Earl Liford age 87 of Philadelphia passed Friday, December 13, 2024, at the UT Medical Center. Earl enjoyed spending his days with trips to Carls and to the Stockbarn. He never met a stranger, and entertained folks by telling a tale or two, leaving them to wonder, "was it the truth?" Earl rarely missed a Loudon or Greenback parade. He loved his friends, his community, but most importantly he loved his family. Earl is preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Ethel (Hurst) Liford; his wife, Sarah (Walden) Liford; his brother, J.B.
