Fannie Mae Luney, age 101, of Irvington, KY, passed away on June 23, 2026, at Signature Health in Radcliff, KY.

She was born on May 14, 1925, in Mississippi, daughter of the late, Sidney and Dora Lanehart. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Luney; son, Marvin Shivers; and all of her siblings.

Fannie was a staple in her community and was very active throughout her lifetime.

Mother Luney was a graceful presence and was a constant help for those who needed a steady hand. She was a loving wife, mother, and friend, and will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know her.
