Colton Thompson

Colton James Thompson, 9, passed away on April 20, 2026, at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Colton was born on March 14, 2017, the son of Heath Thompson and Kacie (Chapman) Holland.

He attended Heritage Hills Baptist Church in Santa Claus and was a first-grade student at William Tell Elementary. If he had his way, Colton preferred staying home and seeing what ruckus he could stir up in his neighborhood.

He was a typical young boy, enjoying sports, especially baseball, basketball and golf. He often practiced his John Cena wrestling moves in his living room with his dog, Cane.

Colton was quite the young entrepreneur, buying, selling and trading bicycles. At last count, he had about ten and if he wanted another, he figured out how to make it work monetarily.

He always looked forward to Spring Break trips to visit family in Florida because that also meant fishing would be involved.

His family includes his mother, Kacie (Chapman) Holland; father, Heath Thompson; brothers, Harold and Elvis Meserve; grandparents, Harold and Pam Chapman, Phillip Thompson (Carla) and Kim Gerlach and great grandparents, Terry and Anita Hunt and Bob Thompson. Colton considered Braxton, Collin, Abel and Charles some of his best buddies.

Funeral services will be at 7:00 PM CDT on April 23, 2026, at Huber Funeral Home, Tell City Chapel. Visitation will be from 3:00 PM until service time.

Memorial contributions may be made to Riley Hospital for Children.

Rita (Coultas) Scales, 72, of Georgetown, KY, formerly of Tell City, entered her heavenly home on April 11, 2026.

A woman of deep faith and a heart full of love, she spent her life devoted to her family and her faith. Born to John and Philipine (Veatch) Coultas, she was a proud resident of Perry County for most of her life before moving to Kentucky in 2022.

On March 6, 1970, she married Edward Scales, and they shared thirty-six beautiful years together until his passing in 2007.

Rita was a woman of simple, joyful pleasures. She was rarely found without a good book in her hand or a crochet project on her lap. She had a famous affinity for Dr. Pepper and never turned down her favorite Little Debbie snacks. She loved nothing more than a day out shopping and "getting a bite to eat" with those she loved.

After moving to Kentucky, she became a beloved fixture at the Scott County Senior Citizen program, where she leaves behind many dear friends.

While Rita was a wife, mother and sister, her favorite role was being "Mamaw" and "Me-mo". She loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them.

Rita is preceded in death by her husband, Edward Scales, parents, John and Philipine Coultas and brothers, Tom and Bill Vaught.

Rita is survived by her three daughters, Hellen (Freddie) Harrison, Nancy (Jason) Hoch, all of Tell City and Amanda (Aeron) Finke of Georgetown, KY; grandchildren, Jess (Courtney) Harrison, Cody (Cammy) Finke, Lauren Finke, Lincoln and Abram Hoch; great-grandchildren, Mia and Ava Harrison; and a sister, Donna Stallings of Evansville .

The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to Scott County, KY EMS and First Responders for their care.

A special note of gratitude goes to April Wise, whose devotion to Mom went far beyond her role as a caregiver. April cared for her with genuine love and a helping hand that knew no limits, and the family is so grateful for the beautiful friendship they shared.
