Notes:

Earlean Kind, affectionately known as Mama Earl, left her earthly home for Heaven on August 21, 2018, after a lengthy illness at Franklin Woods Hospital.

She was born on November 20,1931, in Shell Creek, Tennessee, to Scott Lawson and Pearl Winters Lawson. They later moved to Johnson City, where she grew up and graduated from Science Hill High School. Shortly after graduation, she became a Marine wife. They moved around quite a bit, but she found herself back home when the Marine Corps stationed her husband in Johnson City as a recruiter.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 61 years, William R. Kind, and her daughter, Cynthia Y. Kind. She was also preceded by a sister, Betty Berry, and three brothers, Charles, Kenneth, and Johnny Lawson. Those left to remember the travels and many school changes while growing up are her sons Rigby (Mimi), Randy (Deb), Ron (Denise), and Dr. Rick Kind (Lori). Also surviving is a brother, Robert Lawson.

Her grandchildren, who were the loves of her life, are Kacy Kind (Chad Smelcer), Cami Kind, Brandon (Laura) Kind, Ryan Kind, Jaclyn (Ryan) Brooks, Caroline (Travis) Bauguess, Shelby (Michael) Hardy, Maddie Kind, Kelsey (Tyler) DeVault, Kyndal Kind, Palmer Kind, and Bennett Kind. Great grandchildren include Olivia and Delaney Brooks, Harper and Hudson Bauguess, Carter and Reese Kind, and Aladaisha Singleton.,

She also leaves behind her very best friends, Pastor Kenneth Kyker and wife Carol, her Boones Creek Baptist Church family, and special niece Kim Sims, who checked on her daily. She had friends Linda Freeman and Connie Tilson and long-time childhood friends Ruth McKinney and Pauline Oliver. She had many nieces and nephews of whom she was particularly fond.

Mama Earl loved her special fur baby Kaylee, whom she inherited from her daughter Cindi, but most of all she loved children. Her home was always open, and when her own children's friends popped in at suppertime, she always put on a smile and an extra plate on the table. She loved to cook, and we thought she was great at it. She and Sarge even took young people into their home for different reasons, some from as far away as Germany and Russia.

Often times our Mama Earl was both mother and father to us when Dad was deployed abroad with the Marines. We think she did an excellent job, and her love will linger forever in our hearts. Her priority in life was her family.

She loved gardening and painting. She grew beautiful flowers, and many of them found their way into her works of art. She also wrote poems and short stories, some of which were published. In addition to just loving life, she enjoyed participating in it. Each year she and Sarge looked forward to the Appalachian Fair. They entered exhibits and won numerous awards and ribbons for their efforts. Sarge won "King of the Skillet" for his wonderful fried chicken, and awards for their beautiful flowers and arrangements.

The Kind family will hold a special Celebration of Life at Morris-Baker Funeral Home on Sunday, August 26, 2018.

Evanell was preceded in death by her Parents: Charlie H. and Delestine Winters-McKinney; Son: Joseph Mark Perry; Sister-In-Law: Wanda McKinney; Brother-In-Law: R.C. Brown; Uncle: Bobby Winters; and a Nephew: Kevin McKinney.

She is also survived by a host of Cousins, Nieces, and Nephews.

Evanell's greatest mission in life was her 45-year nursing career. She worked for several years at Cannon Hospital, then for Dr. Robert Smith, Dr. Freddy Martin and Dr. David Kimmel. While working for Dr. Smith, she and a co-worker, Nola Mae Cook, started dressing up in costumes for Halloween. Evanell dressed as a witch, clown, bike rider or hobo, anything to amuse the patients, especially the elderly. They made sure to get an appointment near Halloween! One day, Dr. Smith was heard making a comment that "at least it wasn't Halloween!" So, Evanell and Lola Mae dressed up like him! Their picture even made the local newspaper!

While working with Dr. Freddy Martin, Evanell and their medical team made more than 15 mission trips to Mexico. They took medical supplies, clothing, blankets, sleeping bags, etc. Evanell usually came back with an empty suitcase and only the clothes on her back! Later they were not allowed to cross the border with medicines.

Evanell was also a gifted wedding cake baker. She started out baking and decorating for friends and family, but soon had a big business.

Our world has been blessed by having Evanell in our lives.

Notes:

Earlean Kind, affectionately known as Mama Earl, left her earthly home for Heaven on August 21, 2018, after a lengthy illness at Franklin Woods Hospital.

She was born on November 20,1931, in Shell Creek, Tennessee, to Scott Lawson and Pearl Winters Lawson. They later moved to Johnson City, where she grew up and graduated from Science Hill High School. Shortly after graduation, she became a Marine wife. They moved around quite a bit, but she found herself back home when the Marine Corps stationed her husband in Johnson City as a recruiter.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 61 years, William R. Kind, and her daughter, Cynthia Y. Kind. She was also preceded by a sister, Betty Berry, and three brothers, Charles, Kenneth, and Johnny Lawson. Those left to remember the travels and many school changes while growing up are her sons Rigby (Mimi), Randy (Deb), Ron (Denise), and Dr. Rick Kind (Lori). Also surviving is a brother, Robert Lawson.

Her grandchildren, who were the loves of her life, are Kacy Kind (Chad Smelcer), Cami Kind, Brandon (Laura) Kind, Ryan Kind, Jaclyn (Ryan) Brooks, Caroline (Travis) Bauguess, Shelby (Michael) Hardy, Maddie Kind, Kelsey (Tyler) DeVault, Kyndal Kind, Palmer Kind, and Bennett Kind. Great grandchildren include Olivia and Delaney Brooks, Harper and Hudson Bauguess, Carter and Reese Kind, and Aladaisha Singleton.,

She also leaves behind her very best friends, Pastor Kenneth Kyker and wife Carol, her Boones Creek Baptist Church family, and special niece Kim Sims, who checked on her daily. She had friends Linda Freeman and Connie Tilson and long-time childhood friends Ruth McKinney and Pauline Oliver. She had many nieces and nephews of whom she was particularly fond.

Mama Earl loved her special fur baby Kaylee, whom she inherited from her daughter Cindi, but most of all she loved children. Her home was always open, and when her own children's friends popped in at suppertime, she always put on a smile and an extra plate on the table. She loved to cook, and we thought she was great at it. She and Sarge even took young people into their home for different reasons, some from as far away as Germany and Russia.

Often times our Mama Earl was both mother and father to us when Dad was deployed abroad with the Marines. We think she did an excellent job, and her love will linger forever in our hearts. Her priority in life was her family.

She loved gardening and painting. She grew beautiful flowers, and many of them found their way into her works of art. She also wrote poems and short stories, some of which were published. In addition to just loving life, she enjoyed participating in it. Each year she and Sarge looked forward to the Appalachian Fair. They entered exhibits and won numerous awards and ribbons for their efforts. Sarge won "King of the Skillet" for his wonderful fried chicken, and awards for their beautiful flowers and arrangements.
