Wanda (Graves) Shrout

Wanda Graves Shrout, 88, formerly of Carlisle, wife of the late James D. Shrout, passed away Thursday, November 23, 2023 at Cedar Ridge Health Campus in Cynthiana. 

Born April 26, 1935 in Fleming County to the late Lloyd & Molly Graves, she was a 1953 graduate of Fleming County High School, a retired employee of Jockey International, a 60-year member of the Marie Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, a member of the Moorefield Homemakers and a member of Carlisle Christian Church. “Ma”, as she was known by most, enjoyed league bowling in her younger years, loved to play bingo & cards, listen to country music, and joke (sometimes argue) with her friends and family. She was described by many as one of a kind.
