Thomas “Tom Dooley” Jeffrey Estes, 65, of Kings Mountain, passed away peacefully at the Jean Waddle Care Center on Sunday, June 1, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born on December 16, 1959, in Casey County, Kentucky, he was a son of the late Carlos and Edna Mae Banker Estes.

A skilled carpenter by trade and a storyteller by heart, Tom built more than just homes—he built a life grounded in hard work, deep love, and quiet generosity. Self-employed for over 40 years, Tom’s craftsmanship can be found in the beams and porches of houses scattered across the area, but his true legacy lives in the people whose lives he touched.

Beyond the job site, Tom was also a farmer at heart. Whether it was tending to his herd of cows, fixing fences, or rolling hay, he found peace in the land and enjoyed every moment. Farming wasn’t just a hobby- it was a way for him to stay connected to the rhythm of life, to hard work, and to the values he held dear.

Tom was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His family was his foundation, the center of everything he did. He taught his children how to swing a hammer, tell a good story, and lend a hand without expecting anything in return. His laughter filled every room, his stories never quite the same twice, and his heart always had room for one more.

Tom was the first to show up with a tool belt when a neighbor needed help, and the last to leave until the job was done. He never sought the spotlight, but in quiet ways, he made the world better—one act of kindness, one project, one story at a time.

He built with his hands, loved with his whole heart, and lived a life worth remembering.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 42 years, Teresa; their three children, Ashley (and Brad) Neat, Lindsey (and Eddie) Allen, and Sam (and Grace Clements) Estes; five grandchildren, Blayze Neat, Arabella Neat, Ben Estes, Bailey Allen, and Brooklyn Allen; two brothers, Bob (and Kaye) Estes, and Bill Estes; three sisters, Donna (and Shawn) Westfall, Carol (and Albert) Wimsatt, and Denise Spears; a host of nieces and nephews; and a wide circle of friends and neighbors who will miss his steady presence and wisdom.

He is preceded in death by four brothers, Jim Phelps, Jesse Estes, Howard Estes, and Teddy Phelps; and four sisters, Betty Ann Phelps Pettyjohn, Dixie Estes Anderson, Faye Estes Durham, and Betty Sue Estes Holt.

The memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Friday, June 6, 2025, at McKinney-Brown Funeral Home with Bro. Linville Hatter and Randy Watts officiating.

Burial will follow in Middleburg Cemetery.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. on Thursday, June 5, 2025, and from 12:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. on Friday, June 6, 2025, at McKinney-Brown Funeral Home.

Memorial contributions may be made to Walltown Christian Church and/or the Jay Price Scholarship Fund (Casey County Bank).

He was a judge at “Judgement House” productions at First Baptist Church of Liberty, where he was also a deacon, for several years. He was gentle and soft-spoken, unless he was in the judge’s seat.

He was an avid UK basketball fan. Don’s favorite book was the Bible, and he had many nights of devotion with his family. His favorite place to wander was the Great Smoky Mountains with his sweetheart, Anna. His favorite food was anything that Anna had cooked. He also enjoyed fishing and squirrel hunting. He had countless adventures going on fishing trips as a family to Dale Hollow, KY Lake, or Lake Cumberland.

Per Anna’s wishes, donations in Don’s memory may be made to the First Baptist Church of Liberty. To truly honor his memory, we urge you to catch a ballgame with your son, take a walk in the woods with your granddaughter, tell a good story, take a trip with your sweetheart, share a good laugh with a friend, or most of all- share the love of Jesus in all that you do.

Don wished to thank Crystal Littlepage and all of his wonderful caregivers at Redbanks Colonial Terrace in Sebree, who loved him so deeply for the past three and a half years.

Phyllis Ruth Vannoy, 78, of Nicholasville, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at her home with her loved ones by her side.

Born on August 25, 1946, in Corbin, Kentucky, she was a daughter of the late Jack T. and Marie Goodin Scalf.

Many years ago on a trip home with her sister Peggy, Phyllis met the love of her life, Gerald Vannoy. They married on August 2, 1965, in Jellico, TN, and their love story would last almost sixty years. Their love story would include travel, adventure, and both good and bad times but through it all, they had each other. From this union would bring three children, a son, Jimmy (Jennifer) Vannoy; a daughter, Missy (Derek) Benge; and a second son, Jeremy Vannoy, who preceded her in death much too soon on November 9, 2023. She is also survived by her grandchildren who called her “Mamaw,” who will always remember her for drinking diet coke and using her flyswatter. Those beloved grandchildren are as follows: Trinity, Shelby, Clay, Serena, Mason, Sydney, Peyton, Taylor, and Charlie; and great-grandchildren, Zander, Emerson, Abrena, and Archie George.

Other survivors include a brother, Gary (Norma) Scalf; a sister, Vicki (David) Skrimager; and a brother-in-law, Doyle Vannoy.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her sister, Peggy Vannoy, who was married to Doyle Vannoy.

Phyllis was a quiet woman, but her bright eyes and infectious grin could light up any room. She often chose to be quiet with her iPad or book in hand, sitting and reading for hours. She loved playing cards, watching sports, sleeping in, staying up late, and watching her game show network. With her military husband Gerald, she had many adventures in places such as Germany, Holland, Colorado, and Oklahoma. Gerald and Phyllis loved being together and it was a rare occurrence to see them apart. She did many things for her husband and for the veterans. Phyllis also enjoyed traveling with her sisters and together they were always up for a good time. Her home was known for warmth, laughter, love, and good food. At a moment’s notice, Phyllis could always prepare a good meal. Their home was the site of many family and holiday gatherings.

She was an independent and strong woman that loved her family with a passion. Phyllis was a member of Cold Springs Baptist Church, where they would attend when she was able.

She was a shining example of love, kindness, and generosity. She was a fighter, and her family considers themselves better people for knowing her. She will be deeply missed.
