Clyde Corey, age 88, of London, Kentucky passed away on Friday, November 14, 2025.
He leaves behind two children, Patricia Marion & husband Pat of Adrian, MI, Waylon Corey & wife Leigh Ann of Woolum, KY; three siblings, William R. Cobb of Woolum, KY, Martha Henison & husband John of Rome, GA, Perry Cobb of Green Road, KY; four grandchildren, Darcie Thompson, Corie Marion, Austin Corey & wife Skylar, Ashley Corey; two great grandchildren, Drayson Thompson, Dixon Thompson.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Hudson Corey; his parents, Floyd Corey & Martha Murphy Corey; his stepfather, Loyd Cobb; and by three siblings, Willie Corey, Georgie Howard, Virginia Hubbard.
Clyde was a devoted family man and friend to many. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, hard work, and generosity. He retired from National Standard after 37 years of dedicated service, where he was known for his steady work ethic and reliability.
Clyde had a deep love for horses and found joy in the simple pleasure of being around them. Above all, he loved his family fiercely and was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought, and his quiet acts of generosity touched countless lives.
He will be remembered for his big heart, his willingness to serve others, and the warmth he brought into every room. Clyde will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A funeral service honoring Clyde Corey will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. in the chapel of House-Rawlings Funeral Home with Joe Jones and Scott Hammons officiating. Interment will follow at the Corey Cemetery in Blackwater, Kentucky. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 beginning at 6:00 p.m. also at the funeral home. The pallbearers will be James Brown, Roger Corey, Austin Corey, Donnie Hudson, Jamie Lundy, and Joseph Sears. Honorary pallbearers are Roy Peek, Harold Beckner and Denver Mays. The family has entrusted House-Rawlings Funeral Home with the arrangements.
