Wyman N. Freeman, 85, of Symsonia, Kentucky, passed away at 13:37 hrs. Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at his residence, surrounded by his children.
He was born on July 20, 1940, in Symsonia to the late Aubrey Freeman and Veatrice Carter Freeman. Wyman retired from the United States Postal Service. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army, where he served in the 320th Field Artillery Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
An avid, lifelong fan of Kentucky basketball, Wyman beautifully blended his love for the game with his love for nature. He deeply enjoyed being outdoors, meticulously maintaining exactly sixteen backyard hummingbird feeders-each one affectionately named after a team in the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16.
He is survived by his daughter, Wendy (David) Bliss of Paducah, Kentucky; two sons, William (Stacey) Freeman of Paducah, Kentucky, and Tony Freeman of Mayfield, Kentucky; step-daughter, Karon Walters of Paducah, Kentucky; step-son, Robert (Cindy) Walker of Paducah, Kentucky; sister, Sharon Ellington of Hardmoney, Kentucky; nine grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren.
Wyman was preceded in death by his wife, Yvonne Odom Freeman; his sister, Genevieve Bell; and his parents.
