Kathy J. Haynes-Ellis, of Russell Springs, passed away Tuesday, June 7, 2022, at Fair Oaks Health and Rehabilitation, in Jamestown. She was 68 years of age.

Kathy was a former clerk at South Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation and a member of the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. She turned a hobby of growing flowers and herbs into a business of making handcrafted bath and body products, which she aptly named "Preserving Thyme." Kathy was also a member of the Sheltowee Artisan Guild. In her free time, she enjoyed boating and being out on the lake. Kathy was an animal-lover and enjoyed all of her "critters." She also had a deep love for her family and she will be missed by all that knew her.

Carol Perkins: A Playmate for Carol

Previous Column: The Queen

By Carol Perkins

"Uncle Guy, would you go to McDonald's and get me some pancakes?" my seven-year-old great-niece Taisley asked. She was visiting for a few days. I had a playmate. The next morning, I decided we needed a shopping day. As we went from one store to the next, she finally declared she was finished. She bought a purse and a pair of sunglasses. After lunch at Sonic, we went to the movie to watch "Sonic Two."

We loaded up on popcorn and slushes. Before the lights dimmed, she needed to go to the bathroom. "Come with me," she begged. Down the stairs, I hobbled. During the endless commercials and previews, she said, "Can I have another slushie?" She had drained the small one. By then, I had eaten most of her "child's" popcorn and wanted more so back down the stairs we go.
