Louise Whitson Obituary
April 10, 2025
LIMESTONE - Louise Whitson, age 84, Limestone, passed away peacefully at her home on April 10, 2025. She was born in Burnsville, North Carolina to the late Ben and Grace Styles. Louise was a longtime member, Sunday school teacher, and leader of "Willing Workers" at Westside Christian Church in Jonesborough.
Louise's greatest joy came from spending time with her family and fostering a loving environment. She never met a stranger and had the gift of hospitality. She was a true caretaker in every sense of the word, from her family to the elderly. She loved to garden, can vegetables, and plant flowers. Gatherings at her home were anticipated and enjoyed by many for decades. You were guaranteed never to leave her house hungry.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by husband of 61 years, Bill Whitson, an infant son, Christopher, granddaughter, Emily Beth Whitson; and brothers, Henry, Lee, Phillip, and Bill Styles.
Louise is survived by her daughter, Melanie Warden of Gray, grandchildren, Caleb and Chelsey, Maddie and Colton; her son, Jeff Whitson and wife Lori, grandchildren, Ashley and Aaron, Taylor and Amanda; her daughter, Susie Wolfe and husband Todd, grandchildren Delanie and Nathan, and Haley and Michael; great-grandchildren: Kimber, Ella, Laurel, Maple, Cason, Lincoln, Cohen, Millie, and Livie, her sister, Faye Ballard, as well as many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends on Monday, April 14, 2025 at Westside Christian Church, 1405 Persimmon Ridge Rd, Jonesborough, TN 37659, from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm. A funeral service will be immediately following at 7:00 pm with Ministers, Todd Wolfe and Clint Andrews officiating. A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 2:00 pm in Roselawn Memory Gardens. Those attending are asked to please meet at the cemetery by 1:50 pm. Pallbearers will be grandsons: Caleb Warden, Taylor Whitson, Nathan Winningham, Michael Rice, Aaron Church, and Colton Horne.

Our Dear Sweet Aunt Louise, you were a true Joy and blessing in every life you touched. Even though we lived far away you always managed to check on us regularly and send us those beautiful thoughtful cards that we hold dear. When we did see you, Uncle Bill and the family what a fun time we all had, you were always smiling and happy.
It´s now time to join Uncle Bill and the others in peace and we know you will be the life of the party. Our deepest sympathies are with your friends and family but they know just like us you are showering everyone with your blessed love and joy. Aunt Louise we were so blessed and truly honored to know your beautiful soul, Love Mike and Donna
