Lottie Lee Robinson

Lottie Lee Robinson, age 95, of Louisville, KY went home peacefully into the presence of God on October 9, 2026 at Nortons Hospital leaving behind a life rich with love, grace, and cherished memories. She was a light in the lives of many – a gentle presence whose kindness, strength, and faith will continue to echo in every heart she touched.

Lottie was born on January 26, 1931, in Louisville, KY, she entered this world as a blessing to the late J.D. Harris and Mamie Harris and moved through life with a generous heart and a spirit rooted in love, grace, and trust in the Lord Jesus. In addition to her parents, Lottie was proceeded in death by her husband of 16 years, Frank Robinson and her son, Jonathan Robinson. As well as, her siblings King James, Mildred, Freddie, Arneida, Raymond, and Russell Harris. Her family was her treasure, and in the loud quiet beauty of shared meals, familiar stories, and everyday moments, she reflected a faith-filled legacy that will never fade.

For over 50 years, Lottie served in her church as a minister of music, Sunday school teacher, a congregational choir director, an artist and very animated storyteller. Not to mention her extreme detailed on current events and the word of God. Her love lived in the little things - the laughter around the table, the wisdom shared in simple words, the comfort of her presence, and the steady way she gave of herself cleaning greens at the kitchen sink. Though her footsteps are no longer hears, we take comfort in knowing she is now sweeping through that city, and the path she walked remains bright, guiding those who loved her with the memory of her grace.

Mama, (As she was affectionately called), lives on through her children, Terry, April, Patricia, Toni, Michelle, and Lena; and a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren who knew her well and will carry her story, her spirit, and her love into the generations to come. May they find comfort in the promise of God's peace and in the many memories that remain.

Though she will be deeply missed, her love remains - like a song beautifully carried forward, like a light that does not dim, like a blessing that continues to bloom. Until that heavenly reunion, her family and friends will hold close the inheritance of salvation, prayer, gratitude, and love. With the closing of this reading, we want to leave you with some of Mama's favorite words: Oh, my stars, oh for heaven sakes, Charity begins at home and lastly Go with God.

Visitation will be held from 11:00am until 12:00pm on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Clark Legacy Center, Versailles Rd. Funeral Service for Lottie will be held at 12:00pm on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Clark Legacy Center, Versailles Rd. Reception will follow.

Mark Anthony Wright

May 17, 1959 – October 6, 2026

Frankfort – Mark Anthony Wright, 67, beloved husband of Patty Ann Dunn Wright, passed away on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. He was born in Shelbyville on May 17, 1959, to the late Robert "Bobby" Wright Jr. and Anna Jane Shouse Wright.

Mark was a hard worker and a proud business owner. In 1997 he founded Dunn-Wright Electrical Inc., which he owned and ran with skill and integrity for nearly three decades. But the people who knew him best will remember that Mark's heart was always with his music.

Mark was a musician through and through. He was happiest with a guitar in his hands, and he loved writing songs that came straight from his life and the people he loved. Performing gave him a joy he couldn't find anywhere else. Whether he was playing for a full room or a few close friends, Mark gave each song everything he had. Some of his most treasured memories came from the time he spent making music with his son, Dylan. Sharing the stage, the long drives, and the late nights forged a connection that went far beyond the songs they played. Those days were among the proudest of Mark's life.

Mark also loved the game of baseball and loved helping young players grow. In his years as a private baseball coach, he shared his knowledge, patience, and encouragement with many young athletes. He taught them to work hard, to believe in themselves, and to love the game as much as he did. Many of the players he coached will carry his lessons with them on and off the field.

Mark enjoyed horse racing, and he was never more at home than when he was surrounded by the excitement of a day at the track.

Mark loved his family deeply, and few things brought him greater comfort and happiness than spending time with his daughter Alicia. Whether together in person or talking for hours on the phone, those moments were among his most cherished. She was his comfort, his joy, and a special piece of his heart. Their bond was a reflection of the deep and unwavering love he held for his family.

Mark could not have lived his life so fully without his wife, Patty. She was his partner in every sense, cheering him on through every adventure, every performance, and every new dream he chased. When Mark faced his hardest fight, his battle with cancer, Patty stood by him with endless strength and devotion. She cared for him tirelessly, day and night, with a love that never wavered. Her compassion brought him comfort, dignity, and peace through his final days. Mark's family is forever grateful for the love and care she gave him, and they know he was grateful for it every single day.

In addition to his wife, Patty, Mark is survived by his children, Alicia Frink (Joshua), Michelle Ali, Nathan Wright, and Dylan Wright (Kathryn); and his grandchildren, Autumn, Allyson, Sasha, Sydney, Olivia, Penelope, and Barrett, who brought him great joy.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Allen Wright.

Mark's music, his laughter, and his love will live on in all who knew him.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at Clark Legacy Center, Versailles Road.

Linda Jean Moreland

Linda Jean Moreland, 76, wife of Larry Moreland, passed away on Saturday, September 12, 2026. She was born in Chicago, IL, on March 23, 1950, to the late Clair Wilbur Reynolds and Eleanor Grace Lorenz.

In addition to her loving husband, Larry, to whom she had been married for 54 years, Linda is survived by her daughters, Melissa Jean Montgomery (Tommy), Mary Beth Bauer (Nick); her son, Michael Allen Moreland (Robert DiTomassi); her sister, Laura Reynolds (Ray Doerrer); her grandchildren, Tessa Montgomery, Ellie Montgomery, Lucy Bauer, and Leah Bauer; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Linda and Larry moved to Versailles, KY, in 1985, where they built a beautiful ranch home in which to raise their family. Linda was a crafter, a teacher, a cook, a seamstress—a true homemaker, but most of all, she was a devoted wife and loving mother. From Girl Scouts to swim meets to youth retreats, Linda cared for her family in every possible way. She taught. She listened. She supported. She protected. And showed her children what it meant to love patiently with her time and devotion.

Eventually, her children grew up and started families of their own, whom she loved and cared for just the same. Linda’s gratitude, joy, and perseverance have been an example to all who knew her.

On the afternoon of September 12th, their granddaughter was on stage at the Twilight Festival performing in the Woodford County Orchestra. With family in attendance, Larry stayed home to be with Linda. As the orchestra played "I Will Always Love You,” a soft, cool breeze swept through downtown Versailles. It was just past noon. Linda passed at 12:10 pm. She lay peacefully in the home she and Larry built so many years before, now with a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories together.

Her Visitation will be held from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Versailles United Methodist Church, followed by a Memorial Service at 12:00 pm, with a luncheon afterwards.
