Kenneth J. Lovelace, gave for his church and family
Kenneth J. Lovelace was a man of deep faith who wasn't afraid of making sacrifices.
So for 27 years, he gave of himself to his church, St. Anthony in Taylor Mill. He cleaned, cut grass and passed around the collection basket on Sundays.
He cut his own grass in Taylor Mill until just months before he died Wednesday at the age of 92.
'He knows that there's someone more divine than we are, and that you have to give of yourself to get (to heaven),' said a daughter, Tracy Thoerner of Taylor Mill.
Mr. Lovelace died at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South in Edgewood. He had lived in Taylor Mill for 51 years.
Before he retired in 1972, Mr. Lovelace was a handyman and mechanic. He worked for 10 years for Heekin Can Co. in Cincinnati and then another 29 years as a mechanic for Cincinnati Transit Co.
He also was a general contractor who repaired furnaces, washing machines and automobiles. He also painted, did carpentry work and cleaned chimneys.
For awhile, he and a partner went into business together, delivering candy to stores.
Mr. Lovelace married his wife, Lucille, in 1934 and moved with her to Taylor Mill. They had seven children.
A son, Marine Sgt. Robert J. Lovelace, died in 1966.
Mr. Lovelace's work for the church began when he started cutting the lawn in 1970. Eventually, he also was cleaning and working at the annual church festival, setting up and taking down booths.
Ms. Thoerner once helped her father dust, sweep and clean the inside of the church.
'Churches are a lot bigger than your house . . . You just don't realize the amount of work it requires,' she said. 'It's not that they wanted him to do it for free, he just refused payment.'
Mr. Lovelace also was a member of A.T.U. Local No. 627 in Cincinnati.
Survivors also include sons, Ret. Marine Lt. Col. Richard John Lovelace of California and Joseph R. Lovelace of Phoenix; other daughters, Betty Kyle of Florence, Patricia Witwer of Cincinnati and Mary Ann Fann of Covington; a sister, Lucille Botkin of Latonia; 17 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.

Diane S. Collinsworth, fight inspired son
Diane Susan Collinsworth's battle with cancer inspired her son, Adam, to fight for recovery after a devastating accident that left him a quadriplegic.
Mrs. Collinsworth, 46, of Taylor Mill, died at 10:20 p.m. Thursday at her residence.
Adam, a junior linebacker at Thomas More College, dove into a shallow pool Aug. 9, crushing the bones in his neck. The accident was difficult for Mrs. Collinsworth, said her husband, Edgar.
'She was trying to be very positive for Adam and to encourage him,' he said. 'If she could battle cancer for over four years, almost five years, and survive with what she had with hard work and a positive attitude that would help him. It did. He starts back into school next week.'
Mrs. Collinsworth was a registered nurse who worked until 2 1/2 years ago. When cancer appeared in her spine, the tumor was removed.
'After her first surgery, she had a little bit of problem with her right leg, but went back to work a short time before the cancer recurred,' Mr. Collinsworth said.
Mrs. Collinsworth eventually traveled to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where doctors removed part of her pelvis and its connection to the spine. She had radiation treatments and chemotherapy.
As a nurse, Mrs. Collinsworth spent 18 years at St. Elizabeth Medical Center. She also worked as a nurse at a veterans hospital in Kansas and as a school nurse at Morehead State University.
'She was always very positive, outgoing,' her husband said. 'She was a very good mother, raised her four children, and that was her No. 1 concern. They always came before herself.'
Mrs. Collinsworth was a member of St. Patrick Church, Independence.
Other survivors include sons, Edgar Neal Collinsworth II, Craig A. Collinsworth and Keith M. Collinsworth, all of Taylor Mill; her mother, Mary Alvina Steffen of Cold Spring; brothers, Ronald Steffen of Cold Spring, Wayne Steffen of Fort Thomas, and Brian Steffen and Bruce Steffen, both of Alexandria; and sisters, Mary Jane Kelly, Karen Mutsch and Gail Anstead, all of Alexandria.
Mass of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Patrick Church, Independence. Visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday at Connley Brothers Funeral Home, Latonia, with prayers at 10:10 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Mother of God Cemetery, Fort Wright.
