Donald "Donnie" Lee Aebersold, Sr.

July 22, 1935 - March 29, 2021

Donald "Donnie" Lee Aebersold Sr. entered this world on July 22, 1935 and went home to be with the Lord on March 29, 2021. He was a man who loved fiercely, deeply, and well. His faith in God was the anchor of his life. His devotion to his faith was only rivaled by his devotion to his wife, Jennie. He loved Jesus, his family, his friends, chicken pot pie, old TV shows, and corny jokes (which he made all too frequently). He was kind, selfless, wise, and so strong. His family was the most important thing in his life, and he was the most important person in theirs. He retired from Levy's Lumber and Hardware, and served as a deacon of Vine Street Baptist Church for over fifty years. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Jennie, and his six children: Donnie Jr. (Leigh Ann), Bobby (Cindy), Dale (Bootsie), Karen, Liz Bates (Doug), Brittany Akridge (Rob), as well as nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and countless friends. Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 1st from 3:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Ratterman’s & Sons Funeral Home located at 3800 Bardstown Rd., Louisville, KY. Funeral services will take place at the same location on April 2nd at 12:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family sincerely requests that donations be made to Vine Street Baptist Church, designating the Donnie Aebersold Memorial Fund on the information line. http://vinestreet.churchcenter.com/giving/to/donnie-aebersold-memorial-fund
