Imogene Bailey Gabbert, 95, passed away on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 under the meticulous care of Morning Pointe East and Care Navigators/Hospice in Lexington, KY.

Imogene was married to James Edgar Gabbert of Adair County, Kentucky on April 10, 1948 and was happily married for 57 years until Edgar’s death in 2006. They both took their marriage vows seriously and lived a happy life together.

Imogene worked at Fruit of the Loom for 47 ½ years. She enjoyed her work immensely. She began her career at a sewing machine position and rose to an instructor for the last 28 years of her career. She often commented that helping people make a living and succeed at life brought her great joy. Her unit – the 5800 unit – was one of the highest producing units for many years. In some instances, her unit made the merchandise that was displayed in the Fruit of the Loom TV commercials. In her latter years of work, she was flown to other Fruit of the Loom plant sites to help train workers. She never tired of helping people.

Imogene’s greatest joy was her family. She was the mother of Dianne Gabbert Crouch – her only child. She enjoyed helping Dianne grow into adulthood, taking family vacations, hosting family gatherings with her extended family, and having leisure time on Green River Lake.

William Harbert Bates, III, 83, of Greensburg, KY, son of the late William Harbart Bates, Jr and Grace Martin Bates, was born on August 26, 1941 in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He departed this life on Friday, June 13, 2025 at his home with his wife by his side.

Most who loved and knew him affectionately called him “Buddy,” because he loved to laugh and make others laugh. His entrepreneurial spirit can be traced back to a story from his childhood. At the age of 10, his neighbor contracted with him to solve a woodpecker problem. The birds were destroying his wooden gutters. At the price of a quarter a piece, he started to help his neighbor with his problem. However, seeing the problem was too big to tackle alone, and being a budding entrepreneur, he subcontracted to his friends to give them half of the going rate.

As a graduate of the University of Mississippi with a degree in Accounting, Buddy established three business colleges before becoming an executive in the telecommunications industry.

He had made a profession of faith in Christ and attended Egypt Christian Church. He was a force within himself - kind, giving and loving. Buddy enjoyed life to the fullest from a young boy throughout his adult life as he traveled the world and made countless friends. His giving nature is best represented by his devotion of over 40 years as a Hospice volunteer and a Court Appointed Special Advocate. Buddy was an avid reader and loved listening to Delta Blues. He died the way he lived, appreciating all of life’s blessings even up to the very end of his 83 years on this Earth.
