lived in Ohio, where their three children were born, as well as Florida, Texas and
eventually back to Tennessee.

the Funny Farm Rescue Ranch, Pinson, TN.

Ebert of Henderson; two granddaughters, Nicole (Jeremy) Evans of Henderson
and Erika Romanchik of Pensacola, FL; six great-grandchildren, three great-great
