and her love for her family well were known. She had a genuine love for being 

with people, visiting the sick and helping people in need. Also, working in 

her flowers inside and out gave her much joy.

loving husband, Lon David Tipton, and four brothers, Paul Honeycutt, Earl 

Honeycutt, Frank Honeycutt and Zeb Honeycutt, all of Roan Mountain.

Morton of Friendsville, Tenn., and Brian Daniell Hershey and his wife Michelle 

Hershey of Elizabethton; a great-granddaughter, Savannah Dawn Hershey of 

Elizabethton; and a brother and sister-in-law, Fred and Ruth Honeycutt of Roan 

Mountain. Several nieces and nephews also survive.
