Linda “Karen” Jaggers, age 75, departed this life on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky. The Edmonson County native was born on September 13, 1950, to Catherine Gibson McMurdo and the late Roy Truman Massey. She shared a beautiful, lifelong bond with her husband, Steve Jaggers. They were loving partners and true soul mates, and she held his memory close after his passing.

Karen lived a life filled with laughter, resilience, and deep devotion to those she loved. She began her professional life as an administrative assistant at the Department of Transportation. She later devoted 12 years to raising her children, a role she cherished deeply. After her time as a stay-at-home mom, she returned to the workforce and built a respected 27-year career as both a bankruptcy collections manager at Sears Credit and a credit collections manager at Citi Bank. Her dedication and compassion earned the admiration of colleagues and clients alike. She was also a member of Kyrock United Baptist Church.
After retiring, she enjoyed the slower, well-earned pace of life and the time she spent with her family—they truly had her heart. She was a loving mother who took immense pride in her children and grandchildren. As a Mamaw, she offered comfort and joy and was always a steady source of warmth that made those around her feel deeply loved.

Besides her loving mother, Catherine, she leaves to honor her memory— her children, Brandy Durm (Steven) and Josh Jaggers (Lindsey), all of Louisville; her grandchildren, Hailey Jaggers, Molly and Dylan Durm; and siblings, John McMurdo (Lynn), Tisha Sloan (Joe), Jackie York and Billie Smith (Rickey). Her memory will live on in the hearts of her loved ones and will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Freddie Ray Logsdon, age 74 of Wingfield, departed this life on Thursday, November 27, 2025 at TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital in Bowling Green. The Edmonson County native was born on July 14, 1951 to the late Raymond Earl and Lillie Mae Glass Logsdon. He was married to his loving wife of fifty-two years, Vickie Jo Logsdon, until they were parted by her passing on August 14, 2022.

Freddie retired from Berry Plastics after more than twenty years of dedicated service as a technician, a role in which he poured both skill and pride into his work. Over the years, he also worked with Firestone, drove a bus for the Edmonson County School District—always greeting the children with a friendly smile—and owned and operated Logsdon’s Sawmill, a place where his strong work ethic and love for hands-on craftsmanship truly shined.

Freddie found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He was a member of Fairview United Baptist Church. He looked forward to his annual spring fishing trip to Kentucky Lake, a tradition that brought him peace and happiness year after year. He also loved sharing Chinese meals with his sister, Linda, canning the fresh fruits and vegetables from his garden, and savoring a warm cup of coffee on his deck as he took in the stillness of the day. Above all, he treasured every moment spent with his family, who were the heart of his world.

He leaves to honor his memory— his sons, David Logsdon (Misti) and Russell Logsdon, all of Wingfield; grandchildren, Matthew Logsdon (Taylor), Kiann White, Emily Logsdon (Darryn Hamilton), Tanner Logsdon and Lexi Logsdon; great-grandchildren, Walker, Lorelei and Holden Hamilton; honorary daughters, Jeanne Bullock and Debbie Doyle (Darren); sisters, Virginia Hawks (Ronell) and Linda Lillard; his best friend and fur baby, Thor, along with several nieces and nephews who loved and cared for him.

Adam Randell Blanton, age 43 of Anneta, departed this life on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. The Edmonson County native was born on September 18, 1982 to Arlen and Reva Carroll Blanton.

Adam worked side-by-side with his dad at Blanton’s Body Shop, where he poured great craftsmanship into every repair. In his spare time, he found peace in the stillness of the water, fishing pole in hand, where the world seemed to slow down just for him. He loved wandering through flea markets in search of hidden treasures, always with an eye for a good bargain and a story to go with it.

He held a special love for his grandparents. Whether he was running errands for them or simply sitting and talking awhile, he treasured every moment they shared. Those memories — along with the many family trips to the Smoky Mountains — were some of his greatest joys. He carried them close to his heart, returning to them often with a grateful smile.

Besides his parents, Arlen and Reva, he leaves to honor his memory— his beloved daughters, Sydney and Rylee Blanton of Sweeden; sister, Jeana Blanton of Bee Spring; companion, Billie Mayhugh of Anneta; grandparents, Pat and Virginia Blanton of Anneta; niece and nephew, Samantha Foulks (Aaron) and Jackson Blanton; great-nieces, Cassidy and Charlotte Foulks, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins that he dearly loved.

Gary Lee Brownfield, 75, of Goodnight, was freed from all earthly burdens on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at Shanti Niketan Hospice Home in Glasgow, surrounded by his beloved family. A Warren County native, he was born on March 16, 1950, to the late Charles Moses and Alpha Moore Brownfield. He was married to his loving wife of fifty-four blessed years, Diana Elmore Brownfield, who survives.

Gary dedicated 28 years to RR Donnelley, after which he spent many of his happiest years devoting his time to the work he loved most—his orchard and garden—tending to the trees and plants he cared for year after year. He took genuine pride in nurturing things that would grow and last. He was such a hard worker and had the strongest work ethic.

Although his life held significant challenges, he rarely complained. He faced the difficult parts of life with a perseverance that is unmatched. A lifelong Dodgers fan, Gary admired Sandy Koufax from boyhood and carried that devotion throughout his life. Baseball remained a simple pleasure until the very end. His interest in ideas ran deep. Though his formal education ended after high school, he had a lifelong love of learning. Gary became an avid reader of history and political theory. He valued education and was proud to see his children and grandchildren do the same.

Above all, his greatest joy was his family. He cherished his wife, daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren, and even as dementia progressed, he continued to recognize them, ask about their lives, and hold tightly to who they were to him. Besides his wife, Diana, he leaves to honor his memory— his three cherished daughters and their husbands, whom he thought the world of, Dana Depp (Doug) of Bowling Green, Amanda Curtis (Josh) of Glasgow, and Kari Kunkel (Matt) of Bowling Green, and six grandchildren who were the greatest joys of all, Taylor Depp (fiancé Cameron Read), Ryan Depp, Payton Curtis, and Ella, Addison, and Annabelle Kunkel. He is also survived by his brothers, Bill Brownfield and Jim Brownfield, along with several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sister, Elizabeth Butler; his brother, “Little” Robert Brownfield; and his sister, Kathy Brownfield.

The family wishes to give a special thanks to all of the wonderful healthcare professionals & first responders they have met on this difficult journey. They are truly the hands and feet of Jesus and bring peace to families during the most difficult times.
