Marye Anne Monroe Sibold - The Chattanoogan

She is survived by a brother, Dunward B. Monroe (Brenda); sister, Carol Monroe, sister-in-law, Beverly Monroe; sons, Samuel Garst Sibold (Jessica), Ward Monroe Sibold (Amy), Joseph Bradford Sibold; daughters, Elizabeth Stoops Sibold, and Lara Ellen Sibold; grandchildren, McKenna, Mason, Isabella, and Spencer Sibold; nephews, Eddie Monroe (Cristy), Scott Monroe (Cindy), Stephen Monroe (Ann), an uncle, Robert Monroe (Sue) and several cousins, grand nephews and nieces, as well as extended family: Troy Potter; Paige, Dakota and Wade Freed; Elizabeth and Joseph Hoang. Mom's serving and caring nature led her to Baroness Erlanger Nursing program after high school where she became an LPN, spending most of her career as a surgical scrub nurse and a home health care nurse. Mom also spent her life with passion for music and theater. From City High school chorus and plays, to the Signal Mountain Glee club and First Presbyterian Church choir, mom kept music in her heart and instilled the appreciation in her children. She admitted to being a sinner saved by grace to which fostered in us the trueness of Christ, believing that Grace is not something you earn. "For By Grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is a gift of God; not as a result of works" from Ephesians 2:8-9. Mom's greatest joys in life were her family members and without fail, showing us that she loved us and not just saying it. She was always selfless and self sacrificing, especially for her children of whom she was so proud. Anyone who crossed her path could instantly recognize her fullness of love and a magnificent sense of humor. Her ability to forgive others is unmatched; yet another trait that was second nature and a personal reflection of Christ. We have no doubts mom is with her Lord and telling Him about he... https://www.chattanoogan.com/2021/2/28/424095/Marye-Anne-Monroe-Sibold.aspx

Florist Makes Happiness Bloom In Trumbull With Petal It Forward Bouquets - Trumbull-Monroe Daily Voice

Wow. It’s beautiful,” said Farkas, once Raeann McLaren explained why she came up to him with an armload of blooms. “I’m going to give them to my honey.”Palazzo’s future in-laws, Debbie and Wayne Bradford who live in Great Britain and happened to be in town visiting, said they were happy to join in on the positive project.“I think they told me someone did this in New York last year,” said Debbie Bradford. “It’s great.”Nicole’s father, Bob Palazzo, said he started loading the flowers to be given away at about 6:30 a.m. The group planned to visit sites in Shelton, Stratford, Trumbull, Fairfield and Bridgeport throughout the morning and into the afternoon until all the bouquets — featuring roses, lilies and season garden mixes — were gone.Many see Pay It Forward Week as a time to secretly pay for the coffee of a stranger in the next car at a drive-through or buy a cookie for a fellow diner at a restaurant. As a florist, Palazzo said she believes Petal It Forward gives people a lasting gift of happiness.In fact, the Petal It Forward program at City Line is in partnership with the Society of American Florists, a national trade association. According to Palazzo, Petal It Forward is a response to new research showing the emotional benefits of flowers.“We see the positive impact day in and day out when we make our flower deliveries,” she said of City Line, which has been around since 1918. “People love to get flowers ‘just because.’”Her future sister-in-law, Georgia Bradford, said she enjoyed the confused looks on recipients’ faces.“Nothing’s free anymore, is it?” she said.“Nothing but the air,” said her dad. http://trumbull.dailyvoice.com/neighbors/florist-makes-happiness-bloom-in-trumbull-with-petal-it-forward-bouquets/686275/

Colorado Springs entrepreneur brings flowers and charm to Old Colorado City with Sweetwater: A Flower Market - Colorado Springs Gazette

When Kristyn Cline walked into a mercantile shop while on a solo trip to Nashville, Tennessee, last September, she emerged with a spark of inspiration.The experience she had in the hometown-feeling store and the accompanying flower truck outside the store gave her an idea to open a business in Colorado Springs with the same vision.And with that short seven-day trip, “Sweetwater: A Flower Market” was born. The floral and mercantile store that opened this week is named for Sally, Cline’s mother, who passed nearly three years ago. The logo features lavender, Cline’s favorite scent, and something that calms and attracts her, and she hopes others as well. Cline bought a building at 2419 W. Colorado Ave. in Old Colorado City for the brick-and-mortar business, where she felt the market would fit in with the historic vibe while growing the neighborhood.Cline, 52, created Sweetwater because she wanted to share her experience with a southern charm mercantile store in Nashville with the Colorado Springs community.“It... https://gazette.com/cheyenneedition/colorado-springs-entrepreneur-brings-flowers-and-charm-to-old-colorado-city-with-sweetwater-a-flower/article_7dbaedde-77a5-11eb-8fe3-1b45ec1a2d2e.html

Dayton Tennessee, pop up flower shop – The Triangle - Triangle

Written by: Eleanor Sanford, staff writerDAYTON, Tenn. – Love is in the air as Valentine’s day is quickly approaching. Every store in Dayton, Tennessee, is filling up with heart-shaped items and red roses. I recently met a local business owner, Lacey Raburn, who owns Raburn Acres. Raburn Acres is a local flower farm and florist that has been in Dayton for the past three years. I met Lacey at a pop-up flower shop hosted at Jennings Coffee & Tea. She brought in six buckets filled with colorful bouquets, and people began rolling in. Within 30 minutes, she had sold out. Lacey has a pop-up shop every Thursday morning from 10:30-12:30 at Jennings. She and her family have a farm where they plant and grow all their own flowers, which she crafts into some amazing bouquets and sells to the community. Lacy is currently working on creating her own workshop, she used to create all the bouquets from her kitchen counter, but as of January, she said, “I went from selling 15-20 bouquets each week to selling 50-60 every week.” She just opened a self-serve mini flower stand across from the golf course in Dayto... http://www.bryantriangle.com/news/dayton-tennessee-pop-up-flower-shop/
