Jeanette Smith, 78, Campbellsville, KY

 

Jeanette Smith, 78, of Campbellsville, KY peacefully departed this life at Norton Hospital in Louisville, KY on October 16, 2026.

 

Though her earthly journey has come to an end, the love she shared, the memories she created, and the lives she touched will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

 

Jeanette was a woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She enjoyed working puzzles, preparing delicious meals, and listening to the timeless sounds of old classic music. These simple joys brought comfort and happiness to her days, reflecting her appreciation for the little things that make life special. Above all, Jeanette treasured the time she spent with her children and her beloved dog, who brought her companionship, comfort, and unconditional love.

 

Jeanette was a faithful member of Bethel AME Church, where she worshiped and found fellowship until her health began to decline. Her connection to the church was an important part of her life, and her faith remained a source of strength and comfort.

 

Although her passing leaves a void that can never truly be filled, Jeanette’s family can find comfort in knowing that her love will continue to live on through the memories they hold dear. Her presence, her familiar ways, and the moments shared together will forever be treasured. The love of a mother, sister, grandmother, and friend never truly fades; it becomes a lasting part of the hearts of those she leaves behind.

 

Jeanette was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bobby Louis Smith; her parents, Phillip and Annabell Howard; two sisters: Veronica Howard Hackett and Tracy Howard; and four brothers: Lealzo Howard, Gordon Howard, Vincent Howard, and Arthur James Howard.

As we remember Jeanette, may her family find peace in the love she gave, strength in the memories they shared, and comfort in knowing that her life made a lasting difference. Though she will be deeply missed, her legacy of family, faith, and love will continue to live on through every life she touched.

 

Rest peacefully, Mrs. Jeanette Smith. Your earthly work is done, but your love will never be forgotten. May you find eternal peace in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

Carolyn Sue Lasley, 78, Greensburg, KY

 

Carolyn Sue Lasley, 78, daughter of the late Lawrence Reginald Lasley, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 18, 2026 at Green River Trails in Greensburg, KY.

 

Carolyn made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ at a young age, having been led to the Lord by her beloved father. Her faith remained a source of strength, comfort, and peace throughout her life. She often spoke of her father, who was the most influential person in her life, and cherished the memories they shared. Carolyn would proudly tell others that she was not afraid of dying because she knew she would be going home to her Heavenly Father and would one day be reunited with her daddy. She was forever grateful to her father for giving her the greatest gift of all—a relationship with God.

 

On October 23, 2023, Carolyn became a resident of Green River Trails, where she found much more than a place to call home. She found a family. Family is not always defined by blood, but by the people who show up, who stay, and who love us. The staff at Green River Trails became Carolyn's family, surrounding her with unwavering love, compassion, and companionship. They brought happiness and joy into her life, but perhaps the greatest gift was the immeasurable love and joy she gave them in return. Carolyn had a special way of touching the hearts of those around her, and the bonds she formed were genuine, meaningful, and deeply cherished.

 

Carolyn was a remarkable woman—strong-willed, fiercely independent, and never afraid to speak her mind. Yet beneath that spirited personality was one of the kindest and most compassionate hearts anyone could ever know. She loved fiercely, gave generously, and always looked for ways to brighten someone else's day. Carolyn rarely had an unkind word to say about anyone, choosing instead to show understanding and compassion, especially toward those who were struggling. She had an extraordinary ability to see the good in others and made those around her feel valued and loved.

 

Carolyn was also incredibly creative and talented. She enjoyed putting together puzzles and spent countless hours creating beautiful, colorful crafts adorned with her beloved jewels, often making them as gifts for others. She was an avid reader who especially enjoyed mysteries, and she treasured her father's Bible, which she kept in her room and read often.

 

Carolyn had a special love for animals, particularly tigers. One of her treasured experiences was a trip to the zoo last year, where she had the opportunity to see her favorite animals up close. She also enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including a delicious meal, especially chicken and dumplings, and, of course, her beloved Mountain Dew and snacks.

 

To know Carolyn was to love her. She was a bright and beautiful light in the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. Her laughter, her smile, her independent spirit, and the kindness she so freely shared will never be forgotten. Though her absence leaves an emptiness in the hearts of her Green River Trails family, the love she gave and the memories she created will remain with them always.

 

Carolyn leaves behind her beloved Green River Trails family, including two especially dear friends, Heather Smith and Chasity Pruitt, who held a special place in her heart.

 

In accordance with Carolyn's wishes, cremation will take place, and no formal funeral services will be held. A celebration of her life will be announced at a later date.

 

In lieu of flowers or donations, those wishing to honor Carolyn's memory are encouraged to carry forward the very things that made her so special: Be kind to one another, show compassion to those in need, love without hesitation, and above all, stay close to God.

 

Arrangements are entrusted to Gupton-Landrum Funeral Home in Greensburg.

Her family moved to Lexington in 1952 and she graduated from Henry Clay High School in 1956 as Valedictorian. Carole met Russell Glen Mobley in Chemistry class during her first semester at the University of Kentucky. On their first date in December they saw “Fantasia” at the Kentucky Theatre.

As commencement photos testify, by then she had given birth to four children: the twins Greg and Jeff (1957), Stephanie (1959), and Suzanne (1960). A fifth child, Joel, was born in 1966. Through the 1960's the family lived in Chevy Chase and Carole worked in retail pharmacy in Lexington. In 1971 they moved to Campbellsville where she lived for over four decades.

From 2000-08 Carole volunteered as executive assistant to Russ when he served in the Kentucky House of Representatives representing the 51st district (Taylor and Adair counties). Carole and Russ enjoyed travel all over the globe, especially annual trips to New York City for the latest Broadway productions. She dearly loved her friends and attended monthly lunches with her Henry Clay classmates.
