| 1669 | Charlie Robert Oaks, 79, of Newland, passed away Thursday, June 21, at Life Care of Banner Elk, NC. He was born on March 17, 1939, in Avery County, NC to the late Charlie and Dorthy Gwyn Oaks of Elk Park, NC. Rob grew up on Elk River during a time when Elk Park was a hot spot for railroad travelers. Tweetsie Railroad ran right through the heart of town, and as a small boy, he would daily await the train's passage, his patience often rewarded with a chocolate bar tossed from the train's engineer. Rob was one to always be where the action is, and first jumped from Elk Falls at the age of eight, earning the respect of the "big boys" hanging around trying to work up the courage. Robert claimed he made nine jumps that first day, all from the top, and loved to tell the story. For most of his life he worked for Mountain Electric Cooperative in Newland, NC, rising from right-of-way foreman to Manager of the Newland/Roan Mountain offices for several years until retirement. He loved climbing trees and spent his evenings after work and days off trimming trees for many years. Most weekends he spent at Watauga Lake. He loved water skiing, boating and camping. It was always a fun time at the lake that the whole family and friends enjoyed. Rob loved collecting antiques and built a collection of nearly a thousand different clothes irons from the eighteenth and nineteenth century. He also restored hit-and-miss engines and enjoyed showing them at different motor shows in the southwest. An avid reader, he and his friends began a club in high school dedicated to reading all and every book in the library, and after graduation kept it up, often reading up to five or six books in a single week. Preceding him in death, in addition to his parents, was his grade school sweetheart and wife of 60 years, Shelby Jean (Estep) Oaks. Robert was a member of the Crossnore Baptist Church and was honored to be a member of the Gideons for many years, and deeply respected its humble mission. Charlie Robert will be sorely missed and remembered by more people than he could have realized, for if there ever lived a man that never met a stranger it was Rob, or Bob, or Charlie, or Robert; whatever name you knew him by, he would always leave you shaking your head with a smile. He is survived by one daughter, Deborah Silver and husband Bobby, granddaughter Sommer Trivette, grandson Jordan Robert Silver, great granddaughter Tatum Cooke, sisters Marilyn Hughes and Patti Oxendine, and many other nieces, nephews and cousins, all loving him dearly. Funeral services for Charlie Robert Oaks will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday June 26, 2018, at the Grandfather Chapel of Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home.

| 1682 | CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - Don Stout, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2022, at the UVA Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a long battle with chronic illnesses that affected him most of his adult life. Don was born in Florence, AL, on February 23, 1958, to James Dayton Stout and Charlotte Sue Stout (Angel) and grew up in Elizabethton, TN. After graduating with an engineering degree from the University of Tennessee, Don spent most of his career in the nuclear industry, primarily at Nuclear Fuel Services in Erwin, TN, and at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Rockville, MD. Don loved cars, NASCAR, and anything and everything about the space/flight program. He felt that it was his “southern birthright” to buy a new car every few years, much to the distress of his wife (lucky for him, she’s a pushover). Don had a great sense of humor, an insatiable curiosity, a generous nature, and was always happy to help family, friends, and neighbors whenever he could. He was preceded in death by his parents and his older brother James Lee Stout. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; his sisters, Linda Jenkins, and Susan Shorter; nieces and nephews; and a host of other family and special friends. All those that knew him are blessed to be able to call him a friend and he will be missed.

| 1683 | Cherie Treadway Matthews went to the Lord peacefully on December 19, 2021. Cherie was born in Limestone, TN on February 23, 1951 to Cleo Carson Treadway and the late James Eugene Treadway. Cherie was a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She graduated from Washington College Academy and successfully operated Classic Flooring, a hardwood flooring distributorship. A member of Sulphur Springs United Methodist Church, Cherie embodied the love of Christ every day. She was the brightest light in the room. She carried her torch high in the air that others might see and follow her. She was true and genuine. She led people to Christ in the gentlest of ways. She prayed for them, she wrote them, and she led them in Sunday school classes. She played piano for their weddings, hosted their baby showers, and sang to their babies in the nursery. She fed their families in times of grief, and she grieved with them. She vowed to mothers on their death beds to care for their children... and she did. She was a true Angel on earth. She gave herself selflessly to others—countless others. She was the best “Nonna” to her grandchildren. They will always remember her joyous energy, silly quotes, handwritten cards (with many exclamation points), and amazing food. Nonna would continually remind them to “plan your work and work your plan” and that “happiness is an inside job.” Every conversation, phone call, or text (with a dozen emojis) would include: “I love you with all of my heart!” Those left to cherish her memory include her mother, Cleo Treadway; her sister, Connie Dewald (Chuck); her brother; Dr. Jon Treadway (Becky); her husband of forty years, Eddie Matthews; her daughters, Christy Fellers (Greg) and Heather Montgomery (Gary); her three grandchildren: Matthew Wells, Sarah Beth Wells, and Morgan Fellers; her bonus grandchildren: Christian Montgomery (Meredith), their girls: Celie, Harper, and Finley, and Mason Montgomery; and her adopted family: Mike, Billie Sue, and Madeline Hubbard whom she has always called her own. The family would specially like to thank Joe K. Reid II of Genesis Healthcare for his unwavering support and extra care; nurse Debbie Deisher for her encouragement, love, and prayers through Cherie’s final hours; and Karen Hathaway, NP, for her friendship and care. Cherie would give you all the biggest hugs. Per Cherie’s request, there will not be a funeral service. Those who know her well are aware that she would never want to be an inconvenience or make you get out on a cold day! However, to meet the needs of her family, friends at SSUMC have graciously offered to host a celebration of life service on January 9, 2022 at Sulphur Springs United Methodist Church of Jonesborough, TN at 2:00 p.m. The family requests that you wear bright, festive colors for the celebration as Cherie would want this to be a party. | Treadway, Cherie (I89626)
