Ralph Grider, 78, Adair County, KY (1946-2024)

Ralph Grider, of the Millerfield Community, of Adair County, passed away on Saturday, August 10, 2024. He was 78 years, 1 month, and 28 days of age.

Born in Adair County, on June 13, 1946, he was the son of the late Joe and Alta Etta Stargel Grider. Ralph was a farmer and a proud US Army veteran. He was an avid hunter and thoroughly enjoyed being outdoors. He loved to farm and graciously mowed the Millerfield Cemetery for over 20 years. In his pastime, he enjoyed going to church, and spending time with his family and friends. You would often find him watching his westerns, reading or doing his word search puzzles, as well as watching U of L college basketball games. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew and loved him.


Ralph is survived by his wife of 55 years, Glenda Richards Grider, of Columbia; his children, Charles (and Holly) Grider, of Leitchfield, and Pamela (and Bryan) Cundiff, of Campbellsville; his grandchildren, Presley Cundiff, Casey Cundiff, Cailey Blaire Cundiff, and Mercedes Duncan; his sister, Priscilla Kay McGowan; and a host of nieces, nephews, and several friends.

In addition to his parents, Ralph was preceded in death by his brothers, Howard Grider, Wayne Grider, and Charlie Grider.

Funeral services are 1:00 P.M. on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, at Bernard Funeral Home, with Brother Craig Huddleston and Brother Robert Knight officiating. Burial will follow in Humble Cemetery, with full military honors performed by the Russell County Honor Guard.

Visitation will be held from 10:00 A.M. until the time of services on Wednesday, at the funeral home.

Pallbearers will be Charles Grider, Jackie Grider, Bryan Cundiff, Scotty Hadley, Ryan Abrell, and James David Abrell.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations of sympathy be made to Humble Cemetery. Donations may be made at the funeral home.

Funeral arrangements for Mr. Ralph Grider are under the care and direction of Bernard Funeral Home.
