Lois Marie Atkinson Raines (Sally) of Mount Juliet, TN passed away April 1, 2021.

Sally was born to Bonnie and Cleo Atkinson on September 26, 1940. She was a member of the Church of Christ and a dedicated wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend. She was the matriarch, the centerpiece of an extended family that loved her cooking, hospitality and sense of humor — especially on Thanksgiving.
