Howard, Sr. Shady Valley, TN; and Malcolm Howard (Sue), Mountain City, TN, along with several nieces and nephews.

Trula was a lifetime resident of Johnson County, and like so many of her generation in this community, she grew up on the family farm alongside her seven siblings where happy memories and strong ties were formed. She graduated from JCHS in 1941, went to work at Farmers State Bank and then attended Johnson City Business College, after which she worked at Hamilton Bank in Johnson City.

Trula ran the family insurance agency for several years and was a highly competent business woman. She never met a stranger and touched many lives with generous gestures of kindness and encouragement. She had a unique talent for making each person in her life feel special and loved.

She was a dedicated servant of the Lord. Her church, First Baptist, was a very important part of her life. There she served on various committees, taught a Sunday school class for many years and along with Chloe Eads started the first nursery in the mid 50's (to help corral the three rowdy boys). In her later years, Trula enjoyed visits from her family and many friends, and always wore that warm and caring smile.

Her faith always came first. She was a devoted mother who worked diligently to help each of her children achieve success and happiness. But more than anything she was committed to making certain all her children and grandchildren knew the Lord and always put him first in their lives. She shared that message with all she met.

All her family especially appreciate Cathy, who has been an angel by her side and has given selflessly of her time and energy during the past several years.

A grateful thank you is extended to all her caregivers: Frances Brooks, Mary Gale, Mary Ann Gambill, Annie Lee Lowe, Carolyn Ray and other with Amedisys Home Health Care and Silver Angels.

Notes:

JOHNSON CITY - Basil Lyle Blackburn, age 76, of Johnson City, Tennessee went home to be with the Lord at his home on Thursday, June 8, 2023 surrounded by his beloved family. Basil was born in Elizabethton and raised in Johnson County and Hampton, to the late Fred Blackburn and Dora Rita (Grindstaff) Blackburn. In addition to his parents, Basil was also preceded in death by his great grandson, “Little Man”- Richard Killian Owens; several aunts and uncles; his mother-in-law, Myrtle Moody; and his brother-in-law, Wayne Hicks.

Basil was a mechanic by trade and could fix anything! He never gave up on trying or doing anything he put his mind too but most of all he loved and cherished his family. Basil had excelled at many things and had a wonderful, hard-working heart of gold. He had owned and operated a Roadrunner Express Delivery Service, Mr. B’s Service Center and Aunt B’s Restaurant. To say he was talented would be a tremendous understatement.

Basil attended Pinecrest Baptist Church where he was a former Deacon. He attended church religiously until his health prevented it. He had also worked with the youth of the church in past years, including youth trips and outings. Basil loved all animals, but especially his dog, Reese. A family man at heart, Basil treasured his trips with his family to the beach, riding motorcycles and children of all ages that were drawn to Basil because of his kind, loving heart.

Those left to remember and cherish Basil’s memories include his loving wife, Phyllis Blackburn; two sons, Brian Blackburn and Chad (Mandy) Blackburn; his granddaughters, Brianna Owens and Allison (Hunter) Hampton; his brother, Albert (Tammy) Blackburn and his sister, Darlene (Carl) Taylor and family; his sister-in-law, Pat Moody Hicks; several nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members also survive as well as his special cousins, Kenny Grindstaff and Charlie Grindstaff, special niece, Sherry Tilson, special family friend, Shirley Butler and many, many friends that will miss him so very much, too many to list, but they know they were loved.
