AL., Kelsey James Hall and her husband Jeff of Laurel, Raysita James of Laurel; grandsons Marty Bullock, Ray Bob Jefcoat and
his wife Kelley of Laurel, Drew James and his wife Angie of Pigeon Forge, TN., Raynold James of Laurel. She also leaves behind eighteen great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Webster Monroe Hill and Janie Clark Hill; siblings, Lawdis Hill, Sanford Hill, and E.V. Sutfin; husbands Ottis Columbus James, Thomas "Red" O'Flinn and her daughter Janie Katherine James Bullock.

She was adored by many and loved by all. She was affectionately known by her family and grandchildren as "Nana" though many others called her that too. She was a member of Kingston Assembly of God church early in her life and joined West Laurel Baptist Church where she taught Sunday school after her marriage to Thomas O'Flinn. After his death, she moved her membership back to Kingston. Prior to moving to Comfort Care she lived at Northview Villa. She met many friends while there and remained very active until she gave up driving her Buick. She was a homemaker and was known for making biscuits from scratch that was enjoyed by all of her friends and family.

The family wishes to thank the Doctors and the entire staff at Comfort Care Nursing Facility for the compassionate care given to her during the almost nine years that she was there. We would also like to thank her friends and the members of Kingston Assembly for their untiring devotion and visits.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to your home church in memory of Tressie O'Flinn.

Pallbearers will be Jeff Hall, Jim Teague, Jordyn Dubose, Taylor Jefcoat, Michael Ishee and Keller Ishee.
