MARK CHEATHAM, 61 AND LISA (TUCKER) CHEATHAM, 58, CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY

 

Mark Davis Cheatham, 61, son of the late Davis and Evelyn Ruth “Shorty” (Feese) Cheatham, was born in Adair County on October 4, 1959. About 2½ years later, on March 8, 1962 Lisa Cheatham, 58, daughter of the late Charles and Betty Lou (Tullis) Tucker, was born in Taylor County. On April 10, 1981 they united in marriage beginning an inseparable journey through life.

 

On Friday, December 11, 2020 at the age of 61, Mark succumbed to complications of Covid-19 at the Norton Hospital in Louisville. On Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at the age of 58, Lisa joined him in eternity after losing her battle with the same disease.

 

Mark was a heavy equipment operator for the Kentucky Department of Transportation and Lisa was a recently retired jobs coordinator for the Cabinet for Families & Children and an educator for family services through Eastern Kentucky University, and together they were the owners of Featherway Farms. They cherished the time they spent with each other and rarely was one seen without the other. They both loved to travel and were active members in the Soule Chapel United Methodist Church. If the weather was decent and they weren’t fishing, and hunting season wasn’t in (mostly for Mark) or there wasn’t enough people around to start a Rook game (usually for Lisa), there was a pretty good chance they were riding together on their motorcycle. Both of them loved to laugh; they understood how to make life better for those around them, and they regularly chose the paths in life that would brighten peoples spirits.
