to Kaye. From these unions came six grandchildren: Nancy Elizabeth Potter, Dr. Katherine Elaine Potter, Sarah Parsley Peterson married to Justin Peterson, Emily Elaine Parsley, Mattie Drew Parsley, and Rachel Diane Parsley. Great grandchildren are Hank Peterson, Brooks Peterson, and Lilly Jane Peterson. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

Our mother truly loved Edmonson County and its people. Elaine maintained employment as a Kentucky Trial Commissioner thru age 93. She was a charter member of the Edmonson County Homemakers, charter member of the Edmonson County Ambulance Board, member of the Order of Eastern Star, and was an extremely active Republican holding many state and national positions.  She was a public school teacher and Sunday School teacher for many years. It’s fair to say she was a mover and a shaker when there was a job or good cause!

She was a faithful Christian and loved her church family at Brownsville Missionary Baptist Church.  Her favorite past time was inviting people to church and then asking them to sit with her.  We feel certain if she could talk, she would tell you this is not the end but just the glorious beginning!

As a result of COVID-19 and for the safety of family and friends, the family has chosen to have a private service to honor her memory. The Gravil Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Expressions of sympathy and remembrance may be made to Southern Kentucky Hospice House or Brownsville Missionary Baptist Church. 

Don Leo Raymer went to his eternal reward on October 3, 2020, at the age of 81. Don was born on December 9, 1938, in Windyville, Kentucky, as the second son of Theodore and Jerlean Raymer, who welcomed their son home with joy.

Ask anyone who knew Don - affectionately known as Don L - to describe him and the word you’d be sure to hear quite often would be “gracious.” The love of Don’s life was his wife, Margaret, whom he adored with a passion that his children and grandchildren sought to emulate. If you knew one thing about Don L, you knew he loved Margaret.

He was gracious with his country wisdom, which he dispensed to family, friends, and Democrats (through his ongoing series of letters to the editor). Don was also gracious with his money, always quick to spoil Margaret, his children Greg and Leigh Ann, and especially his grandchildren: Josh, Connor, Tory, Jax, and Ella. His grandkids knew if they couldn’t get something from their parents, “Papaw” was just a phone call away.

Don made an impression on everyone he met. Those who bought a vehicle from him admired his honesty and fairness, and usually wound up as repeat customers. He thanked them for their purchase with a jar of relish to use in their pinto beans.
If you sat next to him at a ballgame, you respected the love and support he showed his children or grandchildren, even if you were rooting for the other team. He coached many young men throughout the years in both city and county youth baseball teams. Don was probably best known for his American Legion Runnin Rebels baseball team, which traveled on the big red SOKY bus with the horn that played over 50 different tunes.
​
If you were lucky enough to join him at Saturday breakfast - his love for which was only surpassed by his love for Margaret - you took joy in Don’s unique collection of sayings, known as Papaw-isms. “Pert near but not plumb,” “Don’t be a weenie,” and “Get up and light the lamp” were among some of his family’s favorite Papaw-isms.

Don is survived by Margaret, his wife of 61 years; his son Greg and daughter-in-law Stacy; his daughter Leigh Ann; his grandchildren Josh and his wife Ali, Connor and his wife Becca, Tory, Jax, and Ella; and his great-grandchildren, JJ, Bo, and Paxton. He is preceded in death by his parents, Theodore and Jerlean; his older brother, Wahn Theo; and his half-sister, Alcamae Cieslak.

A public visitation will be held Tuesday, October 6 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. with the funeral immediately after from 12-1 p.m. at J.C. Kirby and Son Funeral Chapel, with the burial afterward at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Don can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

​Joanne Adkins Decker, age 73, of Brownsville, departed this life on Saturday, October 3, 2020 in Bowling Green.  The Louisville, KY native was born on November 11, 1946 to the late Samuel Adkins, Sr. and Dorothy Louise Adkins. She was married to her husband of fifty years, Larry Decker, who survives. 

Joanne was a teachers' assistant for Edmonson County Schools and was known as “Ms. Joanne” by her students. She was a member of Brownsville Missionary Baptist Church.  

Besides her husband, she leaves to honor her memory-- two sons, Bill Decker (Stacie) of Chalybeate and Wayne Decker (Tim) of Smiths Grove; one daughter, Kim Purcell of Smiths Grove; four grandchildren, Christian Decker, Cameron Decker (fiancée, Grayson Sizemore), Abigail Purcell and Aidan Purcell; one brother, Fred Adkins of Bee Spring; one sister, Linda VanMeter (Sherbert) of Bee Spring and several nieces and nephews.
