Meredith Corley Hubbard, 59, South Pittsburg, TN She was described by those of us who were blessed to know her, as strong. She was strong physically, mentally and spiritually. She was described as selfless. She always put others needs and wants before hers. Loyal and supportive were frequently used to describe her in friendship, profession and especially by her family. She always offered her strength, wise advice, and faithfulness to those she loved. She was a woman deeply respected and loved. Rather it be spunky, feisty, or stubborn, all agreed she had that sass about her. She spoke the truth and did not hold back her opinion or beliefs, and she was usually right! Ginger, her daughter, described her as the most giving, strong woman and her very best friend. They had an unusually close relationship. She too, had an incredible relationship with Nycollette, her only grandchild, who was the source of her last smile and hug. Nycollette was her pride and joy. When Ginger married Robert she gained a son who she simply adored. She loved him so and thought of him as a genuinely good man and a loving and caring husband and father.
