Arnold Lewis Emberton Obituary (1938 - 2023)

Arnold Lewis Emberton, 84, of Glasgow, Kentucky passed away on Thursday, January 19, 2023. Arnold was born on March 22, 1938, in the small community of Etoile in Barren County, Kentucky. The 4th of 10 children born to the late Emmett A. Emberton and Ruby Irene Nabors Emberton. Arnold was a member of St. Helen Catholic Church in Glasgow, Ky. He was the epitome of what a husband, father, and grandfather should be. Arnold was a strong, kind, gentle man who found joy in the simple things of life such as the sunrise, working with his hands, a good book, an old song, and a cup of coffee. He loved his family unconditionally and always provided a secure loving home. The love and respect his family have for him is a testimony of the life he lived and the great man he was. Arnold left Barren County at the age of 18 to find work in Louisville, Ky as so many young men did in those days. While there, he met the love of his life, Doris Jean Clark. They married on September 1, 1956, and have been devoted to each other from that day on. From this union, they were blessed with five children. They settled and raised their young family in Louisville until 1974. Arnold brought his wife and children back to Barren County, where they have spent the last forty-eight years providing a loving home for their children, grandchildren, and their families. Arnold retired from Eaton Axle Corporation in Glasgow, Ky in 1998. Arnold is survived by his loving wife of 66 ½ years, Doris and four daughters, Sandy (Steve) Byrd, Debbie (Mark) Sanders, Donna (Kevin) Morgan and Janet (William) Hunley. He is also survived by eleven grandchildren, Jonathon and Justin Byrd, Lauren Moseley, Ethan Sanders, Meghan Albany, Tara Barnett, Cameron Brown, Brianna Hinkle, Shelby and Olivia Poynter, and Victoria Hunley.
