- Mars Hill - Koeppie "Maw" Gentry Cutshall stepped into eternity for a grand reunion with her Lord Jesus Christ on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2005.
She was 87 years old and had resided at Madison Manor Nursing Home for the last few years of her life. She was a native of Madison County and Shelton Laurel community.
Koeppie was the daughter of the late John and Dora Gentry. She was preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, Earl Cutshall; her only beloved daughter, Doris Cutshall Franklin; brothers, Chester Gentry, Dewey Gentry and Joe Gentry; and sister, Roxie Shelton Wilkerson.
Maw was a devoted mother and grandmother to her family and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Leland and Lillie Cutshall, of Hot Springs, R.J. and Linda Cutshall and Philip and Tammy Cutshall of Mars Hill; son-in-law, Van Franklin of Shelton Laurel; sister, Muncie Gosnell and her husband, Martin, of Marshall; brothers, Doward Gentry and his wife, Robeana, of Asheville and Carson Gentry and his wife, Louise, of Johnson City, Tenn. Her loving grandchildren, Lisa Shelton of Hot Springs, Scott Cutshall of Hot Springs, Stevie Franklin of Mars Hill, Sandy McDevitt of Marshall, Macon Cutshall of Mars Hill, Ronnie Cutshall of Mars Hill and Hannah Cutshall and Justin Cutshall of Mars Hill also will miss Maw's wonderful passion for life. Maw's great-grandchildren, Mitchell Burleson, Dillion Cutshall, Buddy and Tanner Franklin, Jonathan and Tyler McDevitt, Ryan Cutshall and Andrew and Grace Cutshall also mourn her passing. Her close family is further evidence of her character and the love for others that she passed on to her children.
Maw loved her garden, her family and her neighbors. She cooked the best chicken casserole her grandkids ever tasted and taught most of them to fish in the river in front of her house before she experienced the strokes that robbed her of her independence. She was a faithful friend to many in her community and was a member of Chapel Hill Baptist Church.
The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Madison Funeral Home.
The funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Chapel Hill Baptist Church with the Revs. Jack Smith, Jimmy Huey and Martin Fisher officiating. The body will be placed in the church 30 minutes prior to the service. Burial will follow in Memorial Church of God Cemetery. Grandsons and great-grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
