Julia, age 35 of Lebanon, passed away July 7, 2024 at Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital after having fought a long battle with cancer. Even in her final moments on earth Julia was ministering to, and witnessing to those around her.

Born February 21, 1989, in Offenbach, Germany, she is the daughter of Bernd and Regine Mueller Zieske. She grew up in Germany and professed Christ as her Savior at a young age. Having a passion for the Jewish people, Julia became involved in gospel ministry in Israel, where she met the love of her life, Dan Coe. Julia and Dan were married September 24, 2011 and began life together as husband and wife. They served in vocational ministry together for around 8 years, around 5 of which were spent with the Baptist Convention in Israel. When Julia received her diagnosis, she met it with grace and boldness. She never complained, but continued to praise the Lord for His goodness in her life. Moving back to the United States, she and Dan continued to serve the people of God in Wilson County. Dan most recently accepted the call to become the Pastor of First Baptist Church of Alexandria, TN.

Mrs. Coe is survived by her husband, Jesse Daniel “Dan” Coe; four children, Olivia, Naomi, Micaiah, & Josiah Coe; parents, Bernd and Regine Mueller Zieske of Bortshausen, Germany; brothers, Christian (Lea) Zieske and Thomas Zieske; maternal grandmother, Christel Muller; father in law and mother in law, Jim and Rachel Coe of Lebanon; nieces, Mila and Toma Zieske; as well as a host of extended family and close friends. The family would like to give a special thanks to the staff of Vanderbilt Wilson for their kindness and compassionate care, as well as the many intimate friends whom have poured into them over the span of this long battle. Their prayer is this, that “God may be glorified”.

Pallbearers: Matt Coe, Marc Coe, Dustin Marcellino, Josh Richardson, Hunter Baker, & Jordan Marcellino.

Mrs. Oleta Robbins Stanton passed away peacefully at age 96 on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, after a long and beautiful life.

Mrs. Stanton was born on Dec. 7, 1927, in Byrdstown, Tenn., to Virgil Winsted Robbins and Donna Myrtle (Reagan) Robbins, the only daughter of six children. She graduated from Pickett County High School in 1946, and dedicated her life to caring for her family, making a home and following her passions.

She was preceded in death by the love of her life, husband Fowler G. Stanton. Together, they built a life on love, family, faith and music in Smithville, Tenn., where they were members of the First United Methodist Church. Mama O deeply loved her children and grandchildren and was passionate in her interests.

While her main priority was being a devoted mom, she also had an eye for fashion and style. (Among the many, many lessons handed down, “Remember, black shoes do not go with everything.”) Mrs. Stanton enjoyed working in local businesses Smithville Dress Shop, Zollicoffer’s and Nichol’s Jewelry. She also served local schools, as a teacher’s assistant at the York Institute and a seamstress for the high school marching bands that Mr. Stanton directed in DeKalb, Smith and Jackson counties.

An avid reader, Mrs. Stanton loved memoirs and biographies, as she enjoyed learning about people, their stories and their lives. There, she fell in love with the Kennedy’s Camelot and Grace Kelly. Mrs. Stanton moved through her life with grace, with a green thumb, training as an archeress, a flair for hostessing and a passion about animal rights causes. Her donations were always anonymous, and her style was always flawless.

Along with her husband, Mrs. Stanton was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Harold, Ralph, Kelly, Keith and Ward Robbins; and stepson Tommy Stanton.

Mrs. Stanton is survived by one son, Harold Edward (Vicki) Copeland of Cookeville, Tenn.; two daughters, Donna Jane Copeland of Nashville, Tenn., and Sonata (Rob) Helbig of Hendersonville, Tenn.; one stepdaughter Melody (Dr. Tim) Foster of Old Hickory, Tenn.; four grandsons, Duke and Dean Rayburn and Ethan and Braden Copeland; two granddaughters, Lauren (Gabe) Fiscus and Katie Foster (fiancé Jan Niec); and great-granddaughter Adelaide Fiscus.

A visitation will be held from 12:30-2 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Love-Cantrell Funeral Home, and a celebration of life officiated with Bro. David Hill will follow.

Memorials in Mrs. Stanton’s honor may be made to Red Cedar Glen Senior Living, 202 Walton Ferry Rd., Hendersonville, TN 37075; or the First United Methodist Church Capital Campaign, P.O. 95, Smithville, TN 37166.
