Obituary of Jimmy Guffey

Jimmy Guffey, 67, passed away on Sunday, January 28, 2024. The son of Wendall Guffey and the late Ida Wright Guffey, Jimmy was born March 1, 1956, in Albany, Kentucky. A “Jack of all Trades”, Jimmy loved to work and help people, never meeting a stranger. If you needed it done, he could take care of it for you. Happy in his life, he enjoyed fishing and sharing his catch with his family and friends at his famous fish fries. Above all, Jimmy loved his family, especially his grandbabies.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his mother, Ida Jean Wright Guffey; a sister, Particia Ann Guffey Smalley; and a granddaughter, Tesa Curtsinger.
