Marilyn Ann Grant Finch, 66, of Dunlap, Tennessee, went to be with the Lord on January 12, 2025 following a year-long illness.

She was born in Chattanooga, on May 27, 1958, to the late Reynolds Grant and Cleo (Harris) Grant, and had lived most of her life in the Lewis Chapel community in Sequatchie County. She was of the Baptist faith. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and well known for her work ethic, she enjoyed studying genealogy, sewing, gardening and crafting in her free time. As much as she enjoyed these hobbies, her true passion was for her family, which she loved most of all. She was preceded in death by her sister, Elizabeth Mormon.

Survivors include her husband, Stephen Finch; sons, Keith (Lisa) Finch, of Rossville, Ga and Eric (Mindie) Finch of Dunlap, Tn; sisters, Patricia (Glenn) McDowell of Dunlap, Tn, Gloria (Tim) James of Fort Payne, Al and Deloras (Stanley) Rievley of Dayton, Tn; five grandchildren, Evan (Kati) Dodd of Lafayette, Ga, Skyler (Alex) Bragg of Soddy Daisy, Tn, Grant Finch of Hixson, Tn and Luke and Eli Finch of Dunlap, Tn; four bonus grandsons, Logan (Kelsie) Wells, Jordan (Darian) Camp, Booker and Tyson Bach; several nieces and nephews, many close friends and family members and last, but not least, her special boyfriend, Dewayne Finch.

Family will receive friends on Saturday, Jan. 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. CST with memorial
services at 1 p.m. CST in the funeral home chapel with Dr. Eddie Frye officiating.

Arrangements are by Standefer-Reed Funeral Home, 50 May Rd, Dunlap, TN. In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made in her memory to the Sequatchie County Fair (PO Box 1631 Dunlap, TN 37327).
