Rev. Jack E. Maxwell, 88, of Cross Lanes, WV went home to be with Jesus on January 13, 2021.  Jack was the child of Albert and Mabel Davis Maxwell, and was born on an Indian Mission in Dorados, Brazil. We believe this is where his true servant heart, love for Christ, his love for people, sense of humor, love of travelling and adventure began.

Preceded in death by his siblings; wife, Elizabeth; and a son, Edward.

Left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Elizabeth of Cross Lanes, and Priscilla of Montreat, North Carolina; and numerous nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.

Jack lived in Brazil for the first 8 years of his life, having jungle adventures with his siblings, and the Indians they lived with on the mission. The adventures continued as the family moved around the South. He attended Maryville College in Tennessee with his twin sister, Jean, then went on to attend with his brothers, Sidney and David, at the Columbia Theological Seminary in Georgia. He was then an Ordained Minister for the rest of his life.

Jack’s top passion was people. He truly loved people and made sure each person he met felt loved and knew they were important and had worth. If you were ever around him, you were sure to hear that he loved you, but most importantly to him was for you to know you were loved by Jesus. This was the goal of his life. He also had a love of travel and went all over the world telling people about Jesus in Brazil, Columbia, Jamaica, Israel, Cuba, Canada, Italy, Austria, Belgium, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, and Paraguay. He even developed his own Gospel Tract he called a “pink slip” and passed those out to anyone he would meet.

Jack loved photography and would often be spotted with a camera around his neck, taking pictures of people, places, and events. He loved the outdoors, and loved hunting, fishing, and being at the Ocean. Due to the Covid pandemic the family will not be having a service at this time but will plan a great celebration of this good man in a few months when it is safe to gather again.

She graduated from Morristown High School in 1959 and attended nursing school at Fort Sanders Presbyterian School of Nursing, graduating in 1962 as an RN. Later she attended Maryville College to obtain her B.A. Degree in 1987.

In the spring of 1988, she suffered a stroke which left her partially paralyzed, but she continued to work as a Nursing Instructor at the Tennessee Technology Center in Harriman, TN until her retirement in 2003. It wasn’t uncommon to find several of her students at her house studying during the week as she was as devoted to them as they were to her. In 2011 she became wheelchair-bound, but she was a woman of deep Faith, reading her Bible every day and sharing her faith with everyone she encountered. It was a very common occurrence to find her studying the Bible with family and friends daily in her own home. When able, she attended the Kingston Church of Christ. The Graveside service was held at Roane Memorial Gardens in Rockwood, TN on Saturday, October 31, 2020.

Harold Dean "Dadger" Mays, 85, of Fayetteville, AR passed away Tuesday, June 5, 2018 in Fayetteville. He was born March 25, 1933 in Knoxville, TN to Leonard Leon Mays and Mary Elizabeth (Craig) Mays. He was a retired choral director for South High School as well as South-Young High School in Knoxville, TN. He was a U.S. Army veteran of the Korean Conflict as well as a member of Lonsdale United Methodist Church in Knoxville. In 1959 he began his teaching career at South High School. Until he retired from teaching in 1985, he directed one of the region's finest choral programs, directing stage productions, taking his choruses to compete in regional competitions, placing South Knoxville students in city-wide concerts, and even making a recording of their efforts. While other high school choral directors were content for their students to sing pop songs, "Mays" chose a demanding repertoire of classical and traditional music. Yet, chorus was still the most popular course at South High School. His goal for his students was "to love music, the way I do." These efforts were rewarded publicly when the City of Knoxville proclaimed July 22, 2012 as Harold D. Mays Day. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Lowry Mays.
