Karen "Vicki" Culler

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tommy Culler, her precious mother, Betty Jean Smith, and her much loved grandparents, Remer McCallie and Leona Fawn Gregory. Those left to cherish her memory are her father, Kyle R. Smith, daughters Tonya Lea Wood and Bridget Fawn Jennings, brother Kyle Richard “Rick” Smith (Sandra), grandchildren Patience LeAnn Shepherd (Jonathan) and Kyle David Jennings, two great-grandchildren AnnLee Reign and Waylon Eugene Shepherd, nieces Angie Marie Edwards and Sarah Elizabeth Smith, nephew Christopher Kyle Smith, her Aunt Vivian Christine Baxley, special adopted family Angie Lenore Alexander, and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, great nieces and nephews, and friends. The family would like to thank her nurses Angie, Kathy, and Chana who took such wonderful care of her.

Vicki was born on July 27, 1952, in Greeneville, TN, and grew up in the College Hills community in Tusculum. She loved spending time outdoors and enjoying the beauty of nature. She had a green thumb and always needed to have living things around her. However, her true gift was her cooking; her ability to create amazing dishes and meals was well known to those who knew her.

Vicki found her life partner in Tommy Culler who loved and adored her until his last breath was taken on this earth. In him she found unconditional love and acceptance and an extended family of children and grandchildren that they supported and cared for as a team. She sorely grieved his passing and is finally joined with him again in their heavenly home.

Vicki could light up a room with her smile and her laugh was truly infectious; you couldn’t help but laugh right along with her. She had an ability to engage those around her with her boisterous personality and magnetic attitude. Vicki was a devout Christian who loved to read the Bible and listen to classic gospel music. She will be dearly missed but she has been blessedly released of all of her worldly pains and is no doubt now in the heavenly choir singing His praises.
