Lori Lynn Littlepage Leach Bratcher Keown, 62, of Centertown, Kentucky, passed away on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Ohio County Healthcare. She was born on July 29, 1963, in Evansville, Indiana.
Lori was a 1982 graduate of Fordsville High School and was a faithful member of New Assembly Church, where she lovingly taught Sunday School for sixteen years. She was employed by Stacey Chrysler in Owensboro, Kentucky, and previously worked at Riggins Grocery Store in Maryland.
Lori found joy in life’s simple blessings. She loved flowers, feeding the birds, playing bingo, cooking, attending church, and spending time fishing. Sammy always made sure she was able to enjoy one of her favorite pastimes—fishing. Despite life’s challenges, Lori never allowed a wheelchair to define her. Her faith, determination, and loving spirit were an inspiration to all who knew her.
Lori was preceded in death by her adoptive parents, James and Mary Jane Talbott Leach; her birth parents, Harold Ray Littlepage and Yetta Sue McLaughlin; her first husband, James “Wesley” Bratcher, Jr.; her second husband, Samuel Lee Keown, Jr.; her siblings, Kenny, James, Lou Ann, Leesa, Terry, Darlene, Larry, and Jerry; and her grandparents, James Edward Leach and Uva Leach, Lawrence Talbott and Rose Talbott, and Loat and Hobdy.
Those left to cherish her memory include her siblings, Patricia, Linda, Randy, Tina, Mary Lou, Pam, Kelly, Renee, Frankie, and Arthur; her special nephew and niece, Dustin and Jamie, though Lori loved each of her nieces and nephews dearly. She also leaves behind many treasured friends, her beloved church family, and a special little girl, Serenity “Honey”, who held a special place in her heart.
Funeral services will be held at 1 PM Saturday, June 20, 2026, at New Assembly Church in Hartford with Rev. Lealin Geary officiating. Burial will follow in Echols Cemetery in Echols, Kentucky. Friends may visit from 10 AM until the time of the service at the church.
