Funeral services will be held privately for Terry’s immediate family only, due to the COVID-19 mandates issued by the Governor of Kentucky. The service will be streamed online to the Hager Funeral Home Facebook page beginning at 2:00 PM on Monday, December 7, 2020. Burial will take place in St. George Cemetery.
