In Loving Memory of Kenneth Lloyd English and Myra Marie Abraham English

Kenneth Lloyd English and Myra Marie (Abraham) English were married for nearly 60 years and shared a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and devotion. Together, they raised two daughters, Sherry (English) Hale and Stacy (English) Darby, and were blessed with two wonderful grandchildren, Madelynn and Joshua Darby.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents, Jesse and LouElla English, and his brothers Jerry, Bob, Johnny, and Larry. He is survived by his sister, Glenda.

Myra was preceded in death by her parents, Jewell Benny Abraham and Dortha Abraham. She is survived by her brother, Benny Abraham, and his wife, Vicki, along with their daughter Sara and her family.

Myra went to be with her Lord and Savior on October 24, 2025, and Kenneth followed her home to heaven on November 5, 2025-just 12 days later, a true testament to their lifelong bond.

In their early years, Kenneth and Myra loved camping, fishing, and making cherished memories with their daughters, Sherry and Stacy. Kenneth was also known as a true "man of the grill," famous for his smoked pork. There was always something delicious cooking at their home, and their backyard pool was the center of countless family gatherings and happy times.

In their later years, Kenneth and Myra shared a passion for gardening. Kenneth especially loved tending his garden and was well known for his peppers. Together, they enjoyed canning peppers and tomatoes, looking up new recipes, and cooking meals for their family.

Kenneth and Myra were happiest when surrounded by the people they loved. Their marriage was a beautiful example of faith, love, and partnership. They will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew them
