Funeral services will be held at 2:00 P.M. Saturday, May 7, 2016, in the Hart Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Don Farmer officiating.  Burial will follow in Corinth Cemetery with Gary Disney II, Lance Howard, Wes Ozment, Ray Young, Glen Rogers, Roy Keyes, and Harold Hensley serving as pallbearers.

The family will receive friends from 12:00 P.M. until the funeral hour at 2:00 P.M. Saturday at Hart Funeral Home, Inc., located at 1011 Master Street in Corbin.
