She was born in Nashville Tennessee, the daughter of the late Albert Earl and Emma Lyell Damon. She retired from the State of Tennessee Department of Transportation in December 1999 after 50 plus years of loyal employment. She was a member of Vultee Church of Christ in Nashville TN for many years along with her family.
Her greatest passion was bowling and traveling! That passion took her all over the United States participating in local, State and National tournaments and eventually all the way to being inducted into the NWBA (Nashville Women’s Bowling Association) Hall of Fame in April 2013. Along with that recognition, Earlene served many positions over the years as president, vice president and director with the NWBA. She also served as a delegate at the WIBC Conventions. She bowled for more than 60 years and enjoyed every minute.
She is preceded in death by her first husband, David L. Shotwell, and their daughter, Patricia Ann Shotwell Hoffman, and her second husband, Robert Dennis (R.D.) Regeon, and their daughter, Jan K. Regeon McDade.
She is survived by her four grandchildren, Lisa Ann Hoffman McClellan, Vincent T. Hoffman, R.Troy Hoffman, and W. Brent McDade; two great grandchildren, Christopher T McClellan and Alina Ann Hoffman; three great-great grandchildren, Logan T. , Lucas B. , and Landon M. McClellan, and numerous other family members.
