Killbuck and Glenmont plan Memorial Day services

Killbuck and Glenmont will hold Memorial Day services May 25.

Killbuck’s parade will begin at 10 a.m. from the VFW and will be led by the VFW Post 7079 members and the West Holmes Marching Band. They will march to the Killbuck Cemetery to hold memorial services. The national anthem will be provided by Toni and Gracie Shreve and the West Holmes Marching Band.

Glenmont’s parade will begin at 11:30 a.m. from the Glenmont School Building and will be led by the VFW Post 7079 members and the West Holmes Marching Band.

The speaker for both memorial services will be Jeff Lashley.

Lashley lived all but one of his school-age years in Millersburg and Killbuck before moving to Columbus for college after graduating from West Holmes High School in 1978. His mother and sister have lived in Killbuck for over 50 years, and many lifelong friends have kept him closely connected to Holmes County for most of his life.

He is a graduate of Columbus Business and Franklin universities and retired from Huntington Bank after 35 years. He met his wife, Kari, at the bank, and they celebrated their 44th anniversary in March. After retirement, he continued using his financial experience working with several Christian ministries. He now enjoys family, including two adult children, their spouses and six grandchildren. Jeff and Kari enjoy traveling and have completed quests to visit all 88 Ohio counties and all 50 states in the United States. They have also served on short-term mission trips in several countries.
