Maudie Belle Nash, age 80, formerly of Cambridge City, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 21st, 2024, at her residence in Kentucky. Born on Friday, May 12, 1944, to the late Edgar and Kuthie Earlywine King in Carlisle, Kentucky as Maudie Belle King, she was widowed in 1996 to the late Charles (aka “Charlie”) Edward Nash.

Everyone was welcome. No one was turned away or went home hungry.
