Coleman Moffett Obituary

Coleman Lynes Moffett, Sr., 82, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, the 10th of November 2023 at his home surrounded by his loving and adoring family. Born on the 11th day of June in 1941 in Anderson County, he was the son of the late Arthur Lee and Bessie Faye Taylor Moffett. In 1960, he married his high school sweetheart, Gertrude Bustle. Together, they enjoyed over sixty-three years. A retired employee of UPS of over twenty-nine years, he was a member of the Local 89 of the Teamsters Union in Louisville. He was also a former employee of the old Hardesty Shell Service Station in Shelbyville and at Hillerich and Bradsby in Louisville. His greatest sporting activities were hunting and fishing. He held the Guist Creek hybrid striper record of fourteen pounds, ten ounces, holding this record for a number of years, only until his great-grandson broke his record catching a seventeen pounder. His family takes comfort in the fact that a ten-point buck was taken with "Papa's" deer rifle on the opening day of deer season the morning after he went to heaven. "Thank you for the sign, Dad." In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one sister, Betty Jane Stratton.

His survivors include his wife, Gertrude Moffett of Shelbyville; his son, Coleman Lynes Moffett, Jr., and his wife, Robin, of Bagdad; his daughter, Tobie Lee Kemble and her husband, Chuck, of Shelbyville; his granddaughters, Jesse Moffett, Abigail Neal and her husband, Matthew, and Taylor Spinks and her husband, Clinton; his great-grandchildren, Peyton, Preslee, Parker, Piper, Henry, and one great-grandson due this February, Levi; his loving sisters, Ora Lee Warford of Louisville, Linda Faye Lacefield and Wilma Jean Tinsley and her husband, Bob, all of Shelbyville; his brother, Bobby Gale Moffett and his wife, Doris, of Montgomery, Alabama; and a host of nephews and nieces, all of whom were precious to him.
