Laura Katherine Bennett

Oct 16, 1936 — Nov 12, 2026

Louisville

Laura Katherine Bennett, 90, passed away on Thursday, November 12, 2026, in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

Laura was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a longtime and faithful member of Beechland Baptist Church, where her faith remained an important part of her life.

Quiet and private by nature, Laura had a laidback spirit and a gentle way about her. She was a woman of many talents, especially when it came to crocheting. With patience and creativity, she made beautiful afghans, clothing, and blankets for those she loved, creating treasured keepsakes that will continue to bring warmth and comfort to her family for years to come.

In her spare time, Laura enjoyed working crossword puzzles, getting lost in a good book, and listening to gospel music. She also loved cheering on her beloved UK Wildcats alongside Hubert, sharing in the excitement and traditions of being a Kentucky fan.

Laura's life was filled with simple pleasures, quiet moments, and the love of family. Though she may not have always been one to seek the spotlight, the love she shared and the memories she created will remain in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Laura is preceded in death by her loving husband of 59 years, Hubert Eugene Bennett.

Left to cherish her memory, Laura is survived by her sons, Michael Bennett (Julie) and David Bennett (Susan); grandchildren, Jason Bennett (Sheri), Joshua Bennett (Heather), and Lauren Bennett-Lopp (Emmanuel); great-grandchildren, Abigail (Brady), Noah, Savannah, and Ean; great-great-grandchild, Camilla; brother, George Williams Jr.; and a host of extended family and close friends.
