Wanda Lawless, of Jamestown, passed from this life Tuesday, August 29th, 2023, at Glen Ridge Health Campus in Louisville, KY. She was 87 years of age.

Born in Creelsboro on May 10th, 1936, she was a daughter of the late Lawrence R. Coffey and Lorayne Mann Coffey. Wanda was employed for many years at Russell Sportswear and Fruit of the Loom. After retirement, she pursued her love of farming, operating a dairy farm with her husband, RJ, for over 25 years. In 2009, she was presented the Women in Agriculture Award by the Russell County Conservation District for her contributions to the local agricultural community. Later in life, she provided caregiving services for many families in Russell County.

While her professional accomplishments were many, her most treasured roles were wife, mother, and grandmother. She was married to the love of her life, RJ Lawless, for sixty years until his death in 2009. She was a loving mother to her four sons and her granddaughter, Tiffany, whom she raised as her own child.

To know Wanda was to love her. She was known for her deep concern for those around her, strong work ethic, and radiant smile. She was an incredible cook, and her family looked forward to her delicious holiday spreads all year. She was a faithful member of Jamestown Christian Church.  
​
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, RJ, and her youngest son, Michael, as well as her sister, Gwendolyn Glover, and brother, Edwin Coffey.

Left to treasure her memory are her sons, Rodney Lawless (Kim) of Arizona, Ricky Lawless, and Ronnie Lawless, both of Jamestown; four grandchildren, Chris Lawless, Andrea Wilson, Renee Lawless, and Tiffany Bingham (Sean); five great-grandchildren, Hannah Wilson, John Grant Wilson, Leslie Turner, Chase Lawless, and Parker Bingham; one great-great granddaughter, Maya Wilson; and one soon-to-be-born great-granddaughter, Savannah Bingham.

Frank J. Metzmeier loved life.  He lived with a fierce determination to enjoy everything—big and small—and to improve the world he lived in.
​
His scientific curiosity made him a leader in his 44-year career as a dentist. In his unceasing effort to improve his skills and learn new things, he joined the Panky Study group where he made friends who were also dedicated to excellence.  He used his skills to help others by providing free dental care to children in need in the Taylor County School System.

Frank was a dedicated follower of Christ.  He attended Bethel First Presbyterian where he was part of the men’s study group and served as elder.  He adopted the adage, “Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words.” 
​
He was an avid outdoorsman and took seriously his commitment to care for creation.  Frank loved to fish and to hunt deer, birds, and squirrel. He was an enthusiastic gardener and shared any surplus vegetables with friends and neighbors.  He also enjoyed marathon sessions of canning tomatoes or making apple cider.   He used his resources to ensure that some of Taylor County would remain a wooded area.  

Frank lived by the words, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.”  This belief led him to take on several leadership roles including serving a term as the president of the Kentucky Dental Association, and serving on the Campbellsville City Council for many years. Frank loved ice cream and fireworks.  His 4th of July parties featuring both eventually grew into Campbellsville’s 4th of July celebration. 
​
Frank was dedicated to his friends and his family.  He was ready and willing to lend a hand at all times.  He set the example and frequently admonished his children and grandchildren to do what they loved and to do their best at it.

Frank Joseph Metzmeier is preceded in death by his mother, Mary Gore Metzmeier, aunt and uncle, Gladys and Elam Moss, and aunt Pauline Frize, all of Campbellsville.  He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Clara Lancaster Metzmeier of Campbellsville, brother, Don Gore Metzmeier of Campbellsville, children Dorothy Metzmeier Walker (John) of Clear Spring, MD; Mary Atwood Metzmeier of Cincinnati, OH; and Frank Joseph Metzmeier, Jr. (Trese Frowein) of Monticello, KY. He is also survived by grandchildren Frank Diego Metzmeier and Clara Coleen Marisol Metzmeier of Cincinnati, niece Lorraine Allen of Hurleyville, NY, and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Bethel First Presbyterian Church in Campbellsville, the Kentucky Dental Association, or the charity of the donor’s choice.
