Conley Thompson

March 27, 1949 — September 1, 2024

Edgewood

Conley Thompson, 75 of Edgewood, KY passed away at home peacefully surrounded by his family on Sunday, September 1, 2024. He enjoyed a long and successful career as an accountant and retired in 2014 from the Kenton County Treasurer’s Department. 

He was a passionate sports fan, and followed all local sports teams including the Reds, Bengals, and anything UK related, especially UK basketball. Conley also followed high school basketball very closely and enjoyed attending games with lifelong friends he reconnected with in recent years. 

As an avid golfer for over 40 years, he had a special knack for remembering the layout of just about every hole and course he ever played and would tell you exactly how he played the hole, whether it was last week or years prior when he played it. 

 A huge fan of sweets and chocolate, Conley was known to keep a hidden stash of candy downstairs that his grandsons enjoyed looking for every time they came to visit “Papaw”. He also enjoyed watching old sitcoms on TV and provided years of family entertainment laughing so loudly that he could be heard from the other end of the house.

Conley was preceded in death by a son, Todd Conley Thompson; his father, Wallace Thompson; sister, Patsy Mullins; and brothers, Tony Thompson and Roger Thompson. 

Conley is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Teresa Thompson; daughter, Tracy Thompson-Lang; son, Travis Thompson; mother, Geneva Thompson; grandsons, Brooks Lang and Brady Lang; mother-in-law, Violet Thurmond; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws who loved him dearly.
