FALL BRANCH, TN- Estilee "Sissy" Adkins Conley, 82, formerly of Pound, VA peacefully passed away Thursday June 27, 2024, at Holston Valley Medical Center after a lengthy illness. Her family was by her side.

Sissy was born December 18, 1941, to Everette and Rousia (Maggard) Adkins in Jenkins, KY. Being the oldest girl of eight children, Sissy was a caretaker from the beginning. Going on to selflessly care for children and loved ones, while putting aside all her need and wants. Yet grateful for the opportunity to be of service to others. Being a wife and mother was her calling in life.

Sissy had two children, Lashell Rena and David Allen that were her world. She worked tirelessly to make sure she was able to give them everything she could. She was a wonderful loving mother. She raised

her children to know God and taught their Sunday School class every week. And brought many children the word of God.

In May of 1983 Sissy was married to Dallas Conley in Front Royal, VA. He preached the word of God at several churches along the way.

In 1989 Sissy and Dallas retired to Pound, VA where they became longstanding members of Hubbard Chapel Church. Their faith in Christ was an example to many.

Sissy's favorite past times were cooking, sewing, crafts, crosswords, playing cards and talking with friends and family on Facebook. And of course spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

To them she was known as "Nonnie"
