 now to set sail upon the sea of life. Our destination is uncertain\, but w
 e know that when we shall finally arrive in port\, although we may not all
  have attained success. We will be able to say with Paul of old\, ’We have
  fought a good fight\; we have kept the faith\; we have finished our cours
 e.’” She is now in port and has finished her course with a life well lived
  and is now able to enjoy her reward with our God.

SUMMARY:Julius Herbert “Butch” Spry Jr
DESCRIPTION:Julius Herbert “Butch” Spry Jr. passed away on Wednesday\, Feb.
  14\, after a valiant battle against cancer.  Butch was born to Julius and
  Mary Elizabeth Spry on June 27\, 1947\, in Decatur\, Alabama. He spent hi
 s early years with his sister Elizabeth Prentiss “Penny” Spry and his pare
 nts living in Pulaski\, Tennessee on the Crescentview\, a farm owned by Bu
 tch’s grandfather. The family lived in a home built before the Civil War\,
  and the farm was a wonderful place for a young boy to grow up. He loved t
 he farm so much\, in fact\, that when his father\, Julius\, dropped him of
 f for his first day of school\, Butch wanted to get back home so badly tha
 t he quickly climbed out the window and beat Julius back to the car. Butch
  often said that those early years on the Crescentview were some of the ha
 ppiest of his life. In the mid-1950s\, the family moved back to Florence\,
  Alabama for several years before settling in the Center Star community. B
 utch graduated from Coffee High School in 1965 and enrolled at Auburn Univ
 ersity. In 1970\, he earned his pharmacy degree from the Auburn University
  School of Pharmacy. After graduating from pharmacy school\, Butch moved b
 ack to the Shoals area and went to work at Killen Corner Drugs. Over the n
 ext 15 years\, with the help of several college classmates and friends\, B
 utch acquired and operated seven more community pharmacies in North Alabam
 a and Southern Tennessee. He worked in the pharmacies until the early 1990
 s when he took on more of an administrative role with the businesses and b
 egan spending more time on his farms. His boys often joked that he was one
  of the finest “farmercists” in the area. In recent years Butch enjoyed tr
 aveling\, hunting and fishing\, and just “piddling” around the farms. He w
 as a generous supporter of the Auburn University School of Pharmacy and Au
 burn athletics. His compassion and generosity have blessed many lives\, an
 d he will be missed dearly.  Butch is survived by his wife\, Diane Spry\; 
 his sons\, Drew (Jennifer) Spry and Scott (Olivia) Spry\; his four grandda
 ughters\, Victoria Spry\, Lauren Spry\, Prentiss “P.K.” Spry\, and Elizabe
 th Spry\; and his special canine companion\, Anya.  Honorary pallbearers w

 shes to thank all of the people who took care of Butch over this last year
 : Dr.John Waples and the nurses and staff at Clearview Cancer Institute in

 s everywhere she went. If it wasn't for her lack of hair\, you'd never kno
 wn she was a warrior in battle against stage IV Metastatic 'Breast Cancer.
  By her 48th birthday\, this warrior of a woman had lined up to battle can
 cer no fewer three times. Yes\, three times. She first battled Lymphoma at
  the young age of 12 and it was at this young age\, she resolved to become
  a nurse herself. A good and caring nurse. By becoming a nurse\, she reaso
 ned\, she'd be able to live a life dedicated to serving others. Her strong
  will to live\, and unwavering faith in God\, and the love and prayers of 
 family\, friends\, and many supporters carried her through the past 2 year
 s of Grueling Chemotherapy. Yet\, even throughout her own struggles\, she 
 reached out to help others affected by this horrendous disease. As recent 
 as October 2018\, she spoke to groups to give her personal testament. Thro
 ughout her life\, she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the 
 trust & hearts of many\, who even now are being changed by her witness of 
 constant nurturing love and faith in Jesus Christ. Mark and Dana\, happily
  married twenty-five years\, together they raised 2 children\, Jacob and G
 racie Beth. Possessing a true servant's heart\, Dana faithfully cared for 
 family & friends. A woman of strong faith & the heart of the Butler family
 \, Dana shaped their spirituality by her tireless Christian example. Dana 
 was a registered nurse for 25 years\, receiving her BSN from UNA. She alwa
 ys spoke fondly of her years working in labor and delivery. She loved watc
 hing new life enter the world\, families in a time of happiness & transcen
 dence. If you desire to know how wonderful a nurse Dana really was\, read 
 the nightingale tribute. She embodied every single word you'll read. “in t
 he excitement & miracle of birth or in the mystery & loss of life\, she wa
 s there”. Relatives left to cherish her memory. Those who preceded her in 
 death: baby Benjamin Evans Butler\, Father\, Jim Cryer and Step-Father Jam
 es Coggin. Donations can be given to St. Jude\, a cause which was near and

 s home for over 55 years. She was a housewife and loving mother. Betty was
  a devoted member of First Baptist Church in Athens and she shared her Chr

 and you could almost always catch her sitting on a porch somewhere with a 
 book in one hand and a glass of sweet tea in the other.   She enjoyed shop
 ping trips and eating out. And flowers…… boy did she love flowers! Betty c
 reated a warm country home with farm\, cow\, chicken and rooster items eve
 rywhere. Family was so important to her. Grandma made sure that every holi
 day or family celebration was special\, filled with traditions\, and the t
 able was full of homecooked food. Just a few favorites at the Puckett tabl

 est dressing you will ever eat. She almost always had a homemade cake or p
 ie to satisfy your sweet tooth. And of course\, her famous homemade sweet 
 tea. Times spent around the family table or on the back screened in porch 
 produced some of the best family memories. Betty will be remembered for he
 r spirit to live each day\, her beautiful smile\, laugher in her eyes\, wa

  will be greatly missed. Local care facilities ultimately became home for 
 her. Limestone Manor was the first to welcome her with open arms. There\,

 on February 26\, 2025.  Everyone in Athens knew Terry from the used automo
 bile sales industry\, but more than that\, they knew him for who he was—a 
 man who never met a stranger and had one of the most likable personalities
  you’d ever come across. He could make you laugh even in the hardest of ti
 mes\, brighten anyone’s day\, and make you feel drawn to him instantly.  T
 erry leaves behind his three sons\, Adam (Chelsea)\, Dage\, and Shane Star
 nes\, and his four granddaughters\, Camdyn\, Emersyn\, Rowyn\, and Laikyn.
  He also leaves behind his mother\, Judy\, and father\, Neal\; his sister\
 , Quinette (Leonard) along with their daughter\, Mia\; his brother\, Lonni
 e\, and nephews\, Wyatt and Zane\; his brother\, Shannon (Jill) along with
  their daughter\, Josie.  Terry had a genuine heart—if you were in need an
 d he could help\, he would. He made an impact not just with his words but 
 with his actions. If there’s one thing to take from his life\, it’s how to
  make others smile\, not take life too seriously\, and face anything that 
 comes your way with laughter. There won’t be a traditional funeral for Ter
 ry. Instead\, his family will scatter his ashes into the river\, a place t
 hat brought him peace and happiness.   This man will be remembered by many
 . Not everyone has the gift of making people feel instantly at ease\, but 
 Terry did. If we can learn anything from him\, it’s how to be kind\, how t
 o bring joy to others\, and how to live life with a smile.

DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Hankins Waide October 2\, 1981-June 16\, 2025 On June

 bert (David) and Hank Waide (Kelly)\, his siblings\, John and Emily (Josh)
 \, and his cherished niece\, Nancy Waide. Ben was born in Opelika\, Alabam
 a. He later returned to Auburn\, pursuing a degree in Turfgrass Management
 . Ben combined one of his greatest passions with his career\, becoming a g
 olf course superintendent. He loved the work he did\, but even more\, he l
 oved the people he worked alongside. He never referred to people working f
 or him\, they were his friends\, and they worked with him. There was nothi
 ng that Ben tried that he didn't master\, guitar\, drawing\, leather work\
 , collecting artifacts. He was a 'Whisperer' of sorts\, calming horses\, d
 ogs\, even little Nancy as a baby. His intelligence and creativity never l
 eant him to boredom. He was always busy\, even as a child. A 'time-out' in
  his room once ended with him making a handwoven basket from the pages of 
 the 'B' encyclopedia. Ben's kindness\, generosity and quiet brilliance wil
 l be missed beyond words. He is now free. 'He sent from above\, He took me

DESCRIPTION:  John Ellis McCartney\, Jr. November 18\, 1937-January 24\, 20
 22                 John Ellis McCartney\, Jr. (“Johnny”) of Athens\, Alaba
 ma passed away peacefully with his devoted wife\, Ruby\, by his side on Ja
 nuary 24\, 2022. Johnny’s life of service began on November 18\, 1937\, wh
 en he was born the only child to John Ellis and Cleon Griffin McCartney. H
 e dedicated his formative years to his parents\, developing fond memories 
 and lifelong relationships at their McCartney Family Restaurant. Johnny pr
 oudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. After retur
 ning home from war\, he continued to serve others through his work with Mc
 Cartney’s Meat Market\, KinderCare\, and First Baptist Church\, among othe
 rs\, and volunteerism with the Athens High School Booster Club and America
 n Legion Post 49.                 Though Johnny’s life of service has ende
 d\, his legacy of service continues through his family whom he cherished a
 nd loved with all his heart. In every action\, Ruby has embodied the vows 
 she and Johnny took forty years ago\, caring for Johnny until his last bre
 ath\, just as he cared for others. His daughter\, Rebecca Kathleen Montgom
 ery\, who carries on Johnny’s gift of storytelling\, serves and comforts t
 hose most vulnerable as a labor and delivery nurse. His oldest son\, Willi
 am Ellis McCartney\, who inherited his father’s intensity\, defends those 
 in need as an attorney. His youngest son\, John Andrew McCartney\, who mat
 ches Johnny’s kindness\, secures employment for those seeking and mentors 
 children as a volunteer soccer coach. His teenage grandchildren\, Ace and 
 Griffin\, though just starting their journeys\, already display Johnny’s s
 elflessness in their relationships with their friends and family. Words ca
 nnot adequately describe the pride Johnny felt for those he leaves behind.
                  Johnny loved the Crimson Tide\, a bourbon and Coke\, and 
 a good cigar. He loved them more when sharing with family and friends. Wha

 &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbs
 p\;&nbsp\; John Ellis McCartney\, Jr. (&ldquo\;Johnny&rdquo\;) of Athens\,
  Alabama passed away peacefully with his devoted wife\, Ruby\, by his side
  on January 24\, 2022. Johnny&rsquo\;s life of service began on November 1
 8\, 1937\, when he was born the only child to John Ellis and Cleon Griffin
  McCartney. He dedicated his formative years to his parents\, developing f
 ond memories and lifelong relationships at their McCartney Family Restaura
 nt. Johnny proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War
 . After returning home from war\, he continued to serve others through his
  work with McCartney&rsquo\;s Meat Market\, KinderCare\, and First Baptist
  Church\, among others\, and volunteerism with the Athens High School Boos
 ter Club and American Legion Post 49.</p>  <p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
 &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbs
 p\; Though Johnny&rsquo\;s life of service has ended\, his legacy of servi
 ce continues through his family whom he cherished and loved with all his h
 eart. In every action\, Ruby has embodied the vows she and Johnny took for
 ty years ago\, caring for Johnny until his last breath\, just as he cared 
 for others. His daughter\, Rebecca Kathleen Montgomery\, who carries on Jo
 hnny&rsquo\;s gift of storytelling\, serves and comforts those most vulner
 able as a labor and delivery nurse. His oldest son\, William Ellis McCartn
 ey\, who inherited his father&rsquo\;s intensity\, defends those in need a
 s an attorney. His youngest son\, John Andrew McCartney\, who matches John
 ny&rsquo\;s kindness\, secures employment for those seeking and mentors ch
 ildren as a volunteer soccer coach. His teenage grandchildren\, Ace and Gr
 iffin\, though just starting their journeys\, already display Johnny&rsquo
 \;s selflessness in their relationships with their friends and family.</p>
   <p>Words cannot adequately describe the pride Johnny felt for those he l
 eaves behind.</p>  <p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nb
 sp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Johnny loved the Cri
 mson Tide\, a bourbon and Coke\, and a good cigar. He loved them more when
  sharing with family and friends. What we would do to share them with him 
 just one more time.</p>  <p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbs
 p\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Johnny was pre

 day\, August 1 at Huntsville Hospital.   There will be a grave site servic
 e with military honors on Tuesday\, August 4\, 2020 at 1pm  at 1pm at Athe
 ns City Cemetery with Bud White officiating.    No visitation is planned d
 ue to Covid-19. Spry Funeral Home is directing.    The family asks those a
 ttending the grave site service to please wear a mask and social distance 
 to help contain the spread of Covid-19.   Mr. Vinson was born and raised i
 n the Lester/Salem community. His parents were  James Hobson and Merle (Gl
 anton) Vinson.   Mr. Vinson was preceded in death by his parents\, Hobson 
 & Merle Vinson\; his brother\,  Houston Vinson\; his sister\, Rachel McNat
 t\; his wife of 59 years\, Katherine (Prince) Vinson\; and his son\, Wayne
  Vinson.   Survivors include two sons: Eddie (Yolanda) Vinson of Arlington
 \, TX and Dan (Bonnie)  Vinson of Athens\, AL\; two daughters: Kay (David)
  Reeves of Athens\, AL and Brenda (Ed) Johnson of Boyds\, MD. He is also s
 urvived by two sisters: Donnie Williamson and Judy Jackson\, both of Athen
 s\, AL and one brother\, Billy Vinson of Pensacola\, FL.   He is survived 
 by 8 grandchildren\, 12 great-grandchildren\, and 3 great-great-grandchild
 ren\, as well as many nieces and nephews.     Mr. Vinson was a member of N
 orthside Church of Christ from the 1960's and attended  until his health n
 o longer allowed him to do so. His faith was very important to him. Even t
 hough he could not attend Church in person\, he watched services on TV\, r
 ead his Bible and prayed every day. He was always telling his family to 'p
 ut God first'.     Mr. Vinson lived through the Depression and was a WWII 
 veteran. He liked to ride  around his old stomping grounds in Leggtown\, D
 upree Holler and Chapman Holler and tell stories about those 'old' days. H
 e had a good memory and would tell us who used to live where and how they 
 survived the Depression. He would also tell us stories of being in the Arm
 y and in WWII.     He loved gardening and made sure his children knew how 
 to raise a garden\, whether they wanted to or not. He did eventually pass 
 along his love of gardening to all of his children. Later in life\, he got
  the Genealogy bug. He worked hard tracing some of his ancestors and got a
 ll the way back to the 1700's. Also later in his life\, he discovered he h
 ad a talent for oil painting. Many family members' homes are adorned with 
 his beautiful paintings.   He was fiercely independent and could be stubbo
 rn at times\; maybe that is what got him to be almost 96 years old. He is 
 loved by many and will be missed by many.    Memorials may be made to the 
 Alabama Veterans Museum.

SUMMARY:Dephew “Dep” Nash
DESCRIPTION:  Dephew “Dep” Nash (87) passed away peacefully at his home in 
 on March 2\, 2021 from complications due to Parkinson’s disease. Dep was b
 orn and lived his entire life in the community of Oliver\, east of Rogersv
 ille. He served four years in the US Navy during the Korean conflict from 
 1951 – 1955 as an engineman on the USS Hitchiti. After discharge from the 
 Navy\, he completed training as a diesel mechanic in Chicago\, IL and retu
 rned to Alabama where he worked with TVA for 30 years\, followed by a seco
 nd career in the logging business.   Dep often said that despite traveling
  the world during the Navy\, he never found a place as beautiful as Oliver
 . He believed strongly in being of service and giving back to others and h
 e embodied that belief by giving generously of his time and his skill to a
 nyone in the community who needed assistance. He helped those with car tro
 uble\, pulled people out of ditches in the middle of the night and cut tre
 es off of power lines during ice storms\, steadfastly refusing to accept a
 ny compensation. Because of his devotion to his community he was affection
 ally called the “Mayor of Oliver.” He was a lifelong blood donor\, always 
 responding to calls from the American Red Cross whenever they needed donat
 ions\, and he kept a regular routine of visiting those who were sick or sh
 ut-in\, despite his own declining health.    Dep was outgoing\, smart\, an
 d curious and could always strike up a conversation with anyone. He loved 
 hearing about other peoples’ lives and could often find common ground even
  with those from different backgrounds. He was endlessly patient and had a
  profound inner peace that permeated his being even in times of adversity.
  He often said that “there is no point in worrying about anything. Change 
 it if you can but otherwise\, you just have to accept it.” He carried that
  philosophy into his own illness and faced his physical decline with deep 
 surrender and acceptance\, never complaining and always trying to make it 
 easier on those caring for him.    His imprint on this small community wil
 l live on through his family and all of those that he has helped and touch
 ed.    He is preceded in death by his parents Ernest “Jack” and Minnie Goo
 de Nash\; wife of 54 years\, Bessie Green Nash\; brothers Robert Lee Nash 
 and Emmett Nash (Ruby Springer)\; half-brother Milton Miller (Juanita Good
 e)\; brother-in-law Floyd “Bud” Workman\; and close companion in his later

 ife for thirty years.  Rev Grubbs pastored several churches in Al with Haz
 el always by his side.  Daily she served as a prayer warrior\, teacher\, c
 ounselor\, and confidant for anyone who called upon her.   It was well kno
 wn that if you needed a good meal you could stop by her home\, and she wou
 ld 'fix' you a plate complete with dessert\, iced tea\, and conversation t

 nd the youth groups of her church.  As busy as she was\, Hazel never faile
 d to support her son's extra curricular activities while he was still livi
 ng at home. She especially enjoyed cheering on the basketball and football
  teams  at Oxford High School while living in Oxford\, AL. The Crimson Tid
 e has lost a dedicated fan.  Although she couldn't attend the games\, Haze
 l faithfully watched televised games. If watching wasn't possible\,  she l
 istened to the games on the radio.  She usually offered up some amusing co
 mmentary that included suggestions for the coaching staff and players.   A
 fter retirement from the ministry and moving home to Athens\, Hazel was a 
 member of First Baptist Church\, and Poplar Creek Church.  Hazel loved chi
 ldren and they loved her.   Even after retirement\, Hazel continued servin
 g others by working in the church daycare program.  Some of those children
 \, even after time had gone by\, would visit Hazel at her home bringing sp
 ecial treasures to express their love for her. Hazel wants us to never for
 get how much she loved the Lord and her family.   Her family were her prid
 e and joy.  She ended each day with Bible study\, a phone call or two to t
 hose closest to her\, and prayer for her family.  Hazel lived her life wel
 l\, leaving a legacy of love\, service\, and friendship.  She will be deep
 ly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Donations can be ma

SUMMARY:Robert Thompson Trent
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday morning\, February 6\, 2025\, to the sound of Hande
 l’s Hallelujah Chorus\, Robert Thompson Trent took his last earthly breath
  peacefully at home and was immediately welcomed into heaven. Upon arrival
 \, he probably told a joke. Congestive heart failure lost! Heaven won! Rob
 ert Trent was born in Boaz\, AL to Earle and Marie Trent on October 5\, 19
 36\, making him 88 years old when he died. He was a son of a preacher man.
  Robert graduated from Roanoke High School\, then Samford University. Ther
 e he met and married his wife\, Annette. Their romance lasted almost 68 ye
 ars. After graduating from Samford\, Robert attended the University of Nor
 th Carolina at Chapel Hill\, pursuing graduate degrees in chemistry and bi
 ology. He became a research chemist for Reynolds Metals in Sheffield\, AL\
 , and later in Richmond\, VA. There he fell in love with computers\, and b
 ecame a systems engineer for IBM in Huntsville\, AL. He chose to live in A
 thens to be close to family and lived there happily until his death. It is
  impossible to put into words just how special Robert was to everyone who 
 knew him. Robert possessed a ‘wisdom gene’\, a unique\, unwavering sense o
 f humor\, and a keen intellect. His bookshelves featured classics\, poetry
 \, joke books\, religious books\, chemistry books\, math books\, and more 
 and more computer books. What kind of man for fun would read The History o
 f Pi or Principia Mathematica? Robert! He readily quoted long poems\, stor
 ies\, jokes\, famous quotes\, and bible verses from memory. He was musical
 \, sang in choirs\, the shower\, and his car. He enjoyed playing piano and
  listening to great music. Late in life he picked up classical guitar. He 
 and his son blew harmonicas so badly that Robert’s dachshund once left the
  room. Above all\, Robert loved God\, his family\, his friends\, his churc
 h\, and his country. He loved others more than himself and was deeply love
 d in return. A long-time member of First Baptist Church\, he was voted Dea
 con Emeritus by the deacon board. He served as chairman of the deacons a n
 umber of times. He taught men’s Sunday School at First Baptist. Along with
  his wife\, he was involved in deaf ministries in Richmond and Athens. He 
 studied his Bible and listened to godly preachers daily. Robert is survive
 d by his wife\, Annette\, children Beth Trent and Steve Trent (Diana)\, gr
 anddaughter Chloe Merrell (Chris)\, great-granddaughter Aurora Merrell\, a
 nd a number of nieces and nephews Robert was preceded in death by his pare
 nts\, Earle and Marie Trent\, his sister\, Patricia Scofield\, his brother
  Jere Trent.                                                        Funera
 l service will be held 2 PM Monday February 10\, at Spry Funeral Home in A

SUMMARY:Weatherly Bethea Hardy
DESCRIPTION:  2021 will always be remembered as the year we lost Weatherly.
  Weatherly looked rather like Humpty Dumpty\, short\, with a bald head and
  a broad smile. He ran Aardvark Screenprinting in Elkmont\, and wrote some
  of the most ridiculous and entertaining radio spots ever to grace the air
 waves of a small Alabama town. Even non-customers remarked on the ads\, re
 membering his character 'Stan Aardvark' who could fix any situation throug
 h the power of screenprinting. Over the years\, Stan fought giant monsters
 \, screenprinted a 'Please Visit Again' message for the lonely man on the 
 moon\, rescued t-shirt buyers from the mafia\, talked with Captain Kirk in
 side a temporal anomaly and rescued a boy's pet tortoise from high up in a
  tree. 'No job too odd!' was Stan's catchphrase. Weatherly had a madcap se
 nse of humor and a voice you couldn’t miss. He was influenced by anime\, G
 erry Anderson's puppet shows\, conspiracy and paranormal radio broadcasts\
 , and campy old radio ads. His original t-shirt designs were both hilariou
 s and esoteric. Over the years\, many babies received custom screenprinted
  onesies at their births\, courtesy of Weatherly and his wife. Weatherly c
 ame from a Church of Christ background and did not have the easiest life. 
 There was pain in his past and a variety of health issues over the years\,
  but he pressed through and was always there to share encouragement\, a hu
 g and a laugh. He adored his wife. He was beloved of his friends. He was h
 onest\, caring\, sweet\, and had a laugh that was infectious. Weatherly wa
 s like everyone's amazing uncle. Like his Lord\, Jesus Christ\, Weatherly 
 loved the outcasts and the odd people\, taking special care of those who o
 thers might overlook. His 'no job too odd!' catchphrase could easily be ch
 anged to 'no person too odd\,' as he befriended and cared for those who di
 dn't quite fit. His faith was deep and evident in the love he had for his 
 wife\, his daughter\, his three sons\, his grandchildren\, his comrades an
 d for anyone who needed a friend. Weatherly would not have you be ignorant
  of his faith in Christ\, either\, as we know he is now with his Lord. As 
 Weatherly once wrote\, 'The Bible is not a grimoire\, filled with potent s
 pells that if you say them JUST right\, or enough times\, they will bend t
 he Almighty to your will. Instead\, it instructs you to bow your knee\, yo
 ur desires and plans\, to His Will.' Weatherly walked in the Lord\, and is
  with Him now. If you did not get a chance to meet him in this world\, may
  you meet him in the next as the saints together praise The Almighty in th
 e eternal land where there are no tears and no death and no broken hearts 
 - and no one too odd! - forever and ever\, amen. Weatherly Bethea Hardy is
  survived by his beloved wife Grace Elaine 'Lanie' Hardy\, his daughter Ar
 iel Elaine Hardy\, and three sons Ian McLeod Hardy\, Alistair Micah Hardy\
 , and Noel Franklin Hardy\, as well as his two grandsons Dorian and Parker
 . A memorial service will be held at Spry Funeral Home in Athens AL at 1:0
 0 PM central time on Saturday\, January 8\, 2022\, with a reception to fol
 low at Central Church of Christ in Athens. In lieu of flowers\, the family
  asks that donations be made in Weatherly's name either to St. Jude's Chil

SUMMARY:Elvin Loyd Jackson
DESCRIPTION:On August 13\, 2022\, Elvin Loyd Jackson\, known as Addy Paddy 
 to his family and friends\, passed away at the age of 83. Just like everyt
 hing he did\, Addy Paddy managed his extended illness with strength and de
 termination- always wanting  to spend time with his wife Doris and 'all th
 e family' whom he loved more than anything else in the world. The Son of F
 loyd and Easter Jackson\, Elvin was born on October 9\, 1939\, into a fami
 ly of 10 brothers and sisters. Retiring from Reynolds Metals Company did n
 ot mean the end of his life's work\, as he spent a lifetime working for an
 yone who needed a helping hand. On September 15\, 1961\, Elvin married his
  one and only true love\, Doris. For 61 years\, he told her daily that she
  was beautiful\, that he loved her\, and that he was grateful she loved hi
 m. They had three daughters and five grandchildren that were the lights of
  his life-plus sons-in-laws that were 'his boys.'  Their names were always
  included in his daily prayers as he asked God to bless all the family: Do
 ris\, Angela\, Jonathan\, Jackson and Alyssa Pettus\, Ginger and Macy Crot
 eau\, and Matt\, Jill\, Sydney\, and Reid Homan. Elvin had a passion for h
 elping people and just taking care of things. He led the charge in church 
 building projects\, cutting grass and cleaning gutters for neighbors\, mov
 ing his daughters and granddaughters through life's stages\, and working t
 o do 'anything Doris needed or wanted.' His motto was 'Make Each Day Good'
  - and each night\,  he'd proclaim 'Well\, Doris\, it was a good day.'  He
 'd beam when we told him that he made us proud - which was really his life
 's goal. A graveside celebration of Addy Paddy's life will be on Sunday\, 
 August 14\, at 2:00 pm at the Hale Cemetery in Killen. (past Brooks High -
