Kenneth Rae Gordon

Following his service to the U. S. Navy, Kenneth went to work for Southwestern Bell, later AT&T, as a technician. He married his high school sweetheart, the late Janet Gordon and was her devoted husband for 43 years. During a later family crisis, he met Ann in the Emergency Room waiting room and it was love at first sight. They shared 18 years together.

Kenneth was always a comedian. He was known for telling jokes to everyone he met. He also loved puzzles, and was known as the “Happy Hooker” due to his passion for creating latch hook rugs.

Kenneth is survived by his wife, Ann Gordon; daughter Gayla Lancione; stepson Lester Perkins; stepdaughter Lesli Perkins; sister Kay Maxwell; brothers David Gordon and A.C. Gordon; grandchildren Dakota Pierce (Cameron), Zack Lancione, Micah Perkins, Luke Perkins; great grandchildren Skyler Overton and Brody Pierce; and many other loving family members and friends.
