Kenneth Haley Obituary
Ken was a retired teacher and coach from the Hamblen County School System and worked for the Morristown Parks and Recreation Department for 37 years. He was a faithful member of Buffalo Trail Baptist Church where he attended the Men's Sunday School Class. In 2000, Ken started the Rook Club at the Morristown Senior Citizens Center. He also delivered for the Meals on Wheels program. However, many of Ken's friends will fondly remember him for his kind nature and for his buying and selling produce.
Ken was preceded in death by his wife of 32 years, Janice Haley; parents, George and Lillie Leona Haley; brother Earl Haley; sisters, Rose Irene Riley and Jessie Ilene Overstreet, and Oma Fern Neely.
He is survived by his son, Jeff (Kelley) Haley of Dickson; grandchildren, Chase (Samantha) Haley and Bethani Lankford; great-granddaughters, Emma Carter and Savannah Matlock; great grandsons, Noah and Carter Lankford; sister, Norma Jean Moore; many nieces and nephews; special friends, Hank, Teresa, Aaron and Casey Smith, and Terry West.
The family will receive friends from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, Thursday, December 18, 2025, in the East Chapel of Allen Funeral Home. Funeral service will follow at 1:00pm with Reverend Dennis Jones officiating. Interment will follow in Hamblen Memory Gardens.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the staff of The Heritage Center and Smoky Mountain Home Health and Hospice.
