That industrious spirit was a defining part of who he was. He also found great joy in his family, and his children and grandchildren kept him busy in the best ways. He loved his many nieces and nephews and will be remembered as a devoted son, a loyal brother, a loving husband, and a supportive father.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 60 years Geneva Everett Bloodworth; his daughter Linda Broadwell; and 6 siblings.
He is survived by his children, Richard (Rose) Freudenthal, Miller Bloodworth, Jr., Vicki (Joe) Sanders, and Donna Keith. He also leaves behind 13 grandchildren; 24 great grandchildren; and 6 great great grandchildren. Their lives carry forward the example of his strength, constancy, and care for family, and his memory will remain close to all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his sister, Una (Dinky) Lane, his two sons and their wives, and by the grandchildren he loved so much, Alexandria Dauenhauer (Jared), Corban Browning (McKenna), Rachel Ann Browning, and Tori Browning and by his four precious great-grandchildren.

84 Years Old
Sharon Hutchinson Doyle Borah, age 84, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 28, 2026, in White House, Tennessee. Born on February 3, 1942, in Toledo, Ohio, Sharon lived a life defined by her enduring heart for ministry, her devotion to her family, and an unwavering faith.
Sharon told everyone that the most important day in her life was when she accepted Jesus as her Savior at a young age. From that moment on, she lived a life of continuous praise for her Lord. She was widely known as a true prayer warrior with a servant’s heart, always ready to pray with and for others, and ever willing to extend a helping hand to anyone in need.
Throughout her life, Sharon was a dedicated homemaker who poured her heart into rearing her five children. Her passion for helping others extended far into her professional and ministry life. She was a lifelong elementary and special education schoolteacher, touching countless lives in several Christian schools throughout Florida. Sharon also served faithfully as a deaf interpreter, teaching deaf and hearing-impaired children and adults about the love of Jesus. Her devotion to the deaf community and her desire for all to come to know the Lord led her to start multiple church ministries for the deaf and hearing-impaired
throughout her life. Additionally, she was a passionate Sunday School teacher, leading many ladies’ classes and Bible studies over the years. In her later years she and her husband, Dr. Borah, regularly cared for local widows and those in need, ensuring they always had a way to attend church services.
Of all her earthly blessings, Sharon treasured her family above all. Her favorite memories were of travelling to see family, spending time gathered around the dining room table playing cards and games, which brought her some of the happiest moments of her life.
She was preceded in death by her late husband, Clarence Edward “Pete” Doyle, her parents, Ollie and Doris Hutchinson, her twin sister, Shirley Caldwell Oar; her brother Bill Hutchinson, her sister Beulah Weaks, her granddaughter, Heather Carter, and her grandson, Joseph Seth Carter.
Sharon’s legacy of love lives on through her husband, Dr. Raymond Borah of Springfield, Tennessee; her children, Charles Leadingham (Tammy) of Valrico, Florida, Della Waddle (Dave) of Indianapolis, Indiana, Clarence Stephen Doyle of Seffner, Florida, Mitzi Carter of Brandon, Florida, and Aimee Griggs (Todd) of Anna, Texas; and her children by marriage, Brian Doyle (Kathleen) of Wichita Falls, Texas, Angeli Doyle Todd of Tulsa, Oklahoma, JT Borah (Elizabeth) of Austin, Texas, Dan Borah (Lori) of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Candace Russell (Frank) of Springfield, Tennessee.
