Molly Risner Obituary
Miss Risner was born in Atlanta, Ga., the daughter of Tommy Lynn and Virginia Caroline "Ginny" Treadwell Risner. She was a freshman at Motlow College. Miss Risner was a 2006 graduate of Tullahoma High School, where she was a member of the THS Golf Team. She was also a member of First United Methodist Church and Kings Cross Church, both of Tullahoma. She was preceded in death by two grandfathers, Robert Earl Risner and Edgar Douglas Treadwell, III.
Along with her parents, she is survived by one sister, Mallory Risner, of Tullahoma; two grandmothers, Tommie Sue Risner, of Florence, Ala., and Joyce Treadwell, Labelle, Fla.; and her aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
Pallbearers will be Chance Banks, J.T. Moore, Bradley Coryell, Jonathan Coryell, Patrick Coryell, Tyler Trovillo, Logan Mann, Scott Wimsatt, Evan Waller and Daniel Trail.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations be made to the Molly Risner Scholarship Fund at the Bank of Tullahoma to be awarded annually to a senior of Tullahoma High School, and the American Cancer Society 110 North Jackson Street, Tullahoma, TN 37388.
Arrangements made by Tullahoma Funeral Home.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think my son John Ashley and Molly were in kindergarten together at Harlan in Florence, AL. My memories of Molly are that she was so cute and real outgoing. I'll be praying for all of you; I just can't imagine your grief, but know that God is good and He will sustain you all.

I WAS ONLY AROUND MOLLY A FEW WEEKS, BUT I COULD TELL SHE WAS SPECIAL. WE WENT TO EAT LUNCH LAST SUMMER WHEN SHE WORKED AT TNT FIREWORKS. I JUST WISH NOW I WOULD HAVE HAD THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW HER BETTER.
WITH GREAT SYMPATHY,

Molly,
When I think of you, I relive my childhood. The potions we used to make and the ghost hunts we went on at Grandmother's house. Pulling pranks on Jerry and riding four-wheelers at Uncle Scott's. You will always be with me and I will always miss you. I'll also be praying for Tom, Ginny, Mal, and the Dwarfs. I love you!!

Molly was loved by all who knew her and her spirit will always be with us because of her positive attitude, infectious smile and kind heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and we are here for you at any time.
With Love,

You will greatly be missed by all of us. I love you and will see you again in heaven. Make sure you give Papa Bobby and Mama Risner a big hug for me. It just won't be the same not to see or hear you laughs and jokes. Love you!!!

Dear Molly,
I will miss that big beaming smile of yours every time I was around you. You brought me much joy with your beauty and great sense of humor just with your presence.
I know that you’re in your heavenly home and have finally defeated all your hardships of this earthly home. Some day I'll get to see and hug you again with our father in heaven above.
This is one of the hardest things that I’ve that to endure with your dad. I hope that this will at least stress the lessons to some other young friend of yours that your mom and dad have tried to make you award of. And that maybe they will get their life in order and be a blessing to their parents as you were to yours.
Love,
Uncle Bob….
