Fannilee Wyatt Owen

Fannilee Wyatt Owen, 91, of Murray, Kentucky, enjoyed life to the fullest. On November 4, 2020, with normal Gigi flair, she passed unexpectedly from this earth to paradise to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ without skipping a beat! One of the scriptures she loved to quote every day was Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." This is the scripture she quoted the afternoon of November 4, 2020, in the ER at the MCCH while receiving excellent treatment from the doctor and nurses.
