Cecil G. England
June 22, 1933 - May 31, 2025
Cecil England, age 91, of Gallatin, entered into peace on May 31, 2025.
He was born June 22, 1933, in Glendean, Kentucky. Cecil served in the United States Army for 23 years, until he retired. Cecil was known to be altruistic; he was always concerned for the wellbeing of others. Cecil had a generous spirit, and it was his personal endeavor to befriend strangers and lend a helping hand. He was a nurturing father and grandfather, and the security net for his family. Cecil is the heart of many treasured memories for his family. He loved to cook, go fishing, and yard sale shopping. He was also a talented songwriter and enjoyed playing the acoustic guitar. For the past 40 years, Cecil has attended First Free Methodist Church of Gallatin.
Cecil will be remembered for all the laughs he shared, and the infinite love he had to give. He will be dearly and sorely missed, and his memory will be cherished.
Cecil G. England is survived by his children, Patricia Dagg (Tim), Jeffery England (Sheila), Cathy Abel (Gary), Cecilia Cabeza Grimes (Paul); 10 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; and his brother, Paul England.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
