Frances Lorene Galyon, 72, of Knoxville, Tennessee, slipped from this life and into the arms of Jesus on May 30, 2014. She was born on June 26, 1941 and was a member of The Old Rugged Cross Missionary Baptist Church. She was preceded in death by her husband James Reo Galyon. She is survived by her sons James, Jr. (Brandee) and Terry (Jill); grandchildren Jasmine, Cade, Clementine, Adalynn Grace, Charleigh, and James III "Chip"; and sister-in-law Anna Ruth Mowery. She will be remembered for both her absolute and unwavering faith in the Lord and her wholehearted love of her family, who will miss her voice traveling the telephone lines and lifting the rafters in songs of praise; her cards in the mail; the giant peppermint sticks she stuffed in all ten stockings at Christmas; the bunny cakes she made at Easter; and all of the countless ways in which she blessed and brightened their lives.
Funeral service 1:00 pm Tuesday at Mynatt Funeral Home Fountain City Chapel. Family and friends will then proceed to Lynnhurst Cemetery for interment. The family will receive friends 6:00 -8:00 pm Monday at Mynatt Funeral Home Fountain City Chapel.
