Mr. Clifford I. Carnes of Campbellsville was born on Tuesday, February 14, 1928, in Russell County to the late Stanley and Lona (Holt) Carnes. He left this life to rejoice with the angels on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at the Grandview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Campbellsville. Mr. Carnes was 87 years, 11 months, and 13 days of age. As a young man, he earned a living as a carpenter and in machinery work, but his earthly passion was being a family man. He had a very close and special bond with all of his grandchildren. Outside of his family, his greatest love was his church. Early in life, he professed faith in Christ, and was a member of the God's Grace Church in Campbellsville. Mr. Carnes united in marriage to Mrs. Betty M. (Bryant) Carnes, who preceded him in death in 1997. Later, he united in marriage to Mrs. Vernice Faye (Mouser) Carnes, who survives.
