Carolyn Compton, 71, of Harrodsburg, KY, formerly of Freeburn, KY, passed away peacefully on Saturday evening, March 14, 2026, while an inpatient at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville, KY, surrounded by her beloved family.

Born on April 29, 1954, in Williamson, WV, she was the beloved daughter of the late Robert Chapman and Hattie Mounts Chapman.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Sarah Gearles, Lucille Young, Bonnie Chapman, and Donna Chapman; and her brother, Robert Chapman, Jr.

A devoted homemaker, Carolyn dedicated her life to nurturing her family, raising her children and grandchildren with unwavering love and care. She was a steadfast member of the Freeburn Church of God, where her faith and community were central to her life.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 54 years, Milford “Mack” Compton of Harrodsburg, KY; her son, Milford Theodore “Lil Mack” Compton, which everyone knew was her “favorite”, and his wife Barbara of Pikeville, KY; and her daughter, Tina Maria Goins and her husband Shane of Harrodsburg, KY. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Dalton Sanders of Harrodsburg, KY, Cole Sanders of Danville, KY, August Compton of Huntington, WV, and Milford Theodore “Trey” Compton of Pikeville, KY, who will forever hold her memory dear. She is also survived by her sister, Christine Justice of Chicago, IL.

A passionate supporter of the Big Blue Nation, Carolyn was known for her love of the UK Wildcats and her spirited rivalry with the Louisville Cardinals. Her family says she likely planned things her way one last time, with her Friday funeral service falling right during the Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament first-round game. Truth be told, if Carolyn couldn’t watch Kentucky play, she probably figured nobody else needed to watch it either.

The family will begin receiving friends on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at Freeburn Church of God, 43095 KY-194, Freeburn, KY 41528. Visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., with a service beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Her legacy of love and devotion will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.

Sgt. James Dotson “Jungle Jim”, 75, of Edgarton, West Virginia, passed away March 4, 2026 at 10:30 PM at Pikeville Medical Center surrounded by the love of his family. He was born February 2, 1951 to the late James Dotson and Bessie Murphy Dotson. Sgt. Dotson was a proud United States Army veteran who served his country during the Vietnam War from 1970–1973, earning the rank of Sergeant and receiving the Bronze Star Medal, the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), Airborne wings, air medal, Vietnam Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal for his service. Known to many as “Jungle Jim,” he carried great pride in his service and in the brotherhood he formed with the men who stood beside him. The bonds created during war lasted a lifetime, and he often spoke of the men he considered his brothers.

He leaves behind three of those brothers-in-arms, Satch, Lt., and P.R., and now reunites with his fellow serviceman and brother, the late Perrin, who preceded him in death. After returning home, he dedicated over 20 years working as a coal miner, providing for his family through hard work, strength, and determination. His faith meant a great deal to him, and he was recently baptized, giving his life to the Lord and praying daily. When he was able, he loved the outdoors, deer hunting and squirrel hunting, riding his ATV while checking on the cows, and spending time outside. He also loved vacationing with his family in Myrtle Beach where many cherished memories were made.

James shared a beautiful life with the love of his life, his wife of 47 years, Darlene Dotson, a bond that was rarely seen as they stood beside one another through every season of life. Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife Darlene Dotson; his daughters Brandy (Jackie) Sturgeon and Jessica (Kyle); his grandchildren Breanna (Alex), Haleigh (Dakota), Kyler, Zaylee, and Liam; his brothers Richard (Sherry) Dotson and Edward Dotson; his sister Lena Mae Blackburn; along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family who loved him dearly. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter Heather Lynn Dotson and his brothers Herbert Dotson and Albert Dotson. To those who loved him most, he was Babe, Daddy and Papaw JD, titles that meant everything to him. Even in his final moments he was never alone, as his family held his hands and told him they loved him until his last breath. He served his country with honor, lived his life with strength, and loved his family with his whole heart. He was our protector, our hero, and the strongest man we have ever known, and until we meet again Daddy, we love you and know your love will live on in each of us forever. 🙏🇺🇸
