Publish in a newspaper

Addie Laverne Shuford, 77, of Lynchburg, Tennessee died on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at her residence in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Born Saturday, January 10, 1948, in Newbern, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Clyde Jones, Sr. and the late Alma Carolyn Williams Jones.

Laverne was a talented hairdresser for nearly thirty years, a profession she truly loved and where she made many lifelong friendships. Locally, she worked at Hilltop Hair for several years and was known for her warm smile, skilled hands, and the way she made each client feel special.

She enjoyed quilting and found joy in creating pieces that will be treasured for years to come. She loved her morning coffee, especially when it was shared with her beloved Tuesday ladies. Laverne also had a fondness for shopping-whether it was finding the perfect pair of shoes, a new purse, or her latest discovery on Temu.

Most of all, she cherished time spent with her family and friends, making memories that will be held close in their hearts forever.

Funeral services for Mrs. Shuford will be held at 12:00 PM on Friday, September 19, 2025, in the Chapel of Johnson-Williams Funeral Home. Officiating this service will be Bro. Steven Spires. Interment will follow in Fairview Cemetery in Dyersburg, Tennessee. Visitation will be held on Friday from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM at Johnson-Williams Funeral Home.

She leaves to cherish her memory, two sons, Tommy Henson (Kim) of Newbern, Tennessee and Shane Henson (Jennifer) of Lynchburg, Tennessee; one daughter, Rochelle Patrick (Mike) of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; two brothers, Clyde Jones, Jr. (Shirley) of Dyersburg, Tennessee and Donnie Jones (Maxine) of Lincolnton, North Carolina; sister-in-law, Patsy Jones of Dyersburg, Tennessee and she was grandmother to Wesley (Ashley), John Taylor (Meagan), Hannah (Jerry), Morgan, Justin (Jennifer and Bracken and eight great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Shuford and two sisters, Elizabeth Webber and Debbie Williams and one brother, Danny Jones, Sr.
