Edward "Ed" Eugene Hull

Hull and Ruby Colboch Hull. He was also preceded in death by his siblings, Keith Hull, Bennie Hull, and Mary Ann Mitchell. Edward proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean War. After his military service, he devoted 34 years to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency before retiring. Following his state retirement, one of his favorite jobs was working at Dollywood as a tram driver, where he enjoyed meeting visitors and sharing his friendly spirit with others. He was a faithful member of Morristown Baptist Tabernacle, where he loved his church and his church family dearly. Edward especially loved spending time crappie fishing, something that brought him great peace and joy throughout his life. Edward shared 50 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Blanche Maxey, who preceded him in death in 2007. In 2011, he found love again and married Ethel Patricia Davis, blending their families and creating many cherished relationships. She preceded him in death in 2025.
