Helen Greer Chelf, 92, Lexington, KY

 

Helen Greer Chelf, 92, died Monday, February 26, 2024 at Sayre Christian Village in Lexington, KY after a long illness. Born in Adair County, KY,  she was daughter of the late Lee and Gladys Greer, the second of their eight children.  
 

Helen always felt her greatest accomplishments were being a homemaker and mother. After her marriage in 1955, Helen and her husband built a life of service to others, to her country, and to her church. She was well known for her sewing and quilting skills as well cooking and baking. There were always treats of some sort in the freezer just in case company showed up. She generously shared her quilted blankets, meals, and treats with relatives, neighbors and friends. Her love of children and particularly babies, continued throughout her life and she has assisted with the care of numerous children. 
 

With her marriage she began the life of a military wife, as her husband was on active duty in the Navy. The first duty station for the couple was Great Lakes Naval base, and this was the first of many they would move between until Ralph retired in 1965 and they settled in Frankfort. Helen was a life-long Christian and together, Helen and Ralph were faithful members of the Capital City Christian Church in Frankfort. They served in the Shepherd’s Class, and Helen sang in the choir and worked in the nursery.
 

She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many.

He died at 1:51amET on Thursday, February 8, 2024 after a lengthy illness, at his residence in Louisville with his wife Deborah by his side.

 

Dee was a graduate of the University of Kentucky and Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister at Mt. Horeb Presbyterian Church in Lexington where he served as pastor for 10 years. In 1991, Dee, Deborah, and their son Seth, moved to Anniston, Alabama where Dee served as the pastor of The Church of the Good Shepherd for 6 years before moving back to his beloved state of Kentucky. Dee was installed as pastor of the Anchorage Presbyterian Church in 1997. After serving Anchorage Presbyterian Church for 22 years, Dee retired from active ministry. Upon retirement, Dee was honored to receive the title of Pastor Emeritus of Anchorage Presbyterian Church. To say that Dee loved the members of the congregations he served is an understatement. The love and devotion he felt for his “flock” could never be doubted. Dee believed it an honor to serve as a minister, a holy obligation, one he never took for granted. He delighted in all aspects related to preaching the gospel, the good news. He poured himself into researching, writing, and delivering sermons to honor the grace of God, given to all people. He missed preaching every day of his retirement. When asked if he was enjoying retirement, he would respond that he was not- he wanted to preach just one more sermon.
