resident of Manchester, TN, died in her sleep on June 10, 2021. Terri is
survived by her mother Thelma “Jane” Chambers; brother, Roger Chambers;
special niece, Raegan Chambers; special nephew, Grant Chambers; and many
other close family members. She was preceded in death by her father
“Johnny” Wayne Chambers and her husband, Finis “Randy” Buckner. Terri was
born in Manchester, TN, on December 6, 1958 to Jane Chambers and the late
Johnny Chambers. She attended and graduated from Coffee County High School
where she was a basketball cheerleader and a softball player for a
tournament team and valedictorian of her graduating class. She continued
her education at Tennessee Tech University and received her Bachelor’s and
Master’s degrees in Elementary Teaching. She started her teaching career at
Tracy City High School and Pelham Elementary, then continued on to College
Street Elementary School. Terri concluded her 35 year teaching career at
College Street where she enjoyed helping students realize their reading
potential, decorating her classroom with crazy pens, and participating in
school events. She met her late husband, Randy Buckner, at the beginning of
her teaching career and they married on August 12, 1981. Terri later
attended John A. Gupton College where she received her funeral director and
embalming licenses and graduated as Valedictorian of her class. Terri,
along with her husband Randy, established Central Funeral Home in
Manchester after her licensure. She was also a member of Red Hill Church of
Christ. Terri spent most of her time devoted to her late husband Randy
Buckner and their funeral home, however in their spare time, they enjoyed
traveling, searching for unique antiques, spending time with family, and
helping their community in any way possible. Both were avid entertainers
and inseparable together. Terri was a unique, intelligent, and interesting
woman often taking pictures yet avoiding the camera herself, doing yard
work such as mowing, and spending time with her dogs. She will be
remembered by her loved ones as a generous, loving person who loved to love
and be loved; a person with a quick wit and infectious laugh and smile. In
her last years, similar to her late husband, Terri suffered a long battle
with cancer and died peacefully in her home surrounded by family and

Charlotte Ann (GranGran) Shetter, age 91 of Tullahoma, TN, was born on February 16, 1930, in Athens, Alabama, to the late Willard Paul Mason and Dezzie Lee (McConnell) Mason. She is preceded in death by her adoring husband of 61 years, Carl Edward Shetter and infant daughter, Penelope Gail Shetter. Her family will continue to cherish her memories: Children: Tricia Peck (Dave) Brentwood, TN; Paul Shetter, Las Vegas, NV; and Pam Shetter, Brentwood, TN. Grandchildren: Chris Peck (Dria), Carlsbad, CA; Chad Peck, Seattle, Washington; Lauren (Peck) Cannon (Shawn), Brentwood, TN: Great-Grand Children: Marley (Shelby), Micah, Masah, and Isla Peck, Carlsbad, CA; and Charlotte and Caldwell Cannon, Brentwood, TN. Great-Great-Grandchild: Otis Peck, Carlsbad, CA. Charlotte had one sibling, an older sister: Mary Glenn Hearne, Alpharetta, GA. Niece: Mary Lynn Campbell (Don), Great Niece: Lindsey Campbell, Alpharetta, GA. Special Family Friends: Nadine Myers; Todd Williams. Charlotte was a proud…very proud graduate of the University of Alabama. She never referred to the university as merely “Bama”or “Alabama,” rather “The University of Alabama.” She loved to attend UT football games and when Tennessee and Alabama played football, she would sit in the Tennessee section with her crimson shirt and proudly wave her Alabama flag. Her grandchildren were diehard Auburn fans, which produced many lively bantering episodes during the football season. Always out of respect though, “Gran Gran,” had the last word. Charlotte began her professional career as a teacher in Nashville, TN in 1951. She retired in 2005 after forty years at West Middle School in Tullahoma, TN, in the roles of Science Teacher and Guidance Counselor. Charlotte’s objective in teaching was using any creative teaching method to support each student in reaching their full potential. Charlotte was kind, always exhibiting her gentle spirit, and was loved by all who knew her. Her family meant the world to her and she looked forward to the holidays and the joy of “all being together” more than any gift. Her holiday dining table would be set with beautiful china and crystal and all the wonderful food that she spent hours preparing. She was famous for her sourdough bread, chess pie and coconut cake. She always wanted to make sure everyone had plenty to eat and would start lunch plans immediately after the last breakfast dish was washed. The Christian life was the focus of everything Charlotte did and her passion was always serving and teaching others about Jesus…and she did so with every opportunity that came her way. Charlotte taught Sunday School classes for children, teenage girls and adult women. She was still teaching Sunday School class at 90 years old and would spend hours preparing for her class. Her Christian spirit was contagious and a constant influence to her family and to all who knew her. A Soul as kind, generous, and loving as Charlotte’s is impossible to forget because it is etched into all of our hearts forever. Visitation will be held on Sunday, June 13th, 2021 at Kilgore Funeral Home from 2:00-4:00pm. The funeral service will be held on Monday, June 14th, 2021 at 11:00am in the Kilgore Funeral Home Chapel with Bill Watkins officiating. A graveside service will follow at 3:00pm at Athens City Cemetery in Athens, Alabama. Kilgore Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Mrs. Eileen Dorothy Levengood, age 68, was born in Farmingdale, New York on February 8, 1953. She entered her eternal resting place on June 5, 2021. After more than 20 years of serving the community through her time at Hillsville Utility, she retired in 2020. Her advice to you, if you wanted to hear it, would be to retire sooner and enjoy as much time with your family and friends as possible. Working a few extra years for a couple extra dollars a month that you don’t get to enjoy isn’t worth it. Eileen enjoyed watching her grandkids grow up, especially at the softball fields, reading, crocheting and finding simple ways to bless those she loved. If you enjoy a dry sense of humor and a healthy dose of sarcasm, you would have loved her. Eileen was preceded in death by her parents, William and Dorothy Schenck and her husband, Richard Levengood. She is survived by two sisters, Linda (Jim) Eckardt and Ruth Yanofsky, and one brother, William A. Schenck, eight children, Diana (Fred) Hazell, Ric Levengood, Michelle Rivera, Kathleen (Patrick) Metz, Teresa (Lee) Gault, Lori (Jeremy) Freeman, Billy (Jodi) Levengood, and Stephanie (Justin) Stotts. She also leaves behind twenty-five grandchildren including Roland, David, Chevy, Reyna, Barbara, Fred, Dori, Ryan, Emily, Jordan, Brandon,
Madisyn, Cheyenne, Ayden, Janissa, Hailey, Jason, Ethan, Elliana, Will, Matthew, Isaac, Bennett, Cole and Wyatt, along with many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Family will receive friends on Friday, June 11, 2021, from 11:00am until 1:00pm at Encounter Life Church in Manchester, TN. Funeral services will be conducted immediately following
visitation at 1:00pm with Billy Levengood officiating. Burial will follow in Forest Mill Cemetery in Manchester. Central Funeral Home is serving the family, 931-723-7774, centralfuneralhome.com
