Life’s Reflections
R. J. Stotts was born December 13, 1937, to the late Hattie and Wash Stotts in Fayette County, TN. He departed this life and entered eternal rest at Baptist Memorial Hospital on December 18, 2021.
R.J. was preceded in death by the love of his life Mrs. Clara Jean Stotts, of 62 years until her transition on March 18, 2021. He was a faithful member of his church New Philadelphia Baptist Church, where he served in the Male Chorus. After retiring from Cleo Wrap of 32 years plus, he was still a “go-getter.” R.J. loved working in his yard and fishing. Mr. Stotts had a love for dressing up. After his wife died, he continued to care for his daughter Carolyn Logan; that’s the last thing he promised his wife until his death. R.J. leaves to cherish his memory, his sister; Barbara Jean Hugghis Stotts, one daughter; Carolyn Logan, one son; Lorenzo Logan, one granddaughter; Tarsha Friends and one great-grandson; Tyler Friends, and a host of other relatives and friends.

I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee God wanted me now; He set me free.
