Mrs Jonnye's love for flowers was evident in the vibrant colors she cultivated, and her days were often filled with the sounds of her beloved Elvis Presley and George Strait, though her appreciation for all music was vast. A talented cook, her kitchen was a place of warmth and delicious aromas, especially during the joyous celebrations of the holidays, with Christmas holding a special place in her heart. For many years, she was a well-known and cherished beautician, her skilled hands and friendly demeanor leaving a lasting impression on her clients. In her last few month's she loved to color making beautiful pictures to show off to family and friends. Above all else, Mrs. Jonnye's deepest devotion was to her family, who were the center of her world and the recipients of her boundless love. Her warmth and affection will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her two Husbands, Charles  Deason and Jimmy  Skeen;  Daughter, Angela  Pittman;  Father, Curtis Tagert;  Mother, Gladys Crout Tagert;  four Brothers, Dennis  Tagert, Ronnie  Tagert, Harry  Tagert and Greg  Tagert;  five Sisters, Louise  Broom, Alberta  Robertson, Betty  Abene, Chris  Williamson and Vera  Broom.

She is survived by her two Sons, Grady Carter and Joshua  Pittman (Presley);  Daughter, Sandy Weatherford (Greg);  six Grandchildren, Charles  Russell, Jonathan Weatherford, Courtney  Clingan (Casey), Adam Weatherford, Alex  Carter (April) and Christian Carter (Emily );  Brother, Kerry Tagert;  Sister, Patty  Ponthieux;  six Great Grandchildren, Caleb  Carter, Noah  Clingan, Mason Carter, John Luke Clingan, Catalina Leming and Brooklyn Carter; and a host of nieces,  nephews, and cousins.

The family would like to thank St. Luke Hospice, especially Heather Riley, Vella Coleman, and Joan Remley for the love and kindness shown during her illness.
