Billy Hensley of Morning View, age 86, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 22, 2024, in the comfort of his own home. He was born in Dewitt, KY on April 23, 1938, to the late Florence {Grubb} and Tescoe Hensley. Billy retired as an inspector for General Motors.

He was a wonderful husband, devoted father, and loving grandpa who will be deeply missed.
