Kenneth Russell Blakey, 75, of Russell Springs, KY passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, October 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born December 8, 1950 in Jamestown, he was the son of the late John Sidney and Susie Campbell Blakey.

Kenneth retired as a construction superintendent from Grayhawk in Lexington and thoroughly enjoyed working odd jobs at homes on Lake Cumberland. He was also honored with the title of Kentucky Colonel, a distinction bestowed upon him by Governor Paul E. Patton in 1995. Kenneth was of the Methodist faith.

Kenneth was a man of many talents and truly the definition of a “jack of all trades.” There wasn’t much he couldn’t do, and if something needed fixing, he was always the man for the job. On any given day, you could most likely find him tinkering around in his garage, mowing the yard, or working on his next project. Sitting still was never really his thing, and he always managed to find something that needed his attention.

Above all, Kenneth loved his family, and the title of “Dad” extended well beyond his own daughters. He shared 50 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Ann, and took great pride in his daughters and grandchildren.

Kenneth was a hardworking man who appreciated the simple things in life and had a personality that was entirely his own. His family will forever cherish the memories they made with him, the lessons he taught them, and all the little things that made him so special.

Known by many names -- Wanda, Jo, Joey, Mom, Mammy, Aunt Jo – she was loved by all. She was born in Adair County, Kentucky, and lived there until after high school when she moved to Washington, D.C., and then Louisville, Kentucky.

Joey and her sister were raised by a single mother, Verdie Hood, when such things were virtually unheard of. The three of them lived with Granny Loy surrounded by aunts, uncles, and many cousins. Above all, the three were bound together by fierce love and loyalty. Those early years left an indelible mark. Nothing made “Mammy” happier than to be surrounded by family and friends.

She married her high school sweetheart, Ronald Knight, in 1966. They started a family shortly thereafter. Three daughters followed by a lifetime of beautiful memories.
Joey and Ronnie were married for 58 years before his death.
 

In addition to being an adoring wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt, Joey worked for several years at General Electric. She later worked at Churchill Downs, enjoying the many
people she met each day.

Nothing brought Brenda greater happiness than her family. She cherished every moment spent with them and especially treasured being “Grandma or Nanma” to her grandchildren. They will forever have memories of her welcoming hugs, of licking the spoon after helping her stir fudge, and the sweet smells that were always coming from her kitchen as she baked them goodies. Raising her three boys was one of Brenda’s greatest joys. They will always fondly remember her pinto beans and cornbread and countless other homecooked meals enjoyed as a family around the table.

Through decades of dedicated nursing, Brenda left a legacy of healing and comfort to those she cared for. She held a special place in her heart for Shirley Carnahan and Bobbie Roy, who were more than just neighbors, but loyal friends who stood beside her as they together navigated many life’s joys and challenges over the last several years.
