Kenneth "Ken" Shull

Kenneth Wayne Shull, 80, of Franklin passed away at Sugar Creek Care Center on March 20, 2026 with family at his side.

Born in Franklin on January 16, 1946 he was the son of the late Alfred and Elsie (Baker) Shull.

Ken graduated from Franklin Area High School. He was proud to be a meat cutter for Penn Traffic for 31 years and a meat manager at the Bilo Market in Meadville.

On September 28, 2002 he married the former Judy Dille and she survives.

Ken enjoyed playing poker and going to the casino to test his luck.  He was a collector of coins and cars.  Most of all, his family was his world and he loved every moment he could spend with them.

Left to cherish his memory along with his wife, Judy of 25 years, is his daughter, Melissa Spence and her husband, John, of Cooperstown; his son-in-law Kevin Moon of Franklin; his granddaughter Taylor Meyer and her husband, Mike, of Cooperstown, his stepchildren Christopher Fallon of Arizona, and Kelly Accardi of Virginia; his step-grandchildren Erik, Evie and Cooper Tsow of Virginia; and his brother Robert Shull and his wife, Janice, of Franklin.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter Traci Moon; his siblings Donald, David, and William Shull, Joyce Riche; and his best buddy, Max.
