| 5854 | Mary Ethel Hodges Ryan of Elizabethton has passed away. She suffered for several years with Alzheimer’s and her family and friends suffered with her. Only those familiar with the disease can understand the sorrow that loved ones have as they watch a mind and body be here, but not be here. Whose eyes look at you, dark and deep yet giving no sign of recognition. Losing the ability to walk, talk, eat and drink. Who will smile now and then and make our world brighter for a brief moment. The long goodbye. Mary was an angel that touched the lives of many. She was beautiful inside and out and carried herself like a fashion model or a Pole Dancer as her husband told how he met her at a nightclub in Kingsport while in college. She could have been a pole dancer, but she was really a wife, mother and an Administrative Assistant at the Smyth County Virginia Career and Technology Center. She worked under three Principals, with many close faculty members, and hundreds of students over the many years helping others with their lives. Mary was inducted into the Smyth County Tech Center Hall of Fame in 2012. Mary was the daughter of Paul and Jessie Hodges, growing up in the Central Community of Carter County. She was a 1963 graduate of Happy Valley High School. She was a Sophomore Class officer, Pep Club Officer, FHA member, Bible Club member, Annual Staff Editor, Junior Class Homecoming Representative, President Beta Club, Most Popular Senior Class, Graduation Grand Marshall, DAR Good Citizenship award winner, Girls State Representative, Honor Grad, Homecoming Attendant Senior year, and member of the Bowling League. Mary grew up in Sinking Creek Baptist Church and she and Dick were later married there. She attended ETSU until daughter, Christina Leigh was born. Mary and family lived in Titusville, Florida, Saltville and Chilhowie, Virginia. Mary attended Riverside Baptist in Chilhowie and also Chilhowie Methodist Church. Mary was always very active in her churches and became a member of the First United Methodist Church in Elizabethton after she and family moved back home. Mary and Dick were Grand Marshalls of the Chilhowie Virginia Apple Festival parade in 2016 and spent much of their time doing volunteer work with the libraries, Chilhowie Town Park and walking trail. Mary was designated as one of SMYTH COUNTY’S MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, recognized for her volunteer and career work. She was also a volunteer ambassador at the Smyth County Tourism Center. Both being in the school business, Mary probably attended over 500 athletic events beginning at their first stop in Titusville, and continuing at Rich Valley High School, and Chilhowie Middle School. She was usually present at not only athletic events, but band concerts, Choir and Band competitions, spelling bees, and anything having to do with the schools or Town and County events. Mary helped start the Friends of the Chilhowie Public Library and was their first President. Mary’s daughter Christy says, “Mom was one of the smartest and talented people I have ever known. She was so meticulous, after breaking her arm in a fall at home, she had to put on her makeup, comb her hair and change clothes before letting me take her to the Emergency Room. She could do anything from sewing beautiful dresses for her grandchildren to laying a brick fireplace in our den. She was one of the few who could adjust the carburetors on our MGB Convertible. She loved supporting dad as he played ball and then coached for many years. She loved her grandchildren more than life and loved to play with them and watch them grow up. But most of all Mom loved her Lord and I know she will be celebrated in Heaven by her loved ones and will be sick no more.” Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Jessie (Berry) and Paul Hodges, and brother, Jerry Hodges. She is survived by her husband, Richard (Dick) Ryan; daughter, Christina and husband Mike Brand; granddaughters, Jessica Woodall and husband Dan Campbell, Delaney Woodall, Brogan Woodall, Piper Woodall, and grandson, Gunner Woodall Ryan and fiancé, Emma Prescott; great-grandsons, Javion and Jamari Jones; nephews, Jerry, Todd and Steve Hodges; and niece, Laura Susan Slagle; sister-in-law, Patsy Grady and husband Derwood; her aunts, Be????y Berry, Wanda Hodges; several cousins; her best friend, Donna Mast Smith, and many friends. Our deepest thanks to the many friends who helped Mary in her final time: neighbors, Sharon Culler, Susan Hathaway, Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Miller, Hillview Health Center, Christian Assisted Living and the wonderful caregivers there. Our local Alzheimer’s Association, the First United Methodist Church of Elizabethton, her many friends and colleagues in Smyth County, Virginia, Doctor Ryan Hackett, who has been so caring and in-touch with Mary and Dick. Doctor Hackett has been what all doctors should be. To Caris Healthcare Hospice and especially Taylor and Cassidy, who always gave their best and beyond. Our friends at the Johnson City Memorial Park Community Center. Tetrick Funeral Home and Happy Valley Memorial Park, especially Bill and Richard Tetrick. “I have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon, in the round-tower of my heart. And there will I keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, all the walls shall crumble to ruins and moulder in dust away. The Children’s Hour~ Longfellow. Mary is an organ donor and will then be cremated. | Hodges, Mary Ethel (41309343)

| 5887 | Mary Lou Johnson Banner passed away at home with her daughter, Louise Banner tending to her every need with the assistance of home care hospice services provided by AMOREM at age 96 on April 14, 2023. She remained active into her 90s driving her car up until she was 92 years old. Mary Lou continued to start every day studying her Bible lesson in the morning up until a few days before her passing. Throughout her older years she was constantly active and appeared to be 10-15 years younger than her chronological age. Perhaps it was her straight back, good posture and determined attitude that added to her personality and appearance. Throughout her 80s she was always busy trying to get it all done, whether making five quarts of pulled butter mints in the morning, a recipe she had made for over 65 years, or assembling ingredients for her Mary Lou's Famous Homemade Fruitcakes. Louise Banner, her daughter, assisted her for many years making the family recipe of Mary Lou's grandmother Elizabeth Baird Hughes' family from the 1800s even selling the cakes online and now her daughter Louise continues the family business. Mary Lou kept busy throughout the years with her plants from digging up bulbs to tenderly taking care of new and "old timey" flowers at her parent's, Jete and Louise Hughes Johnson's home in the Hughes community. During her 80s Mary Lou would sit at the upright piano and play those old soulful hymns. Mary Lou played music from memory, her fingers bent with age, instantly glided over worn piano keys and made that old piano talk at the home place. Although hard of hearing from years of working at the TRW factory outside of Newland for 15 years, Mary Lou could feel the music, it just seemed to flow out of her. In her younger years, Mary Lou was a self-taught hair stylist, she tended to the ladies throughout Avery County and some came as far as Bristol, Tenn.; Atlanta, Ga.; and Greensboro, NC. Mary Lou was an avid bird watcher and feeder. If she did not have enough feeders, Mary Lou would concoct one out of an old glass soda bottle, nothing got past her. She was a child of the depression and made a penny go a long way. Mary Lou had a wonderful memory and could tell so many fascinating family stories from long ago. She was well known for her sense of humor and could go on for hours keeping people laughing. Up until the last week of her life she enjoyed watching all types of sports, she knew which teams were playing and who was favored to win. She had her favorite teams and enjoyed talking about them. Relatives ready to welcome Mary Lou to her heavenly home included her grandparents, Marcus Brownlow and Elizabeth Baird Hughes; parents, Jete and Louise Hughes Johnson; sisters: Bernice Fowler, Nelle Wetmore; and brothers: Ralph (died in infancy), Bruce and Robert Johnson and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. Those left to share memories of Mary Lou include her daughter Louise and Mary Lou's first cousins: Peggy Anne Rice; Bruce's wife, Jean Johnson, Lib Greene, Tom (wife Carol) and Rock Hall; and numerous nieces, and nephews and other cousins. Per Mary Lou's wishes there will not be a formal memorial service at this time. We were blessed to have her these 96 years and feel peace and joy that she has now passed away to go to her eternal home.
