Raymond Abell

Raymond Abell, age 79, of Shepherdsville, Kentucky finished his earthly journey on Thursday, November 12, 2026 and began his amazing new life. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky on March 9, 1947 to the late Charles and Jacquelyn Abell. Raymond was preceded in death by his parents.

Raymond was a friend beyond measure. He would never look up or down on anybody and treated everyone with respect. If you knew Raymond, you knew you had a true friend. He had an avid love of animals, reading, and singing cowboys. His knowledge of history was both extensive and exceptional. Raymond had a gentle spirit but had a mischievous side as well. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife, Bonnie Abell; daughter, Ayla Schoenhoff (Orville); grandson, Vincent Schoenhoff; sister, Charlyn Roberts (Tony); Jeremy Herb (Kerry); and a host of family and friends.

Memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 at 6:00pm in the chapel of Schoppenhorst, Underwood and Brooks Funeral Home (Preston Hwy at Brooks Rd). Family and friends may pay their respects on Wednesday from 2:00pm until the time of service.
