07/22/2025

RANA PAIGE PRICE was the precious only child of Randa Colwell Price and James Ray Price. She was born in Santa Anna, California on March 21,1967 and passed away on July 20, 2025. She had 3 years of regular childhood until her dad died of Polycystic Kidneys at age 27. What no one knew at the time was that it was hereditary. This gave us all pause. This beautiful, lively little girl with long curly hair blowing in the wind as she ran and played, was selected to carry on the family tradition. The possibility of kidney disease and shortened lifespan was a fact of her life. Yet she was always busy, always making plans, traveling, and eventually, became a Registered Nurse. Even then she was a traveling nurse!

Eventually, kidney disease took command, leading to years of dialysis and inability to work while on the kidney donor list. It turns out that dialysis isn't as much fun as it sounds, but she was alive and had reason to hope, and after about 7 years, she was blessed and gifted with an organ transplant. She was transformed. Rana regained her health and enjoyed a life filled with plans and accomplishments. Until it was not. But what a wonderful 5 years! So many things delayed her being fit enough to be on the donor list this time, which brought us to July 20, 2025. She was very, very ill, and could not be saved.

On July 4, Randa's husband, Dr. Mack Allen Perry died. His funeral was on July 13. Rana was so lovely and energetic at her stepdad's service. She was pleased to see her cousins and other relatives after several years. She even felt like having dinner out and meaningful conversation. These are the memories that will sustain us. Rana was so much fun, and one of the smartest people we knew. She loved Windjammer cruises, Disneyland, dolphins, Cirque du Soleil, wonderful times in London and Paris, and she was always learning. Rana and her uncle Bob were planning a trip to Angkor Wat. She was creative, generous and her gift wrapping was legendary. Rana felt all things were possible, and she proved it.

Rana is deeply missed by her mother Randa Colwell Perry, her aunt and uncle, Jann and Bob Snyder, and friends all over the place.

Funeral service will be 2:00 PM Sunday, July 27th at Friendship Funeral Home with Rev. Wayne Foropoulos officiating. Burial will follow in Bellevernon Cemetery. The family will receive friends Sunday from 12:30 until service time.

07/22/2025

It is with deep sadness and also great joy that the family announces the death and celebration of the life of Master Sergeant Joe Von Camp U.S.A.F. retired. Joe Von passed away at the State Veterans Home in Humboldt, Tennessee, after a lengthy illness.

Joe Von was born in Crockett County, Tennessee on June 12,1932 in the midst of the great depression. He was born the son of sharecroppers. While growing up, Joe Von, along with his siblings, learned the importance of hard work. All of the Camp children wore clothes fashioned from flour sacks and dressed in hand-me-downs. They worked the fields and raised their own food. The manner in which they grew up and their childhood experiences forged a lifelong bond among the siblings. It also created a deep-seeded respect for their parents who insisted they attend school and church.

Upon graduation from Friendship High School, Joe Von did as his brothers had done, and joined the military. Joe Von and his six brothers served our country with pride and their names are displayed on the Crockett County Veterans Memorial at the courthouse in Alamo, Tennessee. During his time in the military, Joe Von's state side assignments included North Dakota and Texas while his overseas locations were in Saudi Arabia, Holland and Germany. Joe Von served our country with honor and distinction and after completing 23 years of military service he retired with an honorable discharge and the thanks of a grateful nation.

Once retired, Joe Von returned with his family to Crockett County, Tennessee where he lived for the remainder of his life. He continued to engage in an active lifestyle which included participation in several years of long-distance running competitions. He expanded his involvement in sports to include bowling leagues as well as participation in the Tennessee Senior Olympics. In 2023, at the age of 91, Joe Von was inducted into the Tennessee Senior Olympic Hall of Fame in recognition of his accomplishments in the sports of Bowling, Shuffleboard, Table Tennis, Horseshoes, Co****le and Track & Field. Joe Von also received a special commendation because of his inspiration to countless people around him to stay active and get involved.

Joe Von's lifetime journey lasted 93 years, one month and six days and ended when he died on July 18, 2025.

This benediction is a tribute to a life well-lived and marks the end of Joe Von's faithful journey:
Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who make the journey with us. So, be swift to love, and make haste to be kind.

Joe Von was preceded in death by his parents, William Luther Camp and Adell McAlister Camp and by his siblings, Katheryn Burke, Dorothy Wilson, Francis Buchanan, Otha "Mac" Camp, Jack Camp, W.L. "Billy" Camp, Ray "Durwood" Camp and Weldon "Shang" Camp.

Joe Von is survived by his brother, Gene "Grady" Camp. He is also survived by his children, Donna Conley, Michael Camp (Kelli), David Camp (Laura), his nine grandchildren, Blake Conley, Columbus Conley, Jeremy Camp, Austin Camp (Rachael), Benjamin Camp, Katie Camp, Alex Camp (Whitney), Nicholas Camp (Sara) and Suzanna Camp. In addition, there are five great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, July 24,2025 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Funeral services will immediately follow at 12:00 PM, at Friendship Funeral Home, 152 Main Street, Friendship, Tennessee.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a veteran's service or any other charity of your choice.

Rex Phillip Wood
September 5, 1965 - June 27, 2025

Rex Phillip Wood was born on September 5, 1965 in Sacramento, California to Glen "Bill" William and
Betty May Yoder Wood and was their 9th and youngest child. Rex was a devout Roman Catholic.

Rex, like his father, had a love of things mechanical and like his mother had a love of creating things
out of materials and making music. Rex shared his parents love of traveling and this sustained him
in his over 25 years as a big rig truck driver. He loved that his office always had changing views to
behold every day. A little over 8 years ago, Rex decided that he wanted to be home every night and
off road, and he made the decision to make a career change into manufacturing. This change, while
greatly different from driving truck, satisfied his love of creating useful items.

Fourteen years ago, Rex and his beloved wife Debra, moved from Northern California to Jackson,
Tennessee and it was a happy fit for him. Rex loved the forests, curvy roads, beautiful blue skies
and the sincere kindness of Tennesseans.

Rex was preceded in death by his father Bill and mother Betty and by his nephew William Wood.

Rex is survived by his wife Debra of 37 years, son Jesse Wood, brother Edward Fitzgerald and seven
sisters: Ruth Ann Woodruff (Gary, belated), Rose Ellen Marlin (Howard, belated), Becky Cree (Mike),
Terry Ledford (Gary, belated), Diana Leon Cox (Kevin), Jo Ella Cheplic (Tom) and Willa Dawn
Whittenburg (Ed), and many nephews, nieces and cousins.

Funeral Mass will be 11:00 am Thursday, July 10, 2025 at St. Mary's Catholic Church with Father Jonathan Perez officiating. Rosary will be 10:30 am Thursday with visitation beginning at 10:00.

Mack Allen died peacefully last Saturday night in his home with his loving wife by his side. He was born October 31,1946 in Dyer County, son of the late B.C. and Geraldine McGarity Perry. He was veteran of the U.S. Army and a member of Friendship Baptist Church.

Mack Allen Perry was really smart, and he knew many things. He understood the workings of the world not just from voracious reading, his curiosity about people, but from focused pursuit of his passions. He will be remembered as a valued educator by many colleagues at Jackson State College, and his hundreds of students.

Mack is survived by his wife, Randa Colwell Perry. From holding hands in the schoolyard of Friendship Elementary School starting at age 5 to his final breath, Randa was Mack's destiny, and he was hers.

He is also survived by his stepdaughter, Rana Paige Price whom he loved and protected. His sister-in-law Jann Snyder and her husband Bob have warm memories of Mack Allen as well.

Serving as pallbearers will be Jackie Perry, Ham York Haley, Casey Burnett, Mark Campbell, Blake Haley and honorary pall bearer, Bob Snyder.
