Ruth Anna Veazey Sisk

Ruth Anna Veazey Sisk, 90, of Owensboro, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky. She was born April 5, 1932, in Madisonville, Kentucky to the late Herman Veazey, Sr. and Naomi Slaton Veazey. Ruth was a member of Wesleyan Heights United Methodist Church.

Sisk; grandchildren Melissa Sisk of California, Michelle (Brad) Hayden of Owensboro, and Tyler (Elizabeth) Sisk of Lexington; great-grandchildren Camille Hayden, Jaxon Hayden, Margaret Sisk and Kathleen Sisk; and numerous very special nieces and nephews. The family wishes to say a special thank you to caregivers, Joan Dant, Stephanie Payne, and Shelly Gunther.
