Devona Kay Mattie, age 71, of LaFollette

Devona Kay Mattie, age 71, of LaFollette, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 12, 2026, at her home surrounded by her family. Through a 30-year battle with MS, her trust in God remained steadfast, reflected in her grace and quiet dignity. She was born on November 11, 1954, in Savannah, Tennessee. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church of LaFollette. She found joy in simple things, a good book, bird watching, and spending time with her family and friends, and certainly loved her fur babies, Dottie, Sophie, Bubba, and Murphy. She was preceded in death by Husband Greggory G. Mattie, Parents James and Karen Bain, Brother Derek Bain, and Sister Melinda Jordan, and Husband Keaton.

She is survived by Sister Stacey Ward and Husband Steve, and niece Regan Bell, a special blessing who brought her great pride and joy.

She leaves behind a close circle of friends and family who will forever miss her warmth, love, devotion to God, powerful prayers, long phone calls, and contagious smile. She is survived by several nieces and nephews, especially Libby, Beth, and Rachel; Uncle Billy Berry, Sister-in-law Evelyn Winstead, Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law Wes and Patti Mattie. Special friends Sandy, Christy, and Robin, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

Family and friends will meet 11 a.m., Monday, June 15, at Woodlawn Cemetery for Graveside Service and Interment. Rev. Wes Mattie officiating.
