Amanda Leigh Schmidgall
December 2nd, 1978 – March 28th, 2026

On December 2nd, 1978, a beautiful baby girl was born to Paula Mae Lockhart and the late Tommy Lee Arnold. This sweet baby girl was named Amanda Leigh. On Saturday, March 28, 2026, Amanda gained her wings and transitioned to her heavenly home.

As a child, Amanda was very inquisitive and full of energy. She was affectionately called Lulu by family and friends. Family has always been very important to Amanda, and she made every effort to let her family know how much she loved them. While Amanda only had one sister (Attamara) and one brother (Eric), she had several cousins who were like siblings to her (Aishia, Tiffany, Drease, Tyson, and Montreal).

As a teen, she gave her life to God and was baptized at Key’s Chapel United Methodist Church where she attended with her late grandmother, Joyce, and her sister. During her teens, she met and married Michael Retana. Unto this union, God blessed them, with a handsome baby boy, Jordan Michael, and a beautiful baby girl, Alexis Leigh. They remained together until Michael passed in 2001.

Years later, she met and married Clint Clayton. During her marriage with Clint, Amanda attended Board Street Church of Christ where she rededicated her life to the Lord and became a member of the church. Although, this union was later dissolved, God blessed Amanda and Clint with a beautiful baby girl, Mya Leilah, and a handsome baby boy, Clint Michael Jr.

In 2020, she met and began dating Scott Schmidgall. They later wed on March 9th, 2022, blending their families. In this union, Amanda gained another son, Kavion, who she loved as much as her own children. During their time together, Scott and Amanda enjoyed visiting with family and friends, and traveling, including various casinos and dancing. They remained together until Amanda passed.

Amanda leaves to cherish her memory, her loving husband Scott, her mom Paula, her sons Jordan, Clint, Kavion, her daughters Alexis (Chris) and Mya (Gabriela), 4 grandchildren Michael, Miracle, Kylie, and River, 1 sister Attamara (Edward), 1 brother Eric (Marlieca), 4 nephews A’Darius, Sidney, Derick, and Desmond, 4 nieces Kayla, Macey, Anika, and Jamesa, a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Her memorial service will be held Saturday, April 4th, 2026 at 11am at the Key’s Chapel United Methodist Church located on 268 Reeves Street Lexington, TN 38351.

Ronnie Lynn Brown
April 23rd, 1953 – February 26th, 2026

Ronnie Lynn Brown, age 72, of Sardis, Tennessee, passed away on Wednesday, February 26th, 2026.

Born April 23, 1953, in Henderson County, Tennessee, Ronnie was the son of the late Fay Brown (May 24, 1931 – May 8, 2012) and the late Edna Brown (September 13, 1930 – August 24, 2023). He was a twin, born alongside his brother Donnie, and the older brother of Randy. But he was born first. And he carried that with him — he always felt like a protector.

Ronnie was a truck driver by trade who valued independence above all else. He began his career driving over the road but didn’t like being away from home. So, he did what he always did — he figured it out himself. He bought his own gravel truck and worked for himself for the rest of his life. He answered to no one. He gave more than he took.

Ronnie grew up without his father — not by choice, but by circumstance. He carried that loss quietly, along with the weight of things no one ever taught him how to name. Despite it all, he loved deeply and loyally. He showed up in the ways he knew how — in truck rides, in working side by side, in showing up when it mattered even when the words wouldn’t come.

He is survived by his daughter, Dr. Emily Brown Stanfill; his brothers Donnie and Randy; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. He loved his nieces and nephews. He loved his brothers. Even when that love wasn’t returned.

Per Ronnie’s wishes, he will be cremated. He didn’t want a show. But the family is going to have a small gathering because they want to hear happy stories of him — and want to honor him because he deserves it. His Celebration of Life will be held at Stanfill Funeral Home & Cremation in Lexington, Tennessee. Sunday, March 8, 2026, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM with his service to follow at 2:00 PM.

Ronnie didn’t want a show. He wanted the truth. So here it is: he was a gentle giant who got dealt the short end of the stick again and again, and he kept showing up anyway. He lived and loved fiercely. That’s not dumb. That’s the bravest kind of strength there is.
