Paul E. Kepner

Paul E. Kepner of Kokomo, IN, died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at Main Street Terrace, Lancaster, OH. He was 96 years young. He was born November 6, 1929, in Kokomo, to Orba A and Hazel B (Knight) Kepner. He was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife of 62 years Judith (Dutchess) Kepner, and his sons-in law Dan Boyle (Geneva, Switzerland) and Ernest Martin (Circleville, OH).

Surviving him are his two daughters Ann Boyle (Geneva, Switzerland) and Karen Martin Kepner (Lancaster, OH). He also leaves behind his younger sister Roma (Kepner) Chism and her two children Kent (Isabelle) Chism and Kim (Chism) Spray, as well as Roma’s grand- and great-grandchildren, all of whom are in the Kokomo area. Ann and Karen are deeply grateful to all the nearby family and friends for their care and support for Paul in his later years. Moreover, they sincerely thank the staff of Main Street Terrace and of FairHoPe Hospice for their care and compassion during his final months.

Paul graduated from Clay Township High School (now Northwestern) and from New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He served in the U.S. Air Force for three years. He and Judy were then married, and the newlyweds set up housekeeping in New Mexico so Paul could earn his master’s degree at NMSU. While teaching at the University’s School of Engineering, Paul and Judy welcomed both daughters. They eventually moved their little family to South Bend, IN, where Paul worked at Bendix, Mishawaka, and its successor entities as a Manager of Marketing in the Aerospace Sector. Over the years, Paul’s work took them to Virginia and Maryland, then back to South Bend. Upon retirement, Paul and Judy returned to the Kokomo/Galveston area where they settled for good.

They were members of Christ Lutheran Church, 3401 S. Dixon Road, Kokomo, IN, where a memorial service will take place April 17 at 11 AM. A visitation will take place at the church from 9–10:30 AM. Graveside services will follow at Galveston Cemetery at 12:45 p.m.
