Nicolee Carol Parton

Nicolee Hodge Parton, 62, passed away in her sleep Tuesday after a long bout with many illnesses over several years. She has now been reunited with her son Brian Houston Greene and father Robert L. Hodge Jr. in the House of the Lord. Nicky retired from TVA in 2012 where she worked for 37 years, joining the utility just months after graduating from Powell High School in 1974. She enjoyed horseback riding, traveling, reading, was an outstanding cook and collected Hallmark Christmas ornaments. In her home in Powell she kept a dozen Christmas trees decorated year-round, providing entertainment not only for her guests but for the many cats and dogs she owned over the years as well. She is survived by her husband of 32 years Joe Parton, her mother Shirley Ann Hodge, her brother Robert L. Hodge III, sister-in-law Roxy Anne Hodge, nephews Hunter and Zack Hodge as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and lifelong friends. Family will receive friends Saturday at Weaver’s Chapel from 4:00-7:00 pm with service to follow. Family and friends will meet at Berry Highland Memorial at 2:45pm Sunday for a 3:00 pm interment. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Knoxville Humane Society. Condolences are welcome at weaverfuneralservices.com
