Boyd, Tishia Elizabeth (Shope) age 44 of Maryville, TN left this earth on February 18, 2018 to be with her Lord and Savior after her battle with fungal meningitis. Tishia ran into the awaiting arms of her loving grandparents Speedy and Wilda Boling, Juanita Magill and Lonnie Koons. She had a smile that is etched in so many hearts, she gained her wings, left this earth and is now dancing with the Angels. Tishia was loved by many and she loved her family and friends. Tishia’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Tishia gave in death as she gave in life; she gave the gift of life thru organ donation. Tishia is survived by her loving mother Vici Boling Moser, father Bobby Koons (Rhonda), son Johnny Lee Boyd, daughter Karly Brianne Gibson, the love of her life Donnie Shope, grandmother Hattie Koons, sisters and brother Angel Magill, Brandi Magill and Jason Magill, special cousin Erica O’Connor, uncles and aunts Buster (Judy), Brian (Rhonda) and Randy (Kim) as well as a host of loving cousins.
