Lona Hellen Vaughn, age 82, passed away peacefully Tuesday, April 21, 2020, from an extended battle with illness surrounded by her family at home. Lona was born December 19, 1937 to the late George and Vida Benefield.
Lona was a woman of many talents and passions. Chief among those passions would be her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; they were the light of her life. Her children watched over the years as she showed her many gifts such as quilting beautiful patterns as well using her nurturing touch to encourage a fantastic garden to grow. She was of the Jehovah's Witness faith. Above all she was a wonderful and devoted mother and grandmother. She was loved and will be dearly missed.
Lona is survived by her children: Mikki (Paul) Breeden, Danny (Angie) Vaughn, and Jerry (Beverly) Vaughn; grandchildren: Melanie Breeden Hargrove, Jeremy Vaughn, Daniel Vaughn, Kayla Vaughn, and Brandon Vaughn, Leslie (Tim) Morton, Amanda (Mark) Lukasik, Kattie (James) Pritchett, Josh Potts, Reece (Christy) Eauton; and 14 great grandchildren. Lona is preceded in death by her husband of 53 years J.D. Vaughn Sr., her son Paul Vaughn, and her grandson Jason Breeden.
A memorial service for Lona will be held at a later date.
