Caroline (Katie) Scott Blumenberg departed this world in the peaceful assurance of eternal life on Dec. 12, 2018. Her life was filled with 91 years of love, laughter and service.

Thank you to the staff at Hospice of Chattanooga for the loving care of our beloved Mom and Grandmother. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For those we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
