Corbett Cregar, 84, of Florence, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 9, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospice in Edgewood, Kentucky.
A proud U.S. Army veteran, Corbett carried his dedication, discipline, and love of life well beyond his years of service. He had a lifelong passion for golf-ready to play any course, any time-and in retirement, he made his home near a favorite course in South Carolina, where he spent countless happy days on the greens. Off the course, Corbett had a soft spot for animals, especially cats, who brought him great comfort and joy throughout his life.
He is survived by his daughter, Willow (Frank) Ross, and his grandchildren, Malina, Duncan, and Jillian. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Eleanore Cregar.
Per Corbett's wishes, there will be no services at this time. He will be laid to rest at Ridge Hill Memorial Park in Amherst, Ohio, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimer's Association in his memory.
