Milner Feland, 92, loving husband of Carolyn Feland, passed away at his home on Sunday, February 23rd, 2020, surrounded by his family.

Along with his wife of 28 years, he is survived by 5 daughters, Penelope Gardner of Louisville, Rebecca Feland, Ivy Sams, Millicent Feland, Marcy and son-in-law David Rucker, all of Lawrenceburg; step-sons, Gordon (Tammie) Wilds of Versailles, John (Heidi) Wilds of Port Deposit, Maryland and Roger Dale (Ann) Wilds of Lawrenceburg; 7 nieces, 3 nephews, 18 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren.

Born in Nutley, New Jersey on September 3rd, 1927 to the late Ivy May Green and F.R. Feland II. Milner served in the U.S. Army during the Occupation of Japan.  He learned to play golf on those sandy soils, which was later to become his favorite sport.

After obtaining a degree in Agriculture at the University of Kentucky, he moved to Lawrenceburg to pursue farming at his grandfather's (Judge F.R. Feland I) 20-acre farm on North Main Street.  He soon married Mary Lou Gentry (nee' McGreevy), and together they reared five daughters on the family homestead.  His farming activities included curing country hams in his smokehouse, cultivating large vegetable gardens and flower beds, as well as having a small bee-keeping operation, and greenhouse.

In the main, he was employed with, and retired from Universal Fasteners (now YKK), for 35 plus years.

Best known for his wise and calm demeanor, open-mindedness, respect for all humanity, affable sense of humor, and occasional pranksterism, his interests  included photography, motorcycles, golf, and listening to excellent jazz music.

Cremation was chosen, and a visitation will be held at Ritchie & Peach Funeral Home, on Saturday, February 29th between 1:00 and 3:00 P.M.  Following a memorial service at 3:00 PM, at the funeral home, friends may join family at the home of Ivy Sams (aka "the blue house") at 441 North Main Street, Lawrenceburg, KY for a reception.
