Edna Diane Dean's Obituary
Edna Diane (Hedgepath) Dean, 74, went to meet her Lord on October 18, 2020.
She was born on September 25, 1946 to the late John and Edna Hedgepath in

of helping others through nursing. In 1974 after serving the community as an LPN she earned her Registered Nursing license from University of Tennessee and continued her service throughout a long, fulfilling career. Her passion for sewing and quilting grew into a passion for teaching others these arts.
