Charles Russell Cox of Elk Horn, son of the late Edgar Cox and Nellie Mae Watson Cox, was born October 25, 1932 in Taylor County, Kentucky. He died at 5:50 P.M., Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at his home in Elk Horn at the age of 93.
He professed faith in Christ and was the pastor of ElkHorn Tabernacle as well as an online community of believers. He worked at Union Underwear for 17 years and then opened Cox’s Body Shop where he fixed and rebuilt vehicles until he began preaching full time.
Charles united in marriage to Nellie Mae Wagoner February 19, 1952 and they shared 75 wonderful years together. They loved to garden and go “antiquing” in their younger years.
He was strong, hardworking and filled with faith. He loved his church and the people he met during the time they traveled to other churches to preach the gospel. His life spoke loudly. He lived exactly what he preached. He was admired and an advisor to many.
He enjoyed hunting squirrels and fishing with his sons and friends. He was the kind of man who knew how to fix just about anything. If something was broken, he’d find a way. If someone needed help, he’d show up. He had a steady strength about him that was rooted and grounded like a tree that could not be moved. He truly was one of a kind, and the footprint he left behind will not be forgotten. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the message he stood for.
Besides his wife, Nellie Mae Wagoner Cox of Elk Horn, Charles is survived by two sons and one daughter: Gary Cox and wife, Linette and Larry Cox and wife, Debbie of Campbellsville and Melinda Neal and husband, Kenneth of Elk Horn; eight grandchildren: Shane Cox and wife, Ronna, Bethany Cox, Hannah Borlovan and husband, Josh, Ivy Neal and Lily Neal of Campbellsville, Ryan Cox and wife, Wendy of Indiana, Moriah Johnson and husband, Andrew and Chloe Johnson and husband, Levi of Ohio; twelve great-grandchildren: Peyton Cox and wife, Jordann, Karlie Cox, Kendall Cox, Malachi Cox, Savvy Cox, Callie Cox, Josiah Borlovan, Banks Borlovan, Bowen Borlovan, Sunny Borlovan, Thea Johnson and Finn Johnson; one great-great-grandchild, Boone Cox; several nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends. Charles was also preceded in death by one brother and four sisters: Rodney Cox, Opal Wood, Ruby Wood, Virginia Gabehart and Ina Spalding.

Geraldine Goff Jones, born January 2, 1934, in Green County Kentucky, lived a life rooted in faith, family, and unwavering strength. She was the daughter of Homer and Eva Bennett Goff and carried their values with her throughout her life.
On January 30, 1952, Geraldine married the love of her life, Henry Milton Jones Jr., beginning a lifelong partnership built on devotion and hard work. For nearly 60 years together, they created a home centered around their church, family, and community.
On March 25, 2026, Geraldine was called to her heavenly home. She was preceded in death by her husband, Milton; her sons, Jason Jones and Paul Jones; her daughter-in-law, Tammy Jones; her brother-in-law, John Wagster; and her brothers, Donald and Glenn Goff.
She is survived by her daughter, Sharon (Brian) Harris; her grandchildren, Carly Davis, Sara (Meong) Kwak, and Ben (Ely) Harris-Medina; her chosen grandson, Neil Hooper; and her cherished great-grandchildren, Henry and Catalina Harris-Medina, and Oliver and Millie Kwak. She is also survived by her sister, Phyllis Wagster; her brother, DuWayne (Della) Goff; and her sister-in-law, Ellen Goff, as well as a multitude of friends and extended family. The family is deeply grateful to all of the loving caregivers who provided Geraldine with such dedicated and compassionate care over the years, particularly Hosparus Health, Pat Simpson, and Karen Corbin.
A woman of many talents and deep faith, Geraldine spent her life as a dairy farmer, homemaker, and ezer kenegdo—a steadfast helper and partner in every sense of the word. She faithfully served her church family at Friendship Baptist Church for many years as a Sunday school teacher, Women’s Missionary Union leader, and Vacation Bible School volunteer. She also graciously ensured that the inside of the church was kept immaculate for all attendees. In addition to not only providing services at her own house of worship, she made sure to celebrate the life of Jesus with those who were not able to attend.
A 1952 graduate of Taylor County High School, she remained connected to her classmates, faithfully attending and organizing reunions throughout the years. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures—sewing, gardening, reading, and cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats, and she never rejected a little piece of chocolate. She also took pride in feeding the masses and everyone from farm hands, to family, friends, and beyond. After taking a step back from milking, she especially enjoyed riding her lawn mower, ensuring that her lawn was professionally maintained. Nobody could quite maintain it the way she could, and she wasn’t shy about letting them know.
Known for her quick wit and spirited personality, Geraldine was small and sassy, with a heart of gold. She never had an enemy, though she certainly put a few burrs in people’s saddles along the way—always with honesty and a touch of humor.
Her life was a testament to love, resilience, and faith. And now, as her tombstone gently reminds us, “He maketh me lie down in green pastures,” she rests in perfect peace—home at last, in the care of the Shepherd she faithfully followed.

Jasper “Jack” Hamlin, a resident of Campbellsville, KY, was born April 19, 1934 in Martin’s Fork (Smith) Harlan County, KY to James Floyd Hamlin and Jennie (Hensley) Hamlin. He passed away into Jesus’ arms and his eternal heavenly home lovingly surrounded by his family on March 23, 2026 at age 91.
Jack was a true Believer in Jesus and faithfully served Jesus’ church for over 65 plus years. He dearly loved his family and loved his country, having honorably served four years active duty in the U. S. Air Force. Jack retired from Ford Motor Co. with 30 years of service.
He was affectionately known as Grandpa, Pap-paw, or Mountain Man to his grandchildren and great grandchildren. The Mountain Man moniker came from his love for the outdoors (most fall days he was on the side of a hill digging ginseng) and the simpler things in life. Jack loved to garden and grow flowers of which many local doctors’ offices were graced in the summer because of his green thumb.
He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Patsy (Owens) Hamlin. Children: Don (Jody) Hamlin, Campbellsville, KY; Donna (Bill) Hayes, Cecilia, KY; Ed (Pam) Hamlin, Lawrenceburg, KY. Grandchildren: Emily (Dusty) Snyder; Kyle (Tess) Hamlin; Danielle (Brandon) Willcut; Hannah (Matt) West; Matthew (Cari) Hamlin; Luke (Jackie) Hamlin; 14 great grandchildren; and preceded by one granddaughter, Erin, who he is now re-united with in heaven. Also surviving are sisters: Dora (Randy) Fee, Rose Hill, VA; Karma Thomas, Ewing, VA; and brother, JR (Virginia) Long, Ewing, VA; many nieces, nephews, and his loving church family, Raikes Hill Baptist Church.
He was preceded by his parents; sisters: Edith, Frances, Ethel, Stella, Oma and Macie; and brothers: Arnold, Jesse, Howard and twin brother, Brady, (Jack, along with Brady, were known among the family as the “gold dust twins” for their love of metal detecting).
The family would like to thank Hosparus Health Green River for their care during Jack’s recent declining health.
Visitation is from 10:00 A.M. – 12:30 P.M., Thursday, April 2, 2026 with the funeral at 12:30 P.M., Thursday, April 2, 2026 at Parrott & Ramsey Funeral Home, Campbellsville, KY. Jack’s wishes were for his grandsons: Chaplain (CPT) Kyle Hamlin, United States Army and Chaplain (CPT) Luke Hamlin, United States Army (Reserve) to conduct his funeral. Kyle and Luke will be assisted by Jack’s dear friend and fellow church member, Jim Cheatham.
Interment will be at Lebanon National Cemetery with full military honors by the Marion County Veterans Honor Guard.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Galilean Children’s Home, Liberty, KY, or the International Mission Board (SBC), Richmond, VA.
