Booneville Services Honor Aline Gabbard Wilder, Burial at Pleasant Grove

Aline Gabbard Wilder’s visitation and funeral services took place at Booneville Funeral Home on January 3, 2026, offering family and friends an opportunity to gather for remembrance and final rites. Visitation began at 12:00 PM, followed by the funeral service at 1:00 PM. After the service, Ms. Wilder was laid to rest at Pleasant Grove Cemetery.

The obituary published with the funeral notice summarized survivors and the arrangements for services and burial, and it directed readers to Booneville Funeral Home for additional details and messages to the family. The notice served as the primary public record of the arrangements and provided a focal point for community members who wished to extend condolences.

In a county where social ties are often reinforced through local gatherings, funerals play a central role in providing practical and emotional support. The Booneville service gave neighbors and extended family the chance to mourn collectively, make practical arrangements, and begin the process of settling estate and family affairs that typically follow a death. For many in Owsley County, in-person services remain an important way to transfer care responsibilities and to coordinate help for survivors.

Practical follow-up for those seeking more information or wishing to leave a message of sympathy remains centered at Booneville Funeral Home. The funeral home retains the obituary and can provide further guidance on memorial contributions, burial records at Pleasant Grove Cemetery, or how to direct condolences to family members.

While the funeral on January 3 has concluded, local residents who knew Ms. Wilder or her family may still wish to connect with neighbors or the funeral home to offer support. These interactions often shape short-term needs such as meal trains, child care, and coordination of memorials, and they contribute to the longer-term social fabric of the community as families navigate loss and recovery.
