Donald "Don" Edward Mattingly

Donald “Don” Edward Mattingly, 88, of Owensboro, passed away Wednesday, May 31, 2023, at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. He was born January 8, 1935, in Owensboro, to the late Nick and Alice Kemper Mattingly.

Don retired from the Kentucky Transportation Department where he worked for 46 years. He enjoyed riding his bicycle and the city bus transit system, which he had memorized the schedules and routes. Don was known for his daily schedule of where he was going to eat lunch, with Tuesdays at Cracker Barrel for meatloaf being one of his favorites. He was very faithful in praying the rosary, sometimes 3 or more times a day, and always including the people who were traveling and those who had to work outside just like he did all those years.

Along with his parents, he was also preceded in death by his wife of 61 years, Barbara Jean Hagan Mattingly.

Don is survived by his daughter, Peggy Mattingly; two sisters, Mary Jane (Donnie) Brey and Jean Johnson; a sister-in-law, Ann McIntyre; also, several nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
