VELDA HENDRICKS Obituary

HENDRICKS, VELDA JUNE REPASS - age 83, of Knoxville, TN went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 14, 2012 at Baptist Health Care Center, Lenoir City, TN, after 10 years of battling Alzheimer's disease. She was born on January 29, 1929 in Kingsport, TN, to Lawrence and Laura Repass. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jim and oldest son, Michael. Survivors include her son and daughter-in-law, Tony and Carolyn Hendricks; daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Joel Apley; grandchildren, Jeremy Hendricks, Bailey Hanson, Dylan Apley and Hunter Apley; great grandchildren, Brenden Hanson and Avery Hanson. She was retired from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and prior to her illness loved to travel, play bridge and enjoy her family. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made to Alzheimer's Association, American Heart Association, or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The family would like to express their tremendous gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful and caring staff at Baptist Health Care Center for the compassionate and loving care they provided for the last three years. Family and friends will gather at Highland Memorial Cemetery at 2:30 p.m. Saturday for a 3:00 p.m. graveside. You may sign June's register online at

November 21, 2012

Lisa and all who loved Momma June- I keep you in my prayers each and every day. Lisa, you were such a good daughter. You took care of your Momma and she knows that. Momma June is in heaven with Pappy and Mike. Now she knows and watches over her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. I am sure she would have loved to play a game (hours on end) of Uno with Brenden, Avery, Dylan and Hunter just like she did with Jeremy and Bailey.. She is free now of this horrible disease and at peace. Prayers and love to you.
