Most of the funeral plans for the five bank workers who were killed this week in Louisville, Kentucky, were announced on Thursday. The city continues to mourn the victims of one of the most recent mass shootings in the United States.
As online obituaries were put up, more information about the lives of the Old National Bank workers who died on Monday came to light.
They are senior vice presidents Tommy Elliott, 63, and Joshua Barrick, 40, executive administrative officer Deana Eckert, 57, loan analyst Juliana Farmer, 45, and Jim Tutt Jr., 64, who works in the business real estate market.
Elliott’s biography says that his funeral will be on Friday at 3 p.m. at the Broadway Baptist Church in Louisville, and then he will be buried privately. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the same day, Eckert’s funeral service will be place at Northside Christian Church in New Albany, Indiana, which is just across the Kentucky border from Louisville.
His biography says that Barrick will be seen from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday at Ratterman Funeral Home in Louisville, and a funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
The obituary for Tutt says that there will be a visitation from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, and then a burial service at the Southeast Christian Church Chapel in the Woods in Louisville.
Farmer’s funeral plans were still being made.
Tutt and Elliott worked in banking for a total of 40 years each. Tutt loved to make wine, sail, and watch the Kentucky Wildcats. His obituary says that he led charity and church trips to the Dominican Republic every year for more than a decade.
Elliott was a well-known Democrat, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was one of his best friends. Elliott was the former head of Baptist Health Louisville, according to his obituary. He also served on the boards of Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, Little Sisters of the Poor, Kentucky Educational Television, and the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft in Louisville, among others.
Kevin Luoma, a former coworker at the bank, said that Eckert, a mother of two, would put together a big spread of food every year in the bank’s conference room to celebrate Thunder Over Louisville, the fireworks show that happens before the Kentucky Derby.
Barrick taught basketball at the elementary school of his church. Other things he loved were “Sunday breakfast with his kids, any day on the golf course, and Xavier basketball,” according to his obituary.
Farmer had just moved from Henderson, KY, to Louisville. She already had four grandkids, and on Sunday, she wrote on Facebook that she was expecting a fifth.
