Betty's life was a testament to her vibrant spirit and diverse interests. She was a lifelong lover of a good book, bridge and gin rummy enthusiast, an avid Facebook user, and an online shopping aficionado. Her Christmases were legendary! Betty also had many talents from golfing, bowling and dancing in her younger years to sewing, knitting, and exploring new crafts she discovered on Pinterest. She and Jim were true blue Wildcat fans having season football tickets for 40 plus years. Betty looked forward to winter escapes on the beach in Marco Island, Florida hunting for a “good shell” and she spent her summers soaking in the sun on the houseboat at Green River Lake. She enjoyed planning special family trips where she loved being together to play games and hold family competitions.

In the 1980s, she shared her flare of style and retail shopping as a business owner of Sensations gift store. Despite the challenges of chronic back pain, this did not stop her from undertaking new endeavors or being present at every birthday party, graduation, wedding or family event.

Known for her love of conversation and proper grammar, she was never shy about sharing her opinions. She left an unforgettable mark on everyone she met. She maintained lifelong friendships with school friends from Seneca High, college friends from Western Kentucky State and neighbors from Tampa, Florida.

Betty was a dedicated member of Bethel First Presbyterian Church. She professed a deep love for Christ that guided her throughout her life.

Gerald Myers, 61, son of the late George Simon Myers and Mildred Noel Myers, was born February 15, 1963, in Campbellsville, Kentucky.  He died at 11:30 A.M. Monday, March 18, 2024, in Lexington, Kentucky at the age of 61 after a courageous battle with cancer. His life didn’t come to an end with his death as he was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy.

He was a pre-loader at UPS in Campbellsville. His drivers benefitted from his meticulousness and his stellar work ethic; he was proud to make his drivers’ routes as seamless as possible. He would have celebrated 25 years with the company in November. 

Gerald married Terry Enzweiler of Florence, Kentucky on May 24, 1986. The couple met early in their college years at the University of Kentucky. Terry describes Gerald as “not just a husband, but a best friend, companion, and soulmate.” He was her heart and hero. 

Gerald was a prolific artist. He sketched, painted, carved, designed, and photographed. However, many people know him for his “Etch a Sketch” art. Because he always carried one with him, he frequently captivated audiences. While most people struggle to create a straight line, he could etch an entire scene from memory. 

No matter the weather, Gerald loved riding his Harley Davidson Road King. One of his most cherished experiences was traveling to Sturgis with two of his life-long buddies. He had a tradition of taking a ride, even if it was a short one, on New Year’s Day. He always joked, “You’ll never see a Harley parked outside of a psychiatrist’s office.” 

Everyone knew Gerald was an avid music lover. He could recall every concert he’d ever been to, who opened, and who was with him. In recent years, Gerald and Terry were able to attend quite a few shows, which brought him great joy. 

All can learn from the way Gerald was a kind and generous servant. He was patient and understanding, but he could surprise you with his clever remarks and biting sarcasm. Gerald was a good man and a good friend. He carried himself with humility and grace and uplifted others despite his own struggles. A 20-year warrior against cancer, Gerald was a champion for others who were fighting adversity themselves. He kept a positive attitude throughout all of his hardships and encouraged others to not give up in their own battles. His motto was “every day is a good day.” 

He professed faith in Christ and was a member of Bethel First Presbyterian Church.

Mr. Smith was an entrepreneur by trade. He was a devout member of Cumberland Presbyterian Church while holding close his Catholic roots. Mr. Smith was a veteran of the United States Army and a proud supporter of the American Legion, and a graduate of Eastern Arizona College and Northern Arizona University.

Mary Elizabeth Robinson, 99, was a pillar of strength, love, and wisdom, whose sunrise of life’s journey began on June 23, 1923 and peacefully came to its sunset on February 28, 2024.

Mary was born to Minnie and Brack Sanders, a lineage she honored and cherished throughout her life. She now reunites with her beloved parents and siblings/ Lindsey, Leonard, Harry, and Lucille, who preceded her in transition.

Mary’s faith was steadfast, and her devotion to the Bethel A.M.E. Church of the Burdick community was unwavering. Within its walls, she served with humility and grace, holding numerous roles that reflected her dedication to her community and her deep spirituality. From Sunday School teacher to Stewardess, from Trustee to Missionary, Mary’s commitment was evident in every task she undertook. Her love for the harmonious strains of organ music was matched only by her own ability to create melodies on the piano, a skill she cultivated with passion.

A beacon of generosity and joy, Mary touched countless lives with her kindness. Her impact extended beyond the church walls; as a retired teacher, she shaped young minds with wisdom and care at the Smith-Ridge one room school. Mary’s pursuit of knowledge led her through the halls of Kentucky State College and Campbellsville College, where she graduated with degrees in Business Administration and Accounting. Together with her husband Samuel, she managed a thriving boating business, demonstrating her business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.

For 72 years, Mary shared a profound love with her late husband Samuel. Together, they raised a family filled with love and devotion. While she is preceded in death by her sons: Joseph Samuel, Charles Walter, and Bruce Ambrose Robinson, Mary’s legacy lives on through her daughter, Dr. Faye Robinson-Davis, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even a great-great-grandchild.

Mary’s extended family includes cherished sisters-in-law Lena Stiggers, Madelyn Dudley, and Rachel Taylor, her best friend and cousin, Dorothy Hall as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. Among them, she held a special place in her heart for Stefan Taylor, Rev Joe Richardson, and Rev. James Washington, whose companionship and support brought her immeasurable joy. She found solace in the loving care of her niece, Pastor Doretha Sanders, whose selfless service was a source of comfort and inspiration.

Mary will be remembered for her wisdom, her laughter, her radiant smile, and her gentle spirit. Her culinary talents were legendary, bringing joy and nourishment to all who had the privilege of tasting her meals. As we mourn her passing, let us also celebrate the legacy of love and compassion she leaves behind.

In honoring Mary’s memory, let us strive to embody the kindness, generosity, and unwavering faith that defined her life. Though she may have bid farewell to this earthly realm, her spirit will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, dear Mary, knowing that your legacy of love will endure for generations to come.
