ETHEL 'JANE' WILSON BOGGS
February 26, 2022
Ethel “Jane” Wilson Boggs, 87, Rocky Top, passed from this world to enter her Heavenly home Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022.
Jane was born at home in Coal Creek Feb. 1, 1935, to Godly parents, Luther C. and Mary Hatmaker Wilson. She spent all her growing up years in Lake City, the oldest of four children. Jane graduated from Lake City High School where she met and later married her sweetheart of 62 years, Charles “C.W.” Boggs.
As a young child, Jane came to know that Jesus Christ was her Lord and Savior. She was baptized at the age of 13, became a member of Main Street Baptist Church and began to serve The Lord with gladness! Jane taught and cared for the little ones, the teens, the bereaved and the benevolent. She was a faithful servant who worked in her church, planning, organizing and facilitating in every area of church business. She officially stopped serving as church treasurer in 2016, but was still overseeing communion services as long as her body would let her. Jane had a selfless, forgiving, generous, continually-nurturing and compassionate nature. She was happiest when she was serving others, socializing and surrounded by family and friends. On the fun side, Jane was well known for her sweet, sassy, witty, humor-filled spirit. Everywhere she went, she left others feeling loved and valued from simply being with her. For years, Jane loved serving the people in the Lake City community as she worked in her family- owned store, Wilson’s Grocery. Later, she continued making her mark on the community as she worked in Lake City and Clinton banks for over 25 years. Jane is preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
She is survived by: Daughter, Denise (Mitch) Dougherty of Rocky Top and her son Matthew (Becky) Boggs of Fayetteville, Ga.; grandsons, Chad Johnson, Travis (Brandy) Miller, Joseph (Frances-Lee) Dougherty, Nicholas and Noah Boggs, Duncan Moore; granddaughter, Lori Miller; great-grandchildren, Haylynn, Grace, Leigh and Riley; siblings, Barbara Lee of Oak Ridge, Mary Lynn (Alex) Foust of Knoxville, L.C.
