				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mary Ruth Russell, of Maryville, TN passed away Sunday, July 26, 2026, at her residence at age 96. Mary had been under UT Hospice Care since April 23rd, 2024, due to Melanoma cancer.

Mary was born in Monroe County, Vonore, Tennessee (in the mountains above Citico). Her parents were: Rev. William Riley Williams and Nora Bell Smith Williams. Mary's Dad served as pastor of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, Vonore, TN for many years. At 9 1/2 years old Mary accepted Jesus Christ, as her Savior, during the summer revival meeting. A young preacher, Rev. James Patton, preached the sermon, which convicted Mary's young heart to respond to the call of the Holy Spirit.

When Mary was a teen, she had the opportunity to live in Alcoa, TN with her cousin, Nelda French Kidd, and her parents, Maternal Aunt Hettie &amp; Uncle W.W. French, to be able to attend Alcoa City Schools, grades 8 - 12. Mary graduated from Alcoa High School, as did her future husband, Edward Gary Russell, of Alcoa. As teens, they first met at Central Baptist Church, Alcoa and had their wedding there in December 1950, when Ed was on leave, while serving in the U.S. Army. Ed and Mary remained active members of the church, while living in Alcoa. They moved to Bristol, TN in 1958, when Ed was hired at Raytheon Company, as a Draftsman, to design Missiles, for the US Navy. Ed was also transferred by the TN ARMY National Guards, as an Officer, to the Bristol TN unit.

They became members of Tennessee Avenue Baptist Church, Bristol, TN, and were able to take their young daughters, Sharon, and Teresa to the church, where they had an excellent children's program, and where the pastor, Rev. Willard Tallman, was a soul-winning, bible preaching man. In 1962, daughter Trish was born and, in 1964, the fourth daughter, Pam, was born.

In 1973, God directed Mary, Ed and their children to move their memberships, to Euclid Ave. Baptist Church, Bristol, Virginia. This was the church where the entire family mature spiritually, under the younger pastor Dr. Rich Liner.

Ed was a member of the church, until his death, in 1996. Mary remained a member of the church until after moving to Maryville, TN in 1998, where she would later join another Baptist Church, In town. Mary had lived in Bristol, TN for 40 years, so she prayed for God to direct her to the churches she should visit, before knowing that God wanted her to join Everett Hills Baptist Church, Maryville, TN. She stayed faithful to the church, until God sent her to her Childhood Church, Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, Vonore, TN. Mary was now in her 70’s and did not stop attending, until God told her it was OK to leave, when nearly 80-years-old. Mary always loved going to church seeing people accept Jesus, as their Savior.  She was still able to drive her car, so she prayed for God to direct her to the right church for her to attend, that would be closer to her house.

When the time was right, God revealed to Mary that she was to attend and later join, First United Methodist Church, Alcoa TN. She obeyed God and was faithful to the church, either by attending, and/or by giving her offerings, for a few years. The last time Mary attended a worship service at the church, was in July 2018 when Sharon attended the service with her.

Mary always taught all four daughters to be obedient to God, and God’s Word. All four daughters accepted Jesus as their savior when they were around 9 years old. Mary's strong faith in God, and her genuine Love and Concern for her family, and other people, and has always influenced all four daughters to grow in their faith to become the mature Christian women, they are today.

God blessed Mary with good health, during her long life. In 1983, Mary and Sharon went on a Holy Land/ Rome Italy Tour. In 1987, 1988, and 1991, Mary and Sharon were able to attend services at the Southern Baptist Conventions, and were able to see and hear well -known pastors and evangelists such as Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Adrian Rogers, and Charles Stanley. In 2013, 30 years after she first went to the Holy Land, Mary was still physically able to go on another tour to Isreal, with a different sponsor. Mary was also able to drive her car until she was 87 ½ years old.

Mary worked one year, in Monroe County, Vonore, TN as a school teacher, at the mountain one-room schoolhouse, up above Citico (which is where Mary attended, as a child). This was in the 1950-1951 school year. From 1952 - 1953, Mary worked as a bookkeeper for the White Stores Grocery Chain, Knoxville, TN. 1954-1973, Mary was a stay home wife and mother. 1974 - 1976, Mary worked for Carmen's Dress Shop, Bristol TN .1977 – 1984, she worked for Miller's Dept. Store in Bristol Mall. 1984 – 1986, Mary was a babysitter for an infant/ toddler. 1986-1989, Mary was still caring for the toddler, and two of her grandsons. 1989 – 1991, Mary worked for Hess’s Dept. Store until she resigned in 1996 to take care of her ailing husband, Ed, until his death in 1996.  Fall 1996 - June 1998, Mary was babysitting, part-time for another infant/ toddler. Fall 1998 - 2000, Mary worked part-time for HIS KID’S DAYCARE, owned by her daughter, Trish, HERE in Maryville. Sept. 1999- July 2005, Mary was the babysitter for her youngest grandson.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Paul Hawksley Krumm, age 83, passed away peacefully at his home on July 4, 2026, with his beloved wife, Catherine, by his side.

Born on March 9, 1943, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Utica, New York, Paul was the son of the late Paul Krumm (2006) and Alma Hawksley Krumm (2002). He was raised in Utica, New York, where he attended Whitesboro High School and graduated with the Class of 1960. A gifted athlete, Paul earned varsity letters in four sports—football, baseball, basketball, and track—demonstrating the determination, teamwork, and work ethic that would define his life.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Paul began a career with Niagara Mohawk as a groundman. Through hard work, he advanced to the position of Line Foreman, serving the company and its customers with pride throughout a 36-year career.

After spending most of his life in Upstate New York, Paul retired in 1999 and relocated to Friendsville, Tennessee, where he enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors and a well-earned retirement.

Paul's first marriage was to the late Dale Haller Krumm. From that marriage came three children: Colleen Krumm Knight, Ryan Krumm, and Tyler Krumm.

For the past 40 years, Paul shared a loving marriage with his wife, Catherine McKenna Krumm. Together they welcomed their daughter, Kendall, in 1989.

Paul found his greatest happiness outdoors working in his yard, caring for his property, or simply enjoying nature.  He had a lifelong love for animals, especially the many dogs that shared his home over the years. Paul was known for rescuing animals, and he devoted countless hours to raising orphaned raccoons and releasing them back into the wild. 

He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Katherine McKenna Krumm; his children, Colleen Krumm Knight (Peter Knight), Ryan Krumm, Tyler Krumm (Jennifer Krumm), and Kendall Krumm; his three grandchildren; his sister, Geraldine Louise Conboy; his brother, Brian Krumm; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, dear friends, and neighbors who will miss him greatly.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Krumm and Alma Hawksley Krumm, and by his first wife, Dale Haller Krumm.

His legacy of hard work, love of family, compassion for animals, and appreciation for the outdoors will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Vona Kaye Orr, a devoted wife, a loving mom, and a faithful servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, passed away peacefully at home on July 1, 2026, at the age of 74.

Vona dedicated her entire life to caring for her family. She shared 59 years of marriage with the love of her life, Donnie. Their love story demonstrated a lifetime of commitment, friendship, and unconditional love. Her children and grandchildren will remember her as their humble Momma, Meme, and Grammy who constantly prayed for them and loved them fiercely.

Her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ was her guiding light.  Vona’s favorite Bible verse was Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” She truly led a life that looked only to Jesus through the good times and the bad times. 

Vona was bold in sharing her testimony. From surviving polio as a young child to being healed of a brain tumor later in life, she planted seeds of hope and faith in the hearts of countless strangers. She wanted everyone in her path to know the goodness of God and His healing power!

She poured selfless love into everything she did. She welcomed everyone. To know Vona was to know joy, love, and laughter!

Her Christ-like legacy will carry on through her family and friends for generations to come.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Donald Verly “Donnie” Orr; her cherished five children and their spouses: Donna “KK” Hogan (John), Donald “Duke” Orr, David Orr (Sue), Deana McCall (Jarred), and Daniel “Danny” Orr (Tara); her adored grandchildren, Chandler Orr (Madeline), David Hogan, Maddison Parks (Cole), Luc Mauvis, Taylor Mauvis, Chace McCall, Gwendolyn Orr, Karson Orr, and Konnor Orr; her precious great-grandchildren, Harrison Orr, Solomon Orr, and Hollyn Parks; special cousins
Lowell “Bookie” and Vicki Poe; special niece, Jeana Mitchell; longtime neighbor and best friend Joyce Lee; sister-in-law, Karyl Shawkey, and a host of relatives and friends that she also loved with all her heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Eva Shawkey; her sister, Vickie Liberto (Russell), and her brother, Robbie Shawkey.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[James Douglas Weaver, aka Jim, Uncle Jim, and Daddy, was born on April 30, 1938 at the family home on the corner of Louisville Road and Dug Gap Road. For many years, if you said “Weaver’s Corner,” everyone in Louisville knew exactly where that was. He was the last of nine children born to Della Loy Weaver and Verlin Weaver. The story was that when he was born, he was dropped on his head. At least that’s what his older siblings always said. As you might imagine, being the youngest of nine children, “Jimmy,” as they called him, did get picked on. As a boy, he would walk in his sleep, and one night his brothers told him that his bicycle was in a tree, so he walked outside in his undershorts and climbed a tree to get it down. He remembers his oldest brother, Hanover, writing home from Europe during World War 2 asking for warm socks, as it was extremely cold up in the air on his missions as a tail gunner over Nazi-occupied Western Europe. He wore a lot of second-hand clothing, and he remembers getting his first new coat, purchased at Proffitt’s on the corner of Broadway and Cusick (where Bill Cox Furniture is now) when he was in the 4th grade. As a young boy, he would make a little extra money by mowing yards. Those were the days before power lawn mowers, and he remembers cutting one of the Louisville School teacher’s yards with a manual lawn mower for $4.00. He did graduate to a gas-powered mower for another neighbor’s yard, but the fee remained $4.00. He lived just down the road from Louisville School and walked to school everyday, except in 6th grade when he drove himself to school in his older brother’s A-model. In those days, when it snowed, there was no getting up and turning on the radio to see if classes in Blount County Schools were canceled. The bus drivers, one of whom was Moose Robinson, just put chains on their tires and made their rounds. Fun Fact: Moose was also Connie and Chrissy’s bus driver in middle school and high school. When Jim was in the 2nd grade, he remembers hearing a commotion up the road one day after school. He went to investigate and saw that the school building was on fire. He remembers seeing people throw chairs, desks, and books out the windows but doesn’t remember any fire trucks showing up. Of course, he and his classmates were excited because they thought “No School!” However, about two weeks later, school officials had put partitions up in the gym, which was separate from the school building on the hill behind it, and two grades met in each section. He remembers students throwing chalk over the partitions. While at Louisville School, Jim played basketball and baseball. He told stories of playing teams like Walland and Friendsville. His ragtag Louisville Warriors team especially enjoyed beating Friendsville, a team with more affluent players by the standards of the day. While at Louisville, it was hit or miss, unfortunately, when it came to high-quality educators. Some years he had a teacher that really made them buckle down, and other years, the teacher was just there to cash a paycheck. When Jim was in the 7th or 8th grade, he remembers Mr. Brooks asking him to drive him to Maryville to pick up some medicine, which he did. A lack of consistent quality educators caught up to him when he enrolled in Friendsville High School. However, he was not only ill-prepared for high school academically, but he was from a family of poor but hard-working farmers who couldn’t afford to buy him new school clothes. As a result, he said that some of the Friendsville “rich kids” made fun of the way he dressed. So, one day at the end of the first semester, he just got up and left school and walked back home up the railroad tracks between Friendsville and Louisville and never went back. At the age of 18, he started experiencing arthritis. He recalls not being able to bend down to tie his shoes, so his brothers had to do it for him. He went to a number of doctors and the one that finally did the trick told him to stop eating so much sugar, after which he recovered. At the age of 27, he finally settled down and married Joann Godfrey. Their first house was on North Union Grove Rd. Then they rented a house on Louisville Rd. from the Joneses. That’s where they lived when Connie was born. By approximately 1971, they had saved up enough money to buy the supplies to build a house back on Weaver’s Corner right behind his mom’s house. By this point, it was a family of four, as Chrissy had been born. He did the vast 

majority of the construction of the Weaver’s Corner house himself with the help of friends and family. This was a 2-bedroom house with a living room and a dine-in kitchen. An indoor bathroom came a year or two later. In the late 70’s or early 80’s, a den, another bedroom and a laundry room were added. In 1991, he decided to move away from Weaver’s Corner and made his final move to a 9-acre farm on Vinegar Valley Rd. in Friendsville. Throughout the years, Jim worked at, among other places, the Cotton Mill, Southern Cast Stone as a pattern maker, Candora Marble Company, at the University of Tennessee AG campus chicken farm as a maintenance worker, as a chauffeur for the Warners, and in maintenance at the Gateway Farm, a halfway house for troubled teen boys on Gravelly Hills Rd. in Louisville. There’s an old saying that goes, “Jack of all trades, master of none,” but Jim Weaver was a Jack of all trades and master of most of them. He was the “go-to” handyman for most of his friends and family for many years. Jim Weaver loved automobiles–the freedom they afforded to just get in and go, the challenge of restoring antique cars, and the competition they provided every Sunday in NASCAR. He was a loyal friend, “Uncle Jim” to many, a solid provider for his family, and the best dad ever. His family rarely went without–there was always enough food in the house, gas in the cars, and decent clothes to wear. The girls got an allowance of $5.00 a week based on doing chores around the house that they could spend however they wanted. As a Dad, Jim spent countless hours playing games both indoors and outdoors with his girls. He encouraged and enabled their hobbies: for Connie, it was helping to earn Girl Scout badges, which involved several knot-tying lessons and scouring the property for numerous leaf collections, or coming to any sporting event in which she was involved, whether it was as a player in 5th grade basketball, as the manager of the William Blount 9th grade girls basketball team throughout high school OR as a young adult on a Parks & Rec softball team. For Chrissy, it was facilitating her love of farm animals, especially horses. He built a horse barn for her at the Weaver’s Corner property and drove the horse trailer to numerous horse shows. He also allowed lambs to be kept inside the house in the bathroom at one point. He also facilitated her love of dachshunds, dog-sitting while she was at work or away on her travels. In general, he was a dad who made his girls behave and never tried to discourage their plans and dreams. Whatever they had in mind to do, he supported it and would lend a hand, if necessary. Jim always said when you run out of things to do, that’s probably a sign that the end is in sight. While he didn’t run out of things to do, he unfortunately ran out of the energy to do them. These last few years, and especially these last few months, have been challenging, and Jim definitely “did not go gently into that good night,” as the saying goes. Here’s one final story that most of us who knew Jim Weaver well can connect with. One evening, he called Connie and said that he and Momma had been driving to Knoxville on Alcoa Hwy when they saw a box fly off of a truck in front of them. They pulled over and retrieved the box. When they opened it up, there was a severed big toe inside of it. Connie was shocked and asked what they did with it. In true Jim Weaver style, he said, “We called the Big Toe Truck.” Most of his friends and family have the memory of Jim Weaver telling a great story, or pulling a harmless prank, or doing something silly that made us all just burst into laughter. We were all tremendously blessed to have him in our lives, and after we all get over the initial sadness of not having him around anymore, our memories of him will bring not sadness but gratitude, smiles and laughter.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Glenn Chapman, age 77, passed away on June 14, 2026. He was born on April 15, 1949, in Friendsville, Tennessee, where he was raised and spent much of his life.

Jason Neil Anderson was born November 13th, 1972 and departed his earthly life on June 9th, 2026. Jason was 53 years old when he went to be with our Lord, his beloved mother, Mary, bonus father, Ennis Scarborough, and many other loved ones that went to Glory Land before him. Jason died from complications of a stroke he had this past February. 
     A huge part of him died on the same day as our mother passed, September 2nd, 2023. He never recovered from grieving for her and having a broken heart from missing her tremendously. 
      Jason had the privilege to be the first and oldest grandchild on both his mother and father’s sides of the family. He gave our precious grandparents their names of MomMom, PopPop and Nanny. 
      Jason worked most of his life in retail and management positions at Food City, Kroger, and BlockBuster Video Store. He was a science fiction fanatic with a special love for Star Trek and Star Wars movies. 
      Although Jason never married, he treated his nieces and nephew as his own. He was the best and funnest uncle to Hanna, Peyton and Jenna King. They were the only other people that were ever allowed to play with his magnificent Star Wars toy collection. They will cherish the memories with their uncle and especially the experiences with him at the yearly Fanboy Expos he took them to. 
      Although he was not able to work or function his last 3 years of life, his stillness brought him time of good reflection upon himself spiritually. He knew he had to lean on God’s ever lasting arms. My brother was far from perfect, but he had a solid, loving heart. 
          Jason leaves behind to cherish his memory his sister, Holly Potter and brother in law, Tom Potter; father and bonus mother, Tom and Barbara Anderson; numerous special aunts, uncles, and cousins;  his beloved nieces, Hanna and Jenna Belle King and his precious nephew, Peyton King; his beloved dogs Scooby, Paco, Maggie, Otis and Shay (whom all were rehomed to loving families); special lifelong friend and pastor, Doug Hayes; special thanks to our cousin, Josh McKeel, whom helped take care of/lived with Jason during the last years of his life.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kenneth Virgil McSpadden passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Monday, May 25, 2026, at The Waters in Maryville, Tennessee, surrounded by the love and care of family.  Born on September 24, 1941, in Dandridge, Tennessee, Ken was the son of the late Ramon and Eulah McSpadden. He lived a full life marked by hard work, loyalty, humor, and a deep love for his family and friends.  Ken was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Wanda Helton McSpadden, who passed away in March 1996, as well as his parents, Ramon and Eulah McSpadden, and his brother and lifelong coon hunting buddy, J.R. McSpadden.  He is survived by his four daughters: Pamela McSpadden Trentham and husband Rick Trentham; Cheryl McSpadden Effler and husband Dennis Effler; Joy McSpadden Cagle and husband Dale Cagle; and Angela McSpadden McLemore and husband Josh McLemore.  He also leaves behind six grandchildren: Travis Trentham and wife Brittany Trentham; Josh Trentham and wife Laura Trentham; Adam Effler and wife Wonnell Effler; Katie Effler Middleton and husband Eric Middleton; Creed Cagle; and Chase Foster and wife Courtney Foster; and nine great-grandchildren: Zoe Trentham, Ella Trentham, Levi Trentham, Josie Trentham, Kenlee Effler, Tyler Middleton, Jaxson Middleton, Aubrey Middleton, and Charlotte Foster.  Ken is also survived by his sisters, Margie Shaw and Evelyn Newman and husband Danny Newman; his brother, Charles McSpadden and wife Marsha McSpadden; his sisters-in-law, Jean Helton and Phyllis McSpadden; as well as countless nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.  Before his health declined, Ken loved coon hunting his redbones with his brother, J.R. He enjoyed attending or watching NASCAR races — especially before “it got weird” — while cheering on his favorite driver, Ricky Rudd. He also loved traveling with friends and with his daughters and their families. But above all else, his greatest joy came from watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play sports. Whether in the stands or watching from home, he never stopped cheering them on.  Ken worked for many years as a Volvo mechanic at Clayton Volvo. He was known for always showing up to work — just not always on time. As Joe Clayton often said, Ken could “come in any time he wanted.”  The family expresses their heartfelt gratitude to his dear friend, Jewell Price. Both widowed, they reconnected at their high school reunion and shared a special companionship in later years. Her unwavering love, friendship, and support meant the world to Ken and brought him great comfort and happiness.  The family would like to recognize and thank the caregivers at The Waters, especially Kelly, Donna, and all the CNAs who not only cared for Ken but also lovingly supported and comforted his family through difficult days with explanations, compassion, and countless hugs.  The family would also like to express their gratitude to UT Hospice, especially Christian, Victoria and Courtney, for preparing them for the inevitable in a realistic yet gentle way. All of these caregivers are truly angels among us, doing God’s work, and the family is forever grateful for their light in the darkness.  Flowers are welcome; however, if you so choose to donate, please consider UT Hospice and/or the Alzheimer’s Association.  Ken’s family and friends will forever remember his wit, stubborn independence, work ethic, and unwavering love for those he held dear. His memory will continue to live on in every race watched, every hunting story told, and every child and grandchild he proudly cheered for from the sidelines.
