Bessie Mae Delozier-age 87 of Luttrell passed away Wednesday morning, August 8, 2018 at North Knoxville Medical Center. The Lord has called. I must go home. I take this time to say goodbye to my family and friends. I was born May 10, 1931 to a pretty little part Indian girl, age 16, Grace Dotson, who married Bill Line. I married at age 16. God gave me 5 wonderful children, 14 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren. I am so blessed with two wonderful step-daughters, three step-grandsons and one step-granddaughter. I leave lots of good friends. I have one sister, Joann; one son, Dillon and two daughters-in-law, Pat and Gail. God needed my two girls and two boys and took them home to be with Him. I love everyone. When you think of me, do something good for someone.

The family will receive friends 2-4 P.M. Sunday, August 12, 2018 with funeral service to follow at 4 P.M. Sunday, Cooke-Campbell Mortuary Chapel. Interment 11:30 A.M. Monday, August 13, 2018, Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery, 5901 Lyons View Pike, Knoxville, TN. Family and friends will assemble at the cemetery by 11:15 A.M. Arrangements by Cooke-Campbell Mortuary, Maynardville.
