Lowell W Walton

Lowell Walton, age 79, son of the late Roger Walton and the late Eugenia Walton, passed away on Monday, August 3, 2026, at The Medical Center at Scottsville.

A native of Barren County, Lowell graduated from Hiseville High School with the Class of 1964 before earning his degree from Western Kentucky University.

Lowell was a faithful member of Cave City Christian Church.

Known for his generosity, kindness, and quiet compassion, Lowell touched countless lives. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, often with a wry sense of humor that could brighten someone's day. A lifelong student of history, he delighted in sharing fascinating stories and historical insights with family and friends.

The family is deeply grateful for the exceptional care and compassion shown to Lowell by the staff at The Medical Center at Scottsville and The Medical Center at Caverna.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Sara Walton; his daughter, Nellie Arnett (Tom); his son, Keith Walton (Terri); grandchildren, Alex Arnett, Abby Arnett, Audrey Walton, Spencer Walton, and Maddie Brown (Jordan); two great-grandchildren; and his sister, Gail Matthews.
