Mrs. Sherron Lee Forshee

Sherron passed on from this life and is now at peaceful rest. She lived her early years in LaBelle, Florida. At 17 yrs she married a Clewiston boy, Kenneth Forshee, moving to San Francisco near his first Army posting. They celebrated 58 yrs together September 2018. Their married life was spent traveling the US with the Army, finally retiring in 1978 in Monroe County Tennessee where Kenneth was born. Sherron fell in love with the Smoky Mountains and kept herself busy keeping the home, assisting with the volunteer fire department and helping with her in-laws' farm. Bald River Falls was a favorite destination where she found respite and solitude. She raised three children across nine states where she was known to encourage them along with her many nieces and nephews in their talents and interests. When Kenneth became disabled, Sherron navigated the VA system with help from the Blount County Veterans Office to help him receive benefits. Whenever she came across other veterans in need, she gladly passed on her wisdom gained through much trial and error so they could get help as well. Sherron was generous with her possessions, time and knowledge of life. She encouraged everyone to be the best they could be and pursue their passions. She was well loved and will be greatly missed. Sherron's parents, Minnie Irene Douglas, James Fussell and nephews Kevin Fussell and Jesse Fussell preceded her in death. She leaves behind her husband Kenneth Wayne Forshee, her children Catherine Denton, Barbara Forshee and Kenton Forshee. She also leaves her son-in-law Jonathan Denton, grandchildren Brandon Bowen, Nikki and Robert Denton along with his wife Kathy and their children her great-granddaughters Katy and Emma Denton. Sherron leaves her sister, Norma Jean Bright, Jerry James Fussell and James Fussell, Jr. along with their families in Florida and North Carolina as well.
