Nancy Kenyon Finnell

Nancy Kenyon Finnell, age 84, of Louisville, Kentucky, and formerly of Paducah, Kentucky, passed away Friday, December 19, 2025, at Belmont Village Senior Living in Louisville, Kentucky.

She was born on March 15, 1941, to Melvin and Marie Gish Kenyon. Nancy was a proud alumnus of St. Mary’s High School, class of 1959, and furthered her education at Paducah Junior College.

Nancy retired from the Boehl Stopher & Graves Law Firm as a secretary after working 18 years at the Illinois Central Railroad. Together with her beloved husband, Jimmy, they enjoyed traveling to the historic streets of London, England, to the avenues of Rome, and the vibrant locales of Spain. They shared a love for culinary adventures, which led them to explore new and exciting places to eat, regardless of the distance.

Survivors include two sons, Richard (Ricky) Finnell and his wife, Lisa, of Louisville, Kentucky, and Anthony (Tony) Finnell and his wife, Bindu, of Mt. Prospect, Illinois; one grandson, Dillon Finnell; and one sister-in-law, Betty Finnell of Paducah, Kentucky.

Preceding her in death were her husband, Jimmy Finnell; one sister, Linda Chambers; and her parents.
