Malcolm Howard Obituary
He was a native of Whitesville, served in the U.S. Air Force and was a member of St. Brigid Catholic Church, where he was a cantor, lector and served on Parish Council. He was a lifelong Catholic and had a deep love of his faith. Mac was a Kentucky Colonel, a beekeeper and a volunteer beekeeper at Bernheim Forest. He loved to collect, trade and gift pocket knives, loved jeeps and never met a stranger. Mac loved to travel, spend quiet time in nature and spoil his family's pets.
He was preceded in death by his parents, J. L. and Mary Elve Payne Howard; and all his eight siblings, Francis, Louis, David, Joseph, Steven, Clifton and John C. Howard and Marcella Schepers.
Survivors include his wife of 50 years, Martha Bryan Howard; three daughters, Lisa (Kevin) Lowe of Elizabethtown, Jenny (Jacob) Owen of Lawrenceburg and Kristi (Tony) Rogers of Alexandria, Virginia; and six grandchildren, Audrey (Phillip) Richards, Brittany Lowe, Theron Lowe, Alaina Rogers, Austin Rogers and Birch Owen.
The funeral is at 11 a.m. Monday, June 21, at St. Brigid Catholic Church with the Rev. Dan Lincoln officiating. Burial follows in St. Brigid Cemetery.
Visitation is from 1:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday and continues at 9 a.m. Monday at Brown Funeral Home in Elizabethtown. There will be a prayer vigil service at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Martha and Family--
I was saddened to read about Mac's passing. I didn't know him but he sounded like was a true man of God and nature and of exploring the world, and most of all, he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and comfort.

Mackie, as we called him, and his family were friends of my family. He and Cricket called me Rabbit since my brother told them that was my name.
