Earl Denton Waugh

Beloved husband, father and grandfather, Earl Denton Waugh, 87, died peacefully at his home surrounded by his loved ones on September 2, 2021. Earl was born November 18, 1933, in Nicholas County, KY, son of the late Retta Shannon Harney (mother), Coleman Harney (step-father), and Roy Waugh (father).
