Loretta Lynn Milam

Loretta Lynn (Vines) Milam, 58, of Birchwood, TN, went peacefully from the arms of her son and daughter-in-law to the arms of Jesus at her son's home in Charleston, TN.

She was preceded in death by grandparents, Jewell Wright and Mose Dunn; mother, Jo Ann (Trentham) Cofer; fathers, Doyle Vines Sr. and Robert Farmer; and sister, Lisa Ann Dillard.

She is survived by her son, Joshua Kelly (Melissa); siblings, Sara Marshall, Karen Rogers (Pete), Candy Grisham (Bryan), Doyle Vines Jr; and many nieces and nephews.

Loretta loved her family with all she had. She liked going camping and fishing--a true country girl. She loved arts and crafts, from crochet to painting--anything to keep her mind and hands busy. She cherished her little nieces, Layla and Ama, and was so thankful for the time she got to spend with them.

We will miss her dearly, but the Lord rescued her and she has been set free from the chains of her ailments. She has been taken home to be with family that has already gone that she has missed so terribly the past few years.
