Jessie Delpha (Conrad) Dulworth, 99, of Breeding, KY died June 7, 2023 at the Hospice of Lake Cumberland, surrounded by love in the presence of her two daughters and two granddaughters. She was born in Breeding, on February 23, 1924 to the late Orbin and Georgia Jessie Conrad of Breeding, KY.
She was one of five children. Mrs. Dulworth grew up along West Fork Creek in Breeding and later lived for close to 50 years in Tampa, Florida. She was a homemaker and she and her late husband of 49 years, Elijah Buel Dulworth, spent almost two decades as “snowbirds,” traveling between their homes in Florida and Kentucky before making Kentucky their full-time home state again in 1999.
She was a devoted Christian whose faith shaped her life’s example of humility, kindness, and love. A lifelong fan of the gospels and gospel music, she had been a member of the Riverhills Church of God in Tampa and later the Columbia Church of God.
Friends and family who had the good fortune to enjoy her delicious country cooking often asked for seconds, thirds, and “more” helpings. Along with the pleasure of feeding people, she had enjoyed quilting, canning, and actively working in her garden and yard.
Along with her late husband, she was preceded in death by three brothers: Nelson, Stanley, and Sam; a sister, Reba Conrad Daniel; her son-in-law, Gerald Holt, and nephew, Kenneth Conrad.
