Frank Ray Owen

Frank Ray Owen, a devoted family man, accomplished entrepreneur, and avid fisherman, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2026, in Louisville, KY, with his loved ones by his side. Born on September 28, 1952, in Louisville, Frank’s life was marked by determination, intelligence, and a deep love for those closest to him.

Frank attended Charlestown High School and later earned certifications through Miller Electric and Lincoln Electric for welder and generator service and repair. Despite not completing high school, his drive and entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Owen's Repair Service Inc., a business he co-owned and operated successfully for 41 years, with his wife, until his retirement in 2022. Serving the Louisville and southern Indiana communities, Frank took great pride in building and sustaining his company through hard work and dedication.

A true man of passions, Frank was a proud member of the Charlestown Anglers Fishing Club and a tournament fisherman for at least 30 years. He delighted in fishing, especially at Patoka Lake, where he cherished time spent on his bass boat enjoying the thrill of speed. Fishing was not just a hobby, but a cherished pastime he loved sharing stories about.

Frank’s personality was marked by a blend of intelligence and straightforwardness, complemented by a generous heart that often extended to others. He was driven and caring, with a no-nonsense approach to life but always willing to engage in conversation, particularly about his beloved fishing adventures. His pride in starting and growing his own business without a traditional educational path was a testament to his resilience and determination.

Beyond his work and hobbies, Frank was a faithful member of Revolution Assembly of God Church and North Charlestown Church of God. He enjoyed simpler pleasures such as watching classic television shows like Gunsmoke, The Golden Girls, and Mama’s Family, as well as movies starring John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Frank also had a fondness for anything Chevy, classic cars, motorcycles, and dining out at Longhorn Steakhouse.

Frank's greatest pride and joy were his family. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Ina Hodge-Owen; their children, Amy Owen-Kriel, Frank Ray Owen Jr. (Amanda), and Jennifer Nicole Owen; as well as his treasured grandchildren, Gavin Kriel, Gabrielle Owen, Conner Owen, and Grayson Owen. He also leaves behind his sisters Nona (Stephen) Payne, Norma Cash, and Frances (Roger) Goforth, along with numerous brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and friends who will remember him fondly.

Frank was preceded in death by his daughter, April Dawn Owen; his mother, Hilda Keith-Skaggs; his father, Gilbert "Buddy" Owen, brothers Gilbert "Jr" Owen, Danny Owen, and David Owen; sister Kathy Owen; his stepfather Charles Skaggs, his mother-in-law, Mary Hodge and brother-in-law Richard Cash.

Among Frank’s most treasured accomplishments were being named Charlestown Angler of the Year in 1991, winning the Harvest Homecoming fishing tournament, and most importantly, watching his children and grandchildren thrive and excel in their lives—an enduring legacy he held close to his heart.

Visitation will be at Grayson Funeral Home in Charlestown, IN, on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, from 4 PM to 8 PM and again on Thursday, June 4 from 11 AM to 2 PM, with his Life Celebration immediately following. Burial will follow in Crace Cemetery.

Frank Ray Owen’s life was one defined by love, hard work, and a passion for both family and fishing. He leaves behind a legacy of perseverance, warmth, and cherished memories that will continue to inspire all who knew him.

The family would like to offer a special note of thanks to Hosparus Health, Norton Brownsboro Hospital and the IR Department of Norton Clark.

Jill Moore

Jill Moore, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and devoted nurse, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2026, in Charlestown, Indiana. She was born on December 6, 1955, in Olive Hill, Kentucky, and lived a life defined by compassion, generosity, and unwavering love for her family.

Jill graduated from West Carter High School in 1973 and went on to build an extraordinary nursing career spanning more than 45 years. Jill retired in 2024, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional care and compassion. Many patients specifically requested her, a reflection of the trust, comfort, and kindness she brought to every interaction. To many cancer patients and their families, Jill was more than a nurse—she was a source of comfort, encouragement, and hope during some of life’s most difficult moments.

While Jill was a remarkable nurse, her most cherished roles were being called, a Wife, Mom, Mamaw, Grandma, and Gigi. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her family.

She shared 50 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Brent Moore, and took immense pride in her children, Trent Moore (Amy) and Kayla Williams (Daniel). Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren, Amanda Moore, Ashley Vellinger (Nik), Hanna, Hadley, and Ellison, and her great-grandchildren, Rhett and Ruby.

Jill was preceded in death by her parents, George and Madge Miller, and her brother, Larry Miller. She is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sister Jen Very, brother Ronnie Miller, sister-in-law Edna Miller, and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Those who knew Jill will remember her warm smile, positive outlook, and generous spirit. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures— “chopping the block” in her red Volkswagen Beetle back in the day, searching for treasures at thrift stores and antique shops, traveling to the Smoky Mountains and Michigan with her husband, cheering on the horses, and entering sweepstakes. She was also a gifted cook who loved bringing people together around her table, making sure no one ever left her home hungry.

More than anything, Jill will be remembered for the kindness she showed to everyone she met. Whether caring for patients, supporting friends, or loving her family, she gave of herself freely and wholeheartedly. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched through her compassion, strength, and love.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Grayson Funeral Home, 893 High Street, Charlestown, Indiana. Additional visitation will be held on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Globe Christian Church, 79 Church Street, Olive Hill, KY. Her funeral service will be held on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the church.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Croix Hospice. Memories and messages of support may be shared at www.GraysonFuneralHome.com.

Bret Michael Stubblefield

Bret Michael Stubblefield, a beloved artist and cherished family man, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2026 in Charlestown, Indiana. Born on September 7, 1959. Bret lived a life marked by creativity, humor, and deep devotion to those he loved.

Bret had a unique spirit that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Known for being the life of the party and a natural jokester, his favorite saying "look into my eye!' captured his straightforward and genuine approach to life. He was free-spirited and embraced every opportunity to forge new friendships, never meeting a stranger. This warmth and humor made him well liked by many.

Throughout his life, Bret found joy in his artistic pursuits, expressing himself through painting, drawing, and intricate carvings. His passion extended into his career, where he was particularly passionate about creating and hanging custom signs for stores-a testament to his talent and dedication.

Bret's memories were rich with moments shared around campfires, Fourth of July celebrations, and the laughter-filled times spent with his nieces, nephews, and cousins as they grew up. A family-oriented man, he treasured every gathering and held close the bond that connected them all. One of his most meaningful experiences was traveling with his brother and sister to Mexico and California to spread their mother's ashes, a journey filled with love and remembrance.

His middle school days included a humorous chapter-earning the nickname "Pig Boy" after an unforgettable incident involving forgetting to feed the pigs and a mother pig followed him to school. This story is just one example of the lighthearted moment that highlighted Bret's unique personality. He also was affectionately nicknamed "Bob" by his nieces and nephews.

Bret is survived by his loving daughter, Brianna Paige Stubblefield; his caring brothers, Shawn (Rebecca) and Eric Trent Stubblefield (who has 5 children and 16 grandchildren); and his sister, Bridget Anson. He also leaves behind dear nieces and nephews, Brent Stubblefield, Nathan Stubblefield, Janiece Blackburn, Derek Stubblefield, Ashley Simms, Sarah Anson, Ashley Vatsula and Phillip Deal; great nieces and nephews, Mackenzie Stubblefield, Lucas Stubblefield, Frankie Blackburn, Nolan Blackburn, Emily Simms, Kaylin Bowman, Hannah Vatsula, Anthony Vatsula and Kimberely Deal. His loving cousins from California, Norma DePuccie, Cherrie Wheeler and many others. All of whom carry forward his legacy of spirit and kindness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Michael Stubblefield and Vaughn Emily Stubblefield, who undoubtedly shaped the remarkable man he became. He was also preceded by a brother Richard Michael Stubblefield.

Bret Michael Stubblefield's life was a vibrant tapestry of artistry, humor, and family devotion. Surrounded by his family at the time of his passing, he was at peace, leaving behind the indelible mark of a good man whose presence was a gift to all fortunate enough to know him. His memory will continue to inspire and brighten the hearts of his family and friends for years to come.
