Genalea Nunn

Genalea Nunn, 93, of New Castle, went to meet her Lord and Savior Wednesday, April 2, 2025. She was at her long-time residence, surrounded by many of her loved ones. She was born October 10, 1931, in Greenwood, McCreary County, KY, a daughter of the late Lester and Mattie (Hay) Davis.

Loving, caring, Godly, and “a perfect Mom” is just some of the ways Genalea’s seven children describe her. She loved music, and especially enjoyed listening to her son, Lester, singing and playing. Taking road trips, eating out with family, and just being together with them were among her most precious times.

A longtime member of Calvary Baptist Church in New Castle, she had attended Open Arms Church in New Castle for the past several years. In the 1970’s, she and her husband were active in the Rose City Breakers CB club, where his handle was “Coffee Cup” and hers, “Coke Glass”.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her seven children, Sammy (Martha) Nunn of New Castle, Lester (Dana) Nunn of Parker City, IN, Peggy (Gary) Rinberger of New Castle, Vickie (Benny) Burris of New Castle, Alice Hamilton of New Castle, Lillie Blevins of New Castle, and Jack (Cris) Nunn of Spiceland; seventeen grandchildren, Amber (Mike) Cross of Anderson, Farrah (Mike) Brown of New Palestine, Jayson (Heidi) Nunn of New Castle, Jamie (Kenny) Boughton of Spiceland, Jermey (Chris) Rinberger of New Castle, Garrett (Misty) Rinberger of New Castle, Jodi (Tony) Young of New Castle, Amanda Burris (Ryan Armstrong) of Gaston, Benjamin (Brittany) Burris of New Castle, Michelle (John) Anderson of New Castle, Walter Logan of New Castle, Jenalea (Shane) Nelson of New Castle, William Joe (Amy) Blevins of Dunreith, Noel Blevins Jr., of Richmond, Candy McClure of New Castle, Alex Nunn of New Castle and Abby Watts of Alabama; thirty-two great grandchildren; fifteen great-great grandchildren; two sisters, Shirley Stout of Burnside, Ky and Faye (Goodin) Stout of Burnside, KY; several nieces and nephews; sisters in law, Jewel Davis of New Castle and Carolyn Davis of Somerset, KY.
