Bernice “Bernie” Wayne Maupin, 88, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2026, at UofL Health–Jewish Hospital in Louisville Kentucky.
Born on May 14, 1938, in Gradyville, Kentucky, to Thomas and Bertha Maupin, Bernie lived a life marked by hard work, unwavering faith, and deep love for his family. He was the devoted husband of Leola Maupin, with whom he shared 66 wonderful years of marriage.

He is also survived by his grandchildren, Scott Blakeman and his wife, Danielle; Luke Maupin; Christopher Blakeman and his wife, Abi; Blake Maupin and his wife, Maggie; Hunter Maupin and his partner, Kristen Miles; and Hayden Maupin. He also leaves behind three cherished great-grandchildren, Silas Blakeman, Mila Blakeman, and Cade Maupin. In addition, he is survived by his brother, Phillip Maupin; his sister, Peggy Maupin; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his infant son, Jimmy Maupin; daughter-in-law, Bridget Maupin; and sister, Ortence Cunningham.
For more than 30 years, Bernie faithfully served as the Greenskeeper and Superintendent at Campbellsville Country Club. He took great pride in his work and earned the respect of everyone who knew him through his dedication, strong work ethic, and willingness to serve others.
Bernie was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and a faithful member of Beech Grove Baptist Church in Black Gnat, Kentucky. His faith was the foundation of his life and was evident in the kindness, generosity, and compassion he showed to everyone he met. He was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever someone was in need.
A gifted woodworker and gardener, Bernie enjoyed working with his hands and took pride in doing every job well. He loved golfing, hunting, spending time outdoors, and watching classic westerns on television. Family and friends could often hear him quoting commercials from Fox News or laughing as he said, “This ain’t my first rodeo.”
Above all else, Bernie loved his family and loved the Lord. His greatest joy was spending time with those he loved, and he leaves behind a legacy of faith, hard work, generosity, and unconditional love that will continue through the generations.
