Clarence G. “CG” “Squeak” Collins, 86, was born on February 20, 1940, in Shawneetown, Illinois, and passed away peacefully at his home on June 23, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

CG was the oldest son of Kelly C. and Almira Dempsey Collins of Carmi, Illinois. He married the love of his life, Lynda Simmons, on May 7, 1966, in St. Clair, Michigan, beginning a marriage that would span six decades.

A man of deep faith, CG made his profession of faith and was baptized at Maunee Methodist Church in Maunee, Illinois.

He served as President of the Chamber of Commerce, helping attract and support numerous businesses in the area. He later became President of the Kentucky Oil and Gas Association and was instrumental in helping establish the Tennessee Oil and Gas Association. His contributions to the industry were recognized when he was named Tennessee Oilman of the Year.

CG remained deeply committed to Campbellsville College throughout his life, supporting student-athletes, participating in alumni activities, and serving as an announcer for countless sporting events. He also served on the Board of Trustees for Lindsey Wilson College. One of his greatest legacies was the encouragement, mentorship, and generosity he shared with others. He touched countless lives throughout Campbellsville, Corbin, Lexington, and many other Emmaus communities.

Several generations of athletes and fans will remember CG’s familiar voice from the announcer’s booth at Miller Park and Trace Creek. He was a steadfast supporter of local schools, churches, community events, fish fries, and charitable causes. He never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand.

CG is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Lynda Collins; his daughters, Kellie Bland (Billy), Susie Wilson (Shannon) of Campbellsville, and Natalie McVay (Allen) of Hopkinsville.

CG is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, William K. “Bill” and Connie Collins of Campbellsville, Kentucky. A host of nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends. CG was honored to open the doors of his home to many “bonus children” throughout his lifetime.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Kelly and Almira Collins, and his brother, Robert Warren Collins of Carmi, Illinois.

CG’s life was defined by faith, family, hard work, generosity, and a commitment to his community. His impact will continue to be felt through the countless lives he touched, the family he loved so dearly, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Doris Jean Arnold

Posted by on Jun 19, 2026

Doris Jean (Harden) Arnold, 93 years old, departed this life on June 19, 2026 at the Bengal Family Care Home, Campbellsville, KY. Doris was born May 5, 1933 in Yuma (Taylor County), KY. She was the daughter of Ed and Betty Jo Harden. December 26, 1950 she married former Navy airplane mechanic and farmer, Charles Wayne Arnold, of Knifley, KY. They were married 49 years before Charles preceded her in death in 1999. She is survived by her five children: Pam (and John) Hurtgen, Chuck (and Sandy) Arnold, Tonya (and Paul) Penick, John (and Lisa) Arnold, and Steve (and Kim) Arnold. She is survived by eight grandchildren: Eric (and Amanda) Hurtgen, Joe (and Rebecca) Hurtgen, Peter Hurtgen; Charlie (and Liz) Arnold; Wes (and Rachel) Penick; Katelyn (and Matthew) McCarol; Meleah Arnold; and Chelsey (and John) Stewart. She is survived by seven great-grandchildren: Phoenix and Hendrix Hurtgen; Frances and Ira Hurtgen; Jasper Arnold; and Claire and Clement McCarol. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Geraldine Arnold and Doretha Kilby, and by two brothers, Leroy and Morris Harden. She is survived by one sister, Laura White and husband, Raymond.

She professed faith in Jesus Christ and was a committed Christian servant and faithful worshiper. She loved her husband, her children, her home and farm, which she moved onto with Charles in 1953. She and Charles raised those five children, teaching them the value of a strong work ethic on a thriving family farm, raising cattle, hogs, chickens, corn, soybeans, and tobacco. Doris was a proud wife, mother, and homemaker, not only feeding her own family, but also workhands, extended family and friends, and the pastor and his family often for Sunday lunch after church. As the grandchildren grew older, they would regularly visit, knowing that grandma would cook them up something good and then sit down and share stories about her life. Doris and Charles always raised a big garden, which they shared with family, neighbors, and friends. Doris would endlessly can and freeze fruits and vegetables for her household for the coming year. Her freezer was usually filled to the top. She loved flowers, planting them all around the garden and house. She was also a skilled seamstress and loved quilting. Doris worked at Fruit of the Loom in Campbellsville for over twenty years. She began working there after a serious drought affected their farm income.

Doris loved God and his church.  She often assisted in children’s Sunday School, in the nursery, and (in summers) with Vacation Bible School. After Charles passed in 1999, Doris loved to attend weekly women’s prayer services at her church. One final note, when she tested as an eighth-grader to go into Taylor County High School, she placed second highest overall in the county. And, if you ever received a birthday or Christmas card from her, you know what beautiful handwriting she possessed. She was a beautiful, intelligent, godly, loving, and industrious woman, who is now present with her Lord.
