Bobby J. Renfrow

Bobby J. Renfrow, 71, of Owensboro, died on Tuesday, January 18, 2022 in his home. A native of Daviess County, he was born on January 13, 1951 to the late Ernest Renfrow and Annabelle Richeson Renfrow. Bobby worked at Medley Distillery, Baskin Robbins and Glenmore Distilleries where he retired. He was a member of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Buford, KY. His fondest memories in life were spent watching NASCAR, going to his grandchildren’s ballgames, spending time in his man cave listening to oldies music and watching TV. But most of all, he loved sitting around the fire pit having s’mores with the grands.

Survivors include his wife of 47 years, Paula Blanford Renfrow; his children, Chris (Tanya) Renfrow of Owensboro and Laurie (Jason) Chapman of Central City; three grandchildren, Decker Renfrow, Ava Renfrow, and Strader Chapman; one brother, Ernest Renfrow; three sisters, Linda Renfrow, Shirley (Starling) Lambert, and Sue (Ralph) McCoy; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles.
