As a manager for Woolworth Department Store for over 18 years, he found his home in Knoxville and eventually opened Family Pantry Markets with his partner and served as VP of Operations for 15 years. Ann was born in 1924 in Lerona, West Virginia to John Floyd and Della (Farley) Thompson. She was a loving and nurturing homemaker and later became an LPN. She will always be remembered for putting others first. Val and Ann were longtime members of Fountain City United Methodist Church, where they served in various capacities over the years. OL served there as the Chairman of Finance for several years. They were also active supporters of Knox County Association of Retarded Citizens. OL served as treasurer there for several years. They had moved to Bonita Springs, Florida in the fall to be close to family. They leave a legacy of integrity, love and faith.
