Kenneth E. (Gene) Maupin, 91, passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, surrounded by his daughters.
Gene was born to John Chester and Jennie Lee Maupin on August 12,1929, in Louisville. He was a 1947 graduate of Dupont Manual High School. He met the love of his life, Patsy Murphy, at Gremlin Corner Teen Club, and they were married May 28, 1949.

He loved his girls and grandchildren dearly. Gene had a passion for golf and had many great days with his Thursday golfing buddies. He was a member of Southeast Christian Church and served in the National Guard.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents and his loving wife Patsy.
He is survived by daughters, Gail Schank (David), Linda Tewell (Terry), and Gena Horn; grandchildren, Sarah and Emily Schank, Shelley and Michael Tewell, Baylee and David Horn; and his brother, John Maupin (Martha). Special thanks to Brenda Daniels for her care, humor, love and devotion.
