Louise Phelps McNabb Way departed this life for the next, Saturday, May 22, 2010. The beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend passed away from this life at the house she made a home.
Myrtle Louise Phelps was born to Ira Ernest and Myrtle Allen Phelps on July 29, 1918 in Lenoir City, TN. Preceded from this life by her parents, brothers, Kenneth Allen Phelps and Ernest Wayne Phelps; sisters, Cereta Fern Phelps and Mildred Estelle ( Mrs. James Thomas) Grubb; by first husband, Glenn Nathaniel McNabb (1978) and second husband Glenn Melcoy Way (2005). She is survived by her daughter, Glenda L. Shaw and granddaughter, Victoria Elizabeth Shaw; grandson, D. Marcus Shaw, Jr. and wife, Stephanie all of Savanna, Illinois; son, Joseph N. McNabb of the home; sisters, Marjorie Elizabeth Phelps of Lenoir City and Laura Jean Gamertsfelder of Knoxville; many nieces and nephews, stepchildren step grandchildren step great grandchildren to cherish memories of her.
Louise was a member of First Baptist Church in Lenoir City and one who did not live her faith only one day a week. For many years a member of Rev. Dick DeMerchant’s Senior Adult Class, she delighted in providing and amazing array of theme decorations for banquets.
Putting family before her own interests, thirteen year old Louise left high school following her freshman year to help support her mother and younger family members during the Great Depression. In early years, she spent summers in Sevierville to help care for her grandfather, William C. Allen. She worked many years with the First National Bank in Lenoir City, first as a teller and then as Assistant Cashier before an early retirement.
Louise was intelligent and artistic. She was an accomplished amateur oil painter, later venturing into watercolors after several years of decorative work in metal and clay. She once created one-of-a-kind immediately recognizable caricatures of Lenoir City school officials and faculty on the improbable medium of eggshells. Mrs. Louise McNabb was the first treasurer of the first Clan Macnab Society in the USA, which she was instrumental in founding and was part of its first event at the Grandfather Mountain Scottish Games and Gathering in 1971.
Following the gift of a child’s doll from her sister-in-law, Mrs. Allyne McNabb Knowlen of Ooltewah, TN, she was for many years a member of the East Tennessee Doll Collectors Club and attended numerous conventions. Louise was particularly adept at creating period-appropriate doll clothing, especially for "fashion" dolls. Louise cherished visits with family and friends, especially children. She kept an antique bread bowl filled with toys for toddlers under a living room chair. Louise is remembered as a sweet and kind woman with strength of character.
A special thank you to East Tennessee Home Health and Hospice, especially Sheila Risher for more than 4 years of dedicated care.
