Obituary of Harold Pettit

Please share a memory of Harold to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Harold Pettit, age 89, of Independence, KY, passed away Friday, January 31, 2025, in Perry Park, KY.  He was a retired Electrical Engineer, having previously served as Vice President of Gold Metal Products Company, President of Metal Craft Machine and Engineering, and as an Engineer at Nutone, Inc.  Harold’s faith was an important part of his life.  He was a long-time member of Hickory Grove Baptist Church and previously served as a Deacon and on other church committees.  Harold was an excellent wood worker, and after his formal retirement as an engineer, worked part-time for a wood working company in Latonia, as well as repairing numerous pieces of furniture for family and friends.  In addition, Harold had a wonderful sense of humor, liked to “cut up” with his family and friends, enjoyed watching U.K. basketball, and was known to drop everything for someone in need.

Preceding him in death were his first wife, Virginia Lee Pettit, his brother, Linden Pettit, and his parents, Kirtley and Alma Vanarsdall Pettit.  He is survived by his wife (of 34 years), Phyllis Payne Chapman Pettit; son, Steve Pettit (Ella), daughters, Robin Morrison and Suzanne Piper-Baird (Jim); step-children, Jennifer Rimer (Mike), Rivers Chapman (Karen), Julie Schreiber (Todd), and Chad Chapman (Megan); twelve grandchildren; eleven step-grandchildren; and several great grandchildren.
